my little fairy pumpkin

I'm really tired right now. But my house is so clean because I worked my butt off today. At least Ella and I had fun shopping and going out to dinner tonight. She's my little buddy! I thought I'd throw up some of her pictures I promised. I don't think I love how I edited them, but oh well. They're still cute. You just can't go wrong with a little girl and fairy wings... I love her so much! (Except for the fact that she won't look at me when I'm taking her picture any more unless she's being naughty like the last shot when she's eating my shoe. Let's just say she's way over my camera.)

And I don't feel like adding my logo to these tonight. It's late. And I think it will be okay just this once, right. Perfect.

Thanks to Grandma Leslie for making the trip down to help me with this shoot, and for taking this shot. One day Ella's going to look at the literally thousands of pictures of her childhood and wonder why she never had a mommy...

Oh, and if you're wondering about this post's title, that's what Ella's going to be for halloween I think. She has a pumpkin stretchy and fairy wings and they totally don't match each other, so I thought, why not? She can pull it off...

ELIZABETH TAYLOR FRANDSEN PHOTOGRAPHY

What if you woke up one day and realized you had two passions in life: your family and your photography. And you weren’t willing to let one or the other go. Well, let me tell you. The time on your phone would brightly glare out, 4:13 am. You’d wonder why you were awake. Oh, that’s right. Your baby still doesn’t sleep through the night.

What if the next time you checked your phone, still awake mind you, it said, 5:17 am. You’d again question your not sleeping awake status. But oh, that’s right. You can’t turn your creative little mind off and it’s always on photography.

You know what your husband is dreaming about.

It’s not photography.

So you slip out of bed to squeeze in a few uninterrupted hours of design time. Then, like clock-work, your family comes alive, oh say around 7:14. (Well Ella wakes up then, Jordan’s a minute behind, because seriously, who sets their alarm for :14 anything?)

By noon you’re beat. Exhausted. This is madness you think. And then you realize it’s nap time. Suddenly, all the world is well. You lay down next to your angelic daughter (all children resemble angels when sleeping) and think how lucky you are to have the best of both worlds, madness included. No studio hours to keep, no baby sitters to pay. Just you. Your family, your business. At home. Loving Life.

It works for me.

Thanks for stopping by and welcome to my life.
