Dallas child photographer, Dallas family photographer: 5/52 and 6/52

Yes, I skipped a week. Oops! But, I made up with it with LOTS of shots for me this week! Whee! Dallas saw a record-breaking amount of snow Thursday and Friday--12.5 inches--and the Clark house took full advantage of it. My sweet girl would play and play and play until she couldn't take it any longer and would break down in tears because she was "fwwweeeeezin'"! We aren't exactly prepared in these parts with snow suits or waterproof mittens, so the wet and cold got to us quickly. But, again--she was mesmerized by it and we were mesmerized watching her. These are the kind of shots I meant to take when I started this project--shots for me, shots of my life, shots that documented my most prized possession--my family. Here are a couple of shots from our snow days!

Dallas child photographer: 4/52

It was bound to happen. Being the habitual procrastinator that I am, I knew I would wait until the laaaaaaast possible second to snap a shot for my 52 weeks project. I didn't expect it to be in week 4. But, like many households, ours was a crazy one this week with meetings, workshops, retreats, ballet, playdates, etc. So, here's week 4. Still in our jammies at noon. But, know what? I still love this shot. It's SO her. And I love the light on her. I love her mischievous eyes, her cheesy smile (yes, she's saying CHEEESE, which I did NOT teach her). For my photographer friends, this is SOOC. For my non-photog friends, that means straight out of camera as in I did nothing to the picture except upload it and watermarked it. Like I said, it's been one of those weeks. :)
