This past month my youngest has started giving neck hugs, and they are quite possibly the best thing ever.
They are a remedy when I am worrying about how I will deal with a full year with out my husband, and my children without their father.
They are a remedy when I am feeling overwhelmed and question if keeping my business is the right thing to do in the coming months.
They are a remedy for just about anything.
Yesterday, before I took these pictures, I was changing her into this onesie because all her pj’s were dirty.
I picked her up and she did the ol’ neck hug and I started (badly) singing to her. She pressed her head up against mine closer, closer, closer and just hummed and tried to sing too.
The sun was setting and and I could see the purple flowers on the tree outside.
They don’t stay like this. Why can’t they just stay sweet and simple?
I wanted to keep myself there forever.
I never know what is the right size pictures for my blog. Too big? Sigh.
** ALSO, don’t forget that I donated a portrait package and a wedding package ($2000!! value) to St. Therese’s auction that is this Saturday. They are both in the silent auction and I believe that starts at 6pm. I won’t be there until 7ish, but if you see me, say hey!
these are beautiful. beautiful girl, beautiful shots, beautiful words.
and i think that size is perfect.
thank you stacey <3
i am bi-polar about my sizes! sometimes i like big and sometimes i like collage and small.
i guess it doesn’t matter.
BEAUTIFUL! The light and her sweet face in that first shot is amazing.
with a sweet beauty like her, they are never too big.
very beautiful!!
Oh, Rachael. Ever since I saw your fb update I’ve been dying to see these photos. They are beautiful. The first one…. I hope you get a large print of it. It’s just exquisite.
Aww! The light in that first one is amazing. Beautiful!
Rachael, so gorgeous. And her eyelashes. Mygoodness. I’m sorry to hear your husband will be gone for a year. I can’t imagine handling that. But maybe having a business will be a good distraction? Anyway, she has the most fabulous lighting in her bedroom.
