the 52 project

week 36

penny: i told you we were going to be going to the doctor for your healthy checkup in a few days, and it made you pretty nervous. i then reminded you that you had been with your best friend, stella, when she had her check up at the very same doctor, and you had lots of fun there. you were still pretty unsure of it all. i then asked if you'd like to facetime stella and have her tell you all about it again. you did, and it helped heaps! the two of you then proceeded to have a cyber tea party and a snack together. you'll never fully appreciate how amazing this day and age is that you live in. also, you ended up loving the doctor... but not the shot!

week 37

penny: we hiked up stone mountain. you ran the entire way. can i please have a bit of your energy???

week 38

penny: we were killing some time waiting for stella to meet up with us, so i started explaining the subtle technique of holding a bit of foliage in front of the camera lens to create that blur on the side of this photo. it held your interest just long enough for me to get this weeks 52 photo. also... there's a mosquito biting your wrist. sorry.

week 39

penny: you and i got into a pretty good car accident this week. it's all you want to talk about. i guess it's your way of processing it all. so yes, i will tell you allllll about the day we got into the accident again... and again... and again.

Sylvie + Violet // atlanta ga

It's not very often that i get asked to just come over, play with the kids, and see what sort of images come of it. i must admit though, that i'm pretty sure this is when the most magic happens. this is my second year getting to hang  out with Sylvie + Violet (check out how little Sylvie was last year!), and i can honestly say that watching families grow, and getting to be a part of making their moments into tangible memories is the greatest part of being a family photographer. and i mean come on, look at that adorable little thumb suck. heart. melt!

week 30

penny: for a split second i thought about telling you not to soak your dress, but in the end i'm glad i kept my mouth shut. this hour or so splashing in the creek ranks up there as one of my favorite moments of summer.

week 31

penny: danielle and i took you and stella on a little ladies road trip to chattanooga for the day. we ate delicious food, explored in the 100 degree weather, were pleasantly surprised to find some vegan ice cream when we most needed it, cooled off in a splash pad, and practiced our cart wheels in the park. you were both so good on this trip and it's just another epic adventure to add to the penny & stella story. i can never say enough just how much it means to me that you have a best friend who is so important to you at such a young age. in the words of stella, who when asked at school what it means to be caring, stated this... "it's like how i love penny, and i show penny that i'm caring by hugging and kissing her".

i couldn't even type that without crying again.

week 32

penny: you are pretty smitten with babies these days. when you see one you make squeaky little noises and hold your hands to your face because you just think they're so darn cute. we had been telling you that when we went to visit our friends sarah & chris in philadelphia they might just let you hold the new baby, and you could hardly contain your excitement. i think this moment was everything you dreamed it would be. your very first time holding a baby. and it was intensely heart warming for me too. there's nothing quite like the feeling of watching your "baby" fall in love with one of your best friends baby. oh, little miss evan rose... we miss you so much already!
