Love What You Do

 

This is Lucybug, one of my “year in the life” beauties.

 

And this was the day she was supposed to have her 3-month shoot.

 

But I was sick. And Lucybug was a sleepy girl.

 

Rescheduling was pretty much impossible considering the busy schedules of Lucybug’s family and mine. So I asked her mom and dad to meet me in a park near my house. I figured that way I at least wouldn’t spread my germs in their home, where I would normally shoot. And I wouldn’t have to drive far. And we’d make it short since it was a rather chilly day anyway.

 

Big yawn. (Yeah, sweetie, I know how you feel. That camera was SO heavy!)

 

It’s not as if you can just reschedule and do 3-month pictures when she’s 6 months.

 

Look at her! Is she just the sweetest? Awwww. I love the fall color palette in these images too!

 

I was so thankful to Mike and Sharon for driving up to my house so I wouldn’t have to drive to theirs. I don’t think I would have made it.

 

But being outside for a half hour was actually a bit refreshing. And if I’d cancelled, I would have missed the chance to capture this sweet kiss.

 

And look! She’s waking up!

 

I understand she’s quite the smiley baby when she’s playing at home.

 

Thank you again, Sharon and Mike, for being so understanding about my yucky cold that day. I am SO glad we shot anyway, and so glad for the chance to capture images of such a beautiful family!

Here’s my prayer for Lucy: May you grow up doing what you love and loving what you do enough to love doing it even when you’re feeling kind of lousy. Amen.
