With “June-uary’s?” temps going from 30 to 60 degrees in less than a day, Mother Nature is playing a wonderful game of Peek-a-boo with me-right in my own backyard!
Day #10- Game.
( I thought everyone would be expecting a baseball photo, or a basketball photo, or cheer or even gymnastics, so I decided I’d throw you all off! This one is for my MOM, the quintessential goddess of the garden, dirt and all things spring. <3)
Every photographer should be lucky enough to have a great assistant- to help them get the shots that they sometimes aren’t able to get ( for whatever reason), or to simply help them carry their gear when they aren’t able.
I am *that* lucky.
My lovely assistant and daughter, Natalia got this shot for me at the salon the other day when I wasn’t quick enough. I wasn’t thrilled with her color choice, though ( because Hope only wears shades of red) and she chose a purpley pinky color. So, like any other photo editor would do found in such a position, I switched it. 😉

(I hope you people with iPhone cameras realize just how lucky you really are. Those things ROCK.)
Still Life.
Told you all I wouldn’t make 365 consistent posts.
I was out after day 2. Thank you sickness. At least I know my limits 😉
But I am trying to play catch up and now I’m just kind of lost.
This is my older sister Holly. I knew I wanted to use her for “Optimistic” but I couldn’t remember what day # optimistic was. I still don’t know?
( Lost a few memory chips in my sickness haze…. )
My sister Holly and I are only 16 months apart and were raised almost more like twins than sisters as I was always a bit taller and she was always a tad smaller. She barely reaches 5 foot now. (unless you count her hair.) Mom liked to dress us alike, give us identical outfits ( just different colors). We always shared a room. Shared friends. Sometimes could share clothes, but not shoes Holly is very tiny. And contrary to many men’s wishes, never boyfriends- we have very different tastes.
Anyway, Holly has always been that certain light in my life that everyone needs. Everyone looks for. Fittingly, Holly loves all things sparkly and glittery, just like her- things of light. We could not be more different in that way. Or in the way that we dress. However, many times I wish I could be more like her, more expressive, more free, more ‘perky’. I tend to be a bit too conservative.
Holly spends her days making other people feel good about themselves, making them beautiful, too! And if that isn’t “Optimistic” , I don’t know what is.
