Wow, can I tell you that I LOVE to actually be in the picture. I'm doing a photo a day project on flickr with some of my photography friends across the U.S. and Canada. I wanted a picture of me with my hands in my son's hair before we cut it. I run my hands through his hair a million times a day. It's just so lush. So I asked my husband to shoot some pictures for me. And I LOVE them. I love seeing me interact with my kids. It makes me want to focus my photography more on intimate connections. Because--I just love these. And the last one, with his little baby hands on my face, just warms my little mother heart.
Most photographers love afternoon light. It's just warm and magical. And every once in a while it is just right. I love my daughter's hair. Redheads are part of a special club that everyone notices and loves. And this light just makes her hair so vibrant and spectacular. I wish you all could see it like I see on my monitor. Her freckles are so striking and adorable. It just doesn't translate on my blog.
