Planning for Paula’s session (known as “Mammy” to her granddaughters) was so much fun…photographing them all together was even better than I anticipated. I knew that Paula was an extraordinary mom and educator, so I envisioned we would pull out some fun educational toys and materials. We started off their session with puzzles, toys, and some great dress-up clothes. The girls were so precious!
I am such a dog lover, something that did not escape Quincy’s attention. Quincy is Paula’s adorably sweet golden retriever – I told her it was therapeutic for me to spend the afternoon with them, since we no longer have a dog. Quincy’s expression in the photo below is priceless, and quintessential golden behavior…long-suffering, patient, the perfect companion for little kids and their parents.
Having a tea party was a fantastic idea, but we were all surprised that Paula chose to use the china tea cups. Now that’s a brave woman!
I learned from Paula that her husband Steve enjoys gardening, and had planting beds ready to go for a new crop. It was the perfect opportunity to get the girls involved in an activity with “Boppy”. When little miss m. started helping her grandpa, she looked sheepishly over at her mom who was standing nearby, announcing that she would be getting dirty. She then proceeded to kneel very daintily in the planting bed with a coy smile on her face…priceless!
Paula, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to capture the love and the beauty that surrounds your family. May these images be a blessing in all of your lives for years to come!
