My Daughter...

I am so proud of Alaina. She is almost 9 and we are seeing more and more of her gifts and talents. She is an amazing reader and makes my heart swell when she devours a new book. She loves music... and likes it loud. She is kind and compassionate. She is an amazing help with her siblings.

This thing that I am particularly enamored with at the moment is her interest in photography. She has a really great eye and a curiosity that makes her a great student.

The only problem with this experience is that I am the only subject in our house that will hold still long enough for her to shoot., correct, and shoot again. So that means after years of few pictures of me...we now have hundreds. And I am giving directions in many of them...

And while I am not a huge fan of being on this side of the lens- I am so proud of her work.

(And I promise that skirt is not nearly as short in person!)
