love {lexi and craig}
when my daughter, alexandra/alex/lexi, asked ‘me’ to do a photo shoot of ‘her’
i was happy and shocked…as my daughters are so over ‘me’ saying to ‘them’…
let’s go and do some shooting…yeah, i’d love to…but…i’m really busy right now…
…but i love you mom…
so, needless to say, i jumped at it.
she had some pretty clear ideas of what she wanted, and of course, the second love of her life,
(first love=horses…seehorsey {girls} post)
craig, whom did i mention we just love to death, was going to be included in some.
while i was shooting the two of them, i felt that she had let me in a very sacred place in her teenage life. one that i don’t think a lot of mom’s are allowed to enter. there was so much love, fun and emotion and i wanted to capture every moment possible…the same way i want to for anyone i ever photograph.
i have to be honest and say that this particular session was extra meaningful to me… and
it also reminded me of why i love to do what i do so deeply and why i know how important it is to have a visual record of moments that will never be again…
so that they can be visited and revisited again and again and forever.
here are lexi and craig…
when did my little girl grow up?
i love this one.
these are totally unscripted…
they’re just having fun.
this was definitely my idea…
…thanks for playing along;)
wow
is all i can say…
and thank you alex.
you are so beautiful inside and out and
i am more proud of you than you can ever know.
i love you both.
