a real day

i've started a new branch in my photography-it is called 'a real day'
see the pictures on the babydayphotography blog- a real day. i am so grateful to this family for letting me spend a morning with them. some of the pictures will be used in the IDC footnotes newsletter and hopefully this will lead to more opportunities with this type of photography.
here is one real morning for us...

the weather has been unpredictable-one day we are in short sleeves running in the meadow then the snow comes again and leaves us indoors. right now it is a combo of rain and snow out there-so the girls have invented a new game with the storage containers...

one morning last week-the sunrise was so beautiful that i ran up to the meadow in my pjs trying to freeze it in time-i don't know how landscape photographers do it-mine never really live up to how great it looks in the freezing cold while the deer scatter and the colors cover the whole big sky

one of those pretty days we got out the sidewalk chalk for the 1st time on the farm

another fun game-see how long you can jump on one foot...fun for hours :)

grant had his last basketball game of the season-he has improved so much in his knowledge of the game and his willingness to be aggressive on the court-plus i think he genuinely enjoys it which to me is the most important thing...

my friend nadia-came to the farm on sunday with her husband and little boy. i haven't seen her in years-and it felt so wonderful to reconnect with such a good friend. we laughed and watched the kids run around-the weather was a little too cold to stay out for too long and we found our selves making plans for when the weather finally is consistently warmer. her little boy is adorable-and it is so awesome to see her and neb as parents.

i'm dreaming of spring-but trying not to fast forward life too much...
