The cutest clients ever - Backyard Garden, Blacksburg VA April 30, 2012
Being a portrait photographer is such a fine way to spend an morning. Spring time fills my hours with wonderful people who come into my garden to play. I can forget all those millions of things I think I want to do, should do, could do, - and haven't just yet.
My mind becomes content, I am focused and completely on where I need to be. The moment when the frog peeks out and grabs their attention, or when a barefoot child dips a toe into the pond. The moment when that pensive smile blooms into a full faced laugh. We do laugh - a lot. And we talk about things like, "maybe that frog needs some lotion for his bumpy skin" and "those look like really happy shoes" and "worms are fun to hold" and "would you like a bite of my peanut butter and jelly sandwich?" and "isn't she so kissable?"
It is more than enough.
Oh, I totally 'hear' you! The contentment we feel as we stop to absorb the simplicity of love and life and nature is like no other!
