I love this photo of my Mom & me.
Two of hearts (Beth & Arianne play with my belly.)
Then this morning I had a preggy photo session with Marianne McNamara of Scandica: Fine Art Photography (a prize I won a while back thanks to Katja at Skimbaco!) at the beautiful Northerly Island in Chicago... at sunrise. It was actually such a peaceful drive up there and I took it all in. Such a good feeling to get out of your box (unless you normally are out driving around at 4:30 in the morning) and breathe in life and the amazing surroundings right outside our door. To take my favorite line from Wall-E, I don't want to survive, I want to live. Yes. Me, too.
I know that Crooked Eyebrow will be downloading the hundreds of photos she took last night and I'll be posting my faves throughout the day. And as soon as I have any shots from my gorgeous photography session this morning, I'll get those up, too!
Ok. awesome. can you please explain wall-e? where Have I been? is it a blog??
ReplyDeletewill check back later for more pic.
Wish I was there, but family time calls.
