This is how I know it’s going to be a good day. No glitches getting into town (i.e. no flat tires), open space in Visitor Parking (I actually had quarters for the meter), a 50% off sale at Kiwi baby (even though I wasn’t supposed to be shopping)… and showing up to a home with a sign that reads “Mahalo” on the front door. I hummed the Mahalo song (from my website) the entire session.
It gets better. This little girl was awesome. She had her charm on the entire morning. Her parents were pretty cool (you know, for parents…) and they let us walk all over the neighborhood to find some shadows, steps, bricks and flowers. I had a blast.
“Mahalo, that means thank you, mahalo, mahalo, mahalo…” (imagine Laurie Berkner singing that, not me).
[This was about the 3rd shot out of the gates... I almost said "OK, I am finished, I can go home now."]
[Green wall, ISO 2500, smiling happy baby, do you need anything more?]
[There are no words.]
[Feel the love. I dare you.]
Oh my! I thought it’d be just one photo as a sneak peek but it was absolutely delicious to scroll down to 4 (!) photos! These just took our breath away…
You just made our just-entering-stranger-anxiety babe completely comfortable with you and non-clingy and her Papa, who’s usually not comfortable with being photographed, at ease.
Mahalo from the three of us!
i am in LOVE with her
