This week I have my Me and Mine Shot.  I'm so thankful for my friend Jayme for keeping me accountable to do this.

This is me and Nala.  Just loving on eachother...because yes her pulling my hair does constitute loving...




Excited to see Jayme Franklin | SF Bay Area Natural Light Photographer  Me and Mine Post.  Go check it out!

School started for MacKenzie this week.  5th grade...time just really really flies...

Here is a shot of her the morning of the 1st day of school...snuggled in bed...

And here is one of the many reasons she is so excited about 5th grade...finally...band...here with her shiny new saxophone.

Praying for a wonderful school year...that might slow down a bit...

This week we left the girlies at home and headed to St. Louis to meet up with Mia, Rhonda, and Myles.  Loved road tripping with my girl.  I've got to plan more one on one stuff with just her.  Love the girlies to death, but I confess sometimes I miss my me and Mack time.  MUST DO THIS MORE OFTEN.  So glad we made this happen.

Here's the deal...I'm pretty lucky.

I'm lucky she was willing to let me practice on her in 100 plus degree weather so that I would be prepared to shoot this the next day.

I'm lucky that although when it come to my girls...lifestyle is the photographic approach I embrace...she gave me these still moments that force me to look into her soul and see that she is becoming a young lady right before my eyes.  I'm reminded to cling to the here and now...today...make the most of the time we have.   Life is going by far too fast.

I'm lucky that she's on this photography journey with me.  I'm loving watching her develop her eye.

Yes, indeed, I'm pretty lucky.
