exploring atlanta, downtown decatur

last week penny tagged along while i did a bit of location scouting for a family session. we had yet to explore much of decatur and this was just the excuse we needed. though really, it may have just been an excuse to photograph penn in her new yellow rain boots. either way, we had fun... atlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographer

the joyce family // atlanta ga family photographer

on a very typical humid southern evening, i met up with the joyce family. two little ladies, both whom i'd never met before, ran up to me with arms full of delicious smelling flowers. they were so excited to meet me, and the feeling i had was very much mutual. with leaves as wings we floated around in the setting sun, and i had the pleasure of capturing this sweet family. i felt very lucky on this night... atlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographer atlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographeratlanta ga family photographer

penny: you had your first day of summer camp last week. you could hardly wait, the new backpack and sneaks only made your excitement grow, and it didn't hurt a lick that your best bud, stella, is going to camp with you too. this also happened to be the first time that we dropped you off somewhere that you had never been, to be watched by someone you had never met. it was a really big day for all of us. thankfully you 100% loved it. when i came to pick you up a few hours later, you gave me a quick 'hi mommy' and went right back to playing. you told me on the ride home that you made new friends, and naturally that made me cry. i'm so proud of how well you did at "school/camp" (which is what we had to start calling it when a few days before your first day you asked me if you would sleep in a tent there. you thought we were going camping again. confusing, i know!). and though you now proudly proclaim that you're a big girl, and can do anything and everything yourself, you're still not above asking to being wrapped up and rocked like a baby before you go to bed... and i'm absolutely ok with that!

penny: how incredibly proud of yourself you are now that you can finally reach the monkey bars! and just so you know, i'm pretty darn proud of you too.
