A quick “peek” from a session today with a darling little girl who’s about to turn one…couldn’t resist sharing this with all of you and a chance to wish each of you a wonderful Valentine’s Day…shared with family and friends who you love! More to come of this cutie and her family later this week!
Wednesday…the day that signals you are half way through the week…many are relieved when we hit this point, as it means the work week is close to being finished and the weekend will be here…sooner, rather than later! I enjoyed my day with my sweet granddaughter, Jayden, and let me tell you, I adore these “mimi days” as they are times that create memories and for both of us! As a child, I spent a lot of time with my maternal grandmother and still remember clearly the times together…watching Little House on the Prairie, eating rice pudding for dinner (a real treat!) and all thetimes she had the patience with me, teaching me how to sew, knit and crochet (okay, so I don’t really remember the last two…guess I need to revisit those again someday!)…but what most stands out in my mind, is the love she had for me…and the confidence in what I could do and the encouragement to not give up…and as I sit here and type this, there are tears in my eyes, I still miss her over 26 years since she has passed away. Oh, how I would love to tell her about my days with Jayden, I know she’d love to hear all about it…but she is watching over us…and enjoying it all! So, for me, these “mimi days” are what I hope to create for Jayden…special memories that will live with her for a lifetime…and that she will hopefully, pass along someday to her own grandchildren. Now, I will admit she is my first grandchild…only one so far, but I do know that I want to create these memories with all of our (future!?!) grandchildren…because memories are priceless and will be remembered for a lifetime…of course, I’m throwing in some photos to go along with these…and that makes it all the more special for me!!
Here are a couple photos from our time together today!
Yesterday morning sweet little Kinsley and her parents came over for her 9 month session, but it wasn’t quite what any of us had thought it might be. Poor little girl is fighting a cold (and poor mom and dad…so hard on them as well) and didn’t have the smiles or energy they had hoped for. There were some tears and some snuggling with mom, but we did get some photos…and although no smiles, there were some cute expressions and her outfits (for Valentine’s) were adorable. Since dad could come along they wanted some of Kinsley and her daddy, so we were able to do that…and some of her alone and a few of the three of them. Despite her not being herself, she is still very sweet and her beautiful brown eyes are as pretty as ever. So, for now, the photos, but I know that when it’s time for her one year session…she’ll be feeling good and we’ll have a great time playing and photographing…and I’ll be looking forward to that!!
Special time with her daddy…that is something to be cherished and will definitely create some special memories for both of them in the years ahead!
The blocks were a big hit and I don’t think I could have gotten this block in “mid air” if I had tried! It was quite cute…Kinsley wanted every block off the posts…she was certainly very determined!
What a wonderful family…it’s obvious that Kinsley is adored and worshipped by her parents…what a very lucky little girl…she’s truly blessed!
There’s nothing better than snuggling on mom’s shoulder…Kinsley was tired and ready to wrap up her session for the day…for not feeling 100%, she did quite well. I look forward to seeing her when she turns “ONE!”
