The big girls had the day off from school today. We headed to the library. They are reading a Sandra Boynton book – Little Pookie.
I didn’t even consider leaving my camera at home. The library we were heading to has beautiful big windows and I knew the light would be lovely.
And yesterday, Valentine’s Day, I took off from my post-every-weekday Pogo Project. But, I took lots of photos of my lovely niece who is three months old already.
Awhile back, I wrote about my fears about going into business. Just getting them out in the open helped them become less scary.
Today, I did something I’ve been meaning to do for months. Make a Facebook page for my business. No big deal right?
I wanted to have all my ducks in a row before I did it. Lovely website including a perfect portfolio, all the right contact info, session info, pricing… You get the idea.
I don’t have my business website set up yet. I did get an email. I don’t have a bunch of photos at the ready for people to look at. It goes on and on for me. I become paralyzed wondering which thing is most important to do first. I realized that doing something today was better than perfect someday. (Patton’s Law – A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.)
So, with my ducks scattered around the pond, I put up the page. Ta-da!
A few years ago my great friend, Erin, asked me to photograph her sons. I came over and they played. They didn’t look any different than any other time I had visited them. She didn’t fuss over their clothes or tell them what to do. It was fun for everyone involved.
This photo is from that visit. Yesterday’s photo of Augusta swinging reminded me of how much I love a swinging photo. The above swinging photo is an all time favorite of mine.
Erin and her family moved to Florida. I miss them.

Some people say they love babies that they can give back at night and when they need a diaper change. I love babies who wake me at night by touching my cheek and asking to nurse, poop in our tub after a shower together (happened yesterday) and dance when I walk in house after I’ve been away for an hour: my babies.
I was talking to friend today about the cuddle filled days I’m having with Atticus recently. I told her about how he got in to bed with me at four this morning. He crawled in and said, “I want to be close to you mom.”
She said, “Soak it up.”
Today’s photographer: my daughter, Savanna. She will be ten this month. We were all out together enjoying the snow. I asked her if she would take pictures of me with Augusta. I handed her the camera and then said, “Oh! You have to focus using your thumb on the back of the camera.” (Back button focus) She said, “No problem.”
