I tell you, I heart this kid more than anything in the world! She makes me laugh on a daily basis which I know in large part is do to my complete silliness. I’m a big face and noise maker. I’m all about trying to make my kid laugh. It’s when she comes up to me for no apparent reason and asks me to turn my head so that she can give me a kiss that I know I’m doing a good job. That being said, she’s a wild and crazy kid! She still has way more energy than a person should and she plays like a boy even though she likes to dress like a little princess. Today I had to take some photos of her for Valentines Day like I always do and this year we’ll be incorporating her photo into her actual Valentines that she’ll be passing out to her classmates that I’ll share later once I get them in (they’re going to be way too cute…..can’t wait!) I usually take a photo of her with a heart shaped lollipop, but today I opted to use the lollipop as a bribe rather than using it for the photo. It’s actually come to the point where I need to bribe her……”you can have the lollipop if you just let mommy take a few photos of you and mommy will be really quick!” Each time she acted up I told her that I was going to give the cat the lollipop (the cat gets a lot of the blame in our household!) In between her cheesy smiles she gives me this……
I personally love photos like these. Not every photo has to have a huge smile in it even though that’s what she’s doing most of the time! For me, this is the true essence of my daughter and why I love her oh so very much!
In other news, I’ll be heading home next weekend for my niece’s birthday party and I’ll be spending an extra day out there since my sister is off on Fridays. So because of that I won’t be able to attend a benefit for Olivia that’s being held on the 13th. I’ve donated a session and print credit valued at $300 for the silent auction so if you are in the area, please be sure to stop by and help this little girl and her family. Click here for details.
I love where I live. I love how when I cross the border into Vermont, I feel at home. But with that peace and love comes heartache as well. I miss my family back in Syracuse. I hate that I have to say good-bye each time we visit. I hate that my sister is pregnant and I don’t get to visit with her every Friday that she’s off from work and get to hang out with her and my niece. Sure, Syracuse is only 3 hours away, but 3 hours is long enough that I can’t make a day visit out of it. And to top that off it seems like each time I was home last year, some sort of photography was involved and I didn’t get to spend as much time with them as I would have liked. How I wish that there were faster means of transportation other than flying that would get me there in 30 minutes so that we could both live where we are! I wish that my dad and Mary could see Lilly more often and that I could go over for the weekly dinners like my sister does.
And this is just a little silly and it’s not that I want our husbands to die or anything like that but……when we were all living in Buffalo, NY (me, Dan, Betsy and Justin) my sister had moved into another apartment complex a couple of towns over after living in the same complex as me and Dan for about a year. The new building that she was in had these elderly sisters that lived on the lower floor right next to the entrance. They were the nosey type……sitting on their porch asking questions whenever they’d walk by, etc. Me and Betsy told each other that if Dan and Justin pass away before we do, that we’ll once again live together in a little apartment, with fake flowers and lawn chairs asking people questions so that we can know all of their business. So it’s not that I want our husbands to die or anything (believe me I don’t!)…..it’s just that having my sister with me again will be like being back home again. My home is Vermont and I love Vermont, but a piece of my heart will always be in Syracuse.
So no real point to this post, just a piece of me and a little insight into my life which I think is something that’s important when considering having someone photograph your most precious moments!
So it was a cold day-actually it was a really cold day back in early December when I met up with Chris and Jessica in downtown Bennington! Jessica had a bunch of locations and outfit changes in mind and off we went! Towards the beginning we had gone in front of some office buildings and the office that happened to be next door was for the US Army and it was then that they told me that Chris would be deploying to Afghanistan. These photos were meant to be. I just loved seeing them interact with each other, laugh and hug……treasuring the moments they have together……which is something that we should all do all of the time!
And how about a little slideshow from their session?!
Chris and Jessica- thank you so much for letting me capture the two of you and thank you Chris for helping protect our country.
