Little Girls...


     When I was little, I was in love with the movie, "Annie." We had an old VCR tape with the musical recorded onto it, commercial breaks and all. I used to beg to pull out the tape and watch Alicia Morton dance and sing across the screen for two hours. Years later, all it takes is one small phrase to trigger my memory. Then before I know it, I am singing the familiar melodies all over again.
     Last month, my photo shoot triggered my memory such that I was singing in my head throughout the shoot and on into the editing. I would recall the grouchy Ms. Hannigan shouting, "Little girls, little girls, every where I turn, I can see them..." as she chucked a small teddy bear across the room. And I would smile as I looked at these two sweet little girls that I had the honor of photographing. Ms. Hannigan hated her job working with little girls. I loved mine.
    This photo session of "little girls" was filled with all things pink and sweet. I was still singing. Tea parties, frilly handmade skirts, ribbons in their hair, and a pink Valentines day wreath on the door. What more could a girl ask for?




















     Completely off topic... I did my first maternity shoot today :) Lots of spring photos coming, so stay tuned.
