My new apprentice

Every week, our house usually gets a visit from an adorable little 18 month old little girl. I once told my roommate, Tricia, “HB loves you.” To which she replied “HB loves everybody.” And it’s so true. She loves to hug people and she starts to booty dance every time she hears music, even if it is just you singing to yourself. And my husband is the worst. One time, he rushed into the room her on one arm and a tub of M’n’M’s in the other hand and gave both to me. He said “Here. She wants candy and I can’t tell her no. You tell her.” Oh goodness.

She’s so photogenic that I have been using her as my model for…well, eighteen months.

But she’s starting to pick up the whole camera thing. Now she races towards my camera and lifts it up to her face. It’s much heavier than regular point-and-shoot cameras so I’ve always got a firm grasp on one end. The other day, she figured out how to press the shutter. I took a look and holy cow, she took a really nice picture. I think…I think she’s got talent.

Now the logo is actually incorrect. A photo always belongs to the individual who took it. So, disclaimer here: This photo is actually the property of HB, I guess I have to make a “HB Photography” logo. Just a few color curve adjustments in PS and there’s your final product. I’m thinking I can be her second shooter when she hits five.

The Happiest Place on Earth…

..is behind the door that beckons me each night after work.

But we did visit another place that came close…Disneyland. See, it all started a few months ago when Scott and I went to see “Up.” I was blubbering in the movie as usual but this time, when I looked over to Scott I saw that I was not alone. He was wiping away shiny tears on his cheeks. He walked out of the movie with a resounding goal for us to start traveling and not miss out on our dreams. So, we celebrated our 2 year anniversary with a short jaunt up to Los Angeles.

I’ll have to blog with my hubby’s pictures because I didn’t take my camera. I didn’t have room…we probably had the most inefficient packing ever. I had the day off but spent it cleaning the house because we were having a friend house-sit for us. Yes, he’s a 25 year old bachelor who probably could have cared less as long as the mini-fridge and tv was working…but I have an insane need to leave the house spotless. It’s the same reason why I brush my teeth before dentist visits and wash my hair before a visit to the hair salon.

It was such an awesome trip. And although we’ve been back for a week, I feel like I’m just getting back into the swing of things. And just in time. This weekend, I have two sessions coming up. A maternity session for a little baby girl. And a family session for some good friends, Whitni and John. John is being deployed on either Monday or Tuesday and won’t see his wife and 4 month old son until next year. So, we’re really trying to see if we could squeeze in some last minute time together to capture this moment to keep with them for the next months.
