moments....

I love that photography

can capture a moment.

It finds the feeling and emotion

of a single moment, and as I view it...

reminds me to do the same.

"The trick is to enjoy life.

Don't wish away your days,

waiting for better ones ahead.

The grand and the simple.

They are equally wonderful."

Marjorie Hinckley


A simple and grand
day in the park.

I feel blessed.

K-SHOTS!!

Last year when Justin had his

Kindergarten shots,

I left wishing

I had brought my camera to document

the sweet interaction as Gracie helped Justin

through this traumatic time in his life!!

Afterward, when Justin had tears in his eyes,

I thought it was because of the shots he had just received..

but he and Gracie were both in tears

knowing her time,

was yet to come... This time I came prepared!

Last year, they had decided Gracie

was NOT going to attend Kindergarten...

(no kindergarten=no shots!)
Well, things changed

as Justin has LOVED Kindergarten!

He worked hard to convince her- that it would be worth it.

"It's not that bad Grace,

I mean it does

Really,Really hurt...

but Kindergarten is

Really,Really fun.

You want to go Grace."

Forgetting about the appointment until 5 minutes before,

worked to our advantage!

Gracie didn't have long to think about what was coming.

I told Justin his job was to take her mind off the shots.

As you can see from the 'before' pictures...

he did a great job!

We were all kept entertained as they posed for the before shots!

BEFORE

AFTER
I don't have near the pictures of the 'after'!
:(
Gracie wanted Justin on the table with her.
He put on all 5 band aids!

This picture melts me.
It's as if she is thinking...
A pink sucker was so
NOT worth 5 shots!

But an ice cream cone on the way home helped!!!!
