Ella and Mommy - Salt Lake City
My daughter and I were excited to go to my beautiful friend’s book signing at a local book store. My friend is a fabulous writer and amazing photographer. Our entire family is thrilled with all of her success.
The problem, that evening, was that we arrived early. Really early. Ella wanted to go in, but I knew that lingering around would only get awkward and tiring in about 5 minutes, so we waited in the car. I had brought my camera along to take candids of Heather and Jon, but pulled it out early to take some shots of my girl. She asked if we could pose together and this is what we got.
If you ever want to feel old and decrepit, just take a close up of yourself next to a child with porcelain-like skin. It’s awesome!
The theme this week at I Heart Faces is “Self Portrait”. This is my entry in the kids category which required me to be in the picture with a child. No tripods were allowed. I had my arm out as far as it would go (thank god the minivan has a deep set windshield!)
