Hannah got a new lens {50mm 1.8} for her birthday. Which, of course, equaled mandatory “let’s try out the lens” photo shoots for the afternoon. A glorious, mid-birthday celebrating afternoon — with the hazy June sun, and the humidity, and vivid green grass. With grandparents celebrating, and kiddos running around throwing water balloons, where time seemed to stand still. Just for a moment.

And in all of that she captured this rejoicing sort of moment between Samuel and myself.

Love. Love. Love.

Any plans for your weekend? My day will be full of mandatory ballet rehearsals, and make-up application, and quick sewing, and photography. Busy, and yet lovely.

That Hannah is amazingly talented! But then again, it would be hard to take a bad pic of the two of you.
