Spring

When people come to my house for the first time they often ask if the Hubby or I ever lived in Hawaii.  We have a beach house in the middle of New Mexico.  It is adorned with sailboats, sand from many beaches, flip flops, shells, and woodys.  Yes, my heart belongs as the beach....  So, one might assume that I am a summer girl.  And, up until just a few years ago I thought I was.  But, I have since learned that I am a Spring girl at heart.  There is just something so thrilling to me about the dreary winter being taken over by flowering buds.  And, while I love that Spring seems to come a bit earlier here than in Utah (lets face it, it is STILL snowing there!) I could really do without the wind that New Mexico is famous for!  Yuck Yuck Yuck.  Anyways, I have had the idea for this shoot in my head for a long time...it was all just a matter of waiting for the trees to cooperate.  Of course, this particular morning just had to be a bit chilly.  But, my little K was a real trooper (the things the kid will do for the promise of a cookie!)!  So, I present: SPRING
(side note: I uploaded these pictures a different way tonight all for the sake of time and they came out looking a little grainy.  Bummer.  At least I will know not to do that with client photos! :) )

She has the most adorable "mad face".  Usually, when she gets mad we just say, "quick get the camera she has on her mad face!"  And, she breaks into a huge grin.  So, I was surprised when I told her to show me her mad face, she was able to do it!

Just being my cheesy!

Oh, and you might have noticed that I have totally dropped the ball on Project 52....this baby has really taken the umph out of me this time!  I hope to (maybe) pick it up when he gets here... We'll see....
