Lonely - but hopeful?


edited to add - thank you to everyone who commented.  I had held on to this photo for a few weeks now - it is very personal for me.  Has been kind of a rough 6 months for me emotionally and this photo really hit at my core.  I wasn't sure I was going to post it - but for some reason this morning - it was ok and I did.   

I guess this is just one of those rare photos that reaches into you (the person taking it) deeper than many others and becomes special because it really speaks to you.  We all like most of our photos - otherwise we wouldn't share them - but for me - as I am sure it is for all of you - we have the one or two rare and special ones.  That is what this one is for me.  

I really wasn't sure what the reaction to it would be - your  comments, your kindness, your encouragment and inspiration mean so very much to me.

Thank you.

Emily doing a "double stag leap" (at least that is what she told me).  She does this leap during her lyrical routine.

Emily - again.  

I wanted to try out some new backdrop paper I got and our ice day was the perfect opportunity.  I also wanted to get some practice with it because I had a session scheduled for this coming Saturday.  That was cancelled today - really kinda bummed, but I am more concerned about my client.  She had emergency surgery today.  I really hope she recovers soon and then maybe we can rebook.

I took quite a few different shots of Em - and of course like any proud Mom - I will more than likely post a few of them.  I gotta say I am proud of both of my girls - Kylie has seemed to capture my love for teaching and children.  She is going to make one heck of an early childhood - grade4 teacher when she finishes school.  And Em - not only is she one heck of a model, but has also captured my love for photography.

Add to that a husband whom does nothing but support and love me - and I am extremely blessed .
    JenniferD > September 11, 2009  John..  I took your advice last night....  half the bottle.  ;)

Yesterday was just one more chapter in a month and a half of nearly constant stress.  It started with a very unpleasant surprise having to do with Ian's job (he still has it - nothing has changed with his position -just unpleasant financial news).  Then some extended family issues that is very emotional and highly charged and yesterday - the air conditioner decided to start screetching like someone was taking a power tool to it.  $650.00+ later we have a new fan motor.  I really wanted to drink the entire bottle but couldn't because I have to be out and on the road by 7:15am. So John (very smart man that he is) suggested I just have half the bottle - which I did.

Emily is home from school today - not feeling well at all.  I will probably have her in to the doctor later this afternoon if I can get an appt. Why do kids (at least mine) always seem to get sick on Fridays and then there is the mad dash to the dr before the weekend hits.
