the mcfarland family // atlanta ga family photographer

one sticky morning in june spent exploring, chatting about days past living in brooklyn, wondering exactly what kind of bugs may live in that bamboo forest, and hoping the rain would hold off just long enough... i'm very thankful that it did!

the 52 project // 26

"A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014."

penny: when trying to find a picture that best sums up week 26 this was definitely the winner. your dad and i were away from you for 3 days and 2 nights, and though i would like to believe that you missed us in our absence, truth is you had the time of your life. you spent the days playing with your two older cousins, and seemed to have picked up a few big kid traits while you were at it. i'm certain you grew a year in just 3 short days. and now here we are at the half way point of this 52 project. 26 down, 26 to go!

"A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014."

penny: suddenly this whole growing up thing is happening very quickly. within just the past month you started school (or camp. you call it both), are officially potty trained (except naps & nights), and have moved on into a big kid bed. your language skills are also developing at about the same rate and you now correctly use phrases like "as well" and "no biggie", which crack me up to no end. i thought it might be hard to watch you leave behind so many of the baby traits you were still holding on to, but each new step is more exciting then the last. i absolutely love watching you grow up, and seeing this little person you're becoming is pretty much the greatest thing in the world... but you still want to be snuggled and tucked in "snug as a bug" at bedtime, and i'm ok with that!

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...
