I have been so excited for spring to arrive so I could take my girls out and get some shots of the two of them together.

Finally, one Monday evening, we drove out to this great location in Grimsby that I had been eyeing. I was excited about the beautiful evening light and the great location, but of course my little one wanted nothing to do with it and held up her arms to be held nearly every image. So she got her blankie. I was able to get some shots in after that where she wasn’t crying or asking to be held but blankie was part of all the pictures.

At first I was sad, but then I realized that blankie is a huge part of who she is at this time in her life, and I want images that show who my girls are, that show their personalities. I don’t want posed, formal, perfect pictures, I want images that will show them who they were at 19 months and 3.5 years old. And I love every single one of these…
