One of my favorite things about Texas is the way the roadsides and fields look like they were painted blue every March/April when the Bluebonnets bloom. They make even the shoulder on 635 look pretty, and that's not an easy task! Bluebonnets were one of my Grandmother's favorite things and they always make me think of her. Finally this year, I had a photo subject worthy of being posed in the sea of blue...so I dressed her to match and we met Uncle Brad in Plano for a little shoot. The outing did interfere with her bedtime, but it was worth it.
*for some reason, this picture is looking really green. First thing to figure out.
We had a great time getting Reagan to look at us, smile, make faces...she is always a good sport with a camera in her face. I guess she doesn't know any different since there has been one there since she was born. I should just put a picture of myself on the front of my camera since she sees it just as much as she sees me, ha!
I have a hard time leaving my favorite spot behind the camera and getting in front of it. I've seen a lot of "momtographer" blogs and their various posts/challenges about taking more pictures with your kids...it's true that it is so easy to just stay out of the pics, but I'm sure one day Reagan won't care if my hair looked bad that day, or if I wished I weighed 50 pounds less (while I'm wishing, why not 50, right?)...she'll just be glad there are pictures of us together. So I allowed Uncle Brad to persuade me to get in the shot with her...and I'm glad I did. I like this one of me and my little doll baby.
So, Grandmother, we were thinking of you that day out in the Bluebonnet field - I'll make sure Reagan knows they're your favorite and we'll always remember you when we take pictures among them every year!
