We are in the second week of school here in California.
So Far....So Good
(although I don't want to jinx it)
(although I don't want to jinx it)
The transition to Middle School has been a good one - for Both of Us!
~ In Years Past ~
~ Like So Many Families Across America ~
The First Day of School was filled with Mom rushing to get the Perfect Picture (followed by child grumbling and groaning)
Last year I finally got Smart - and started doing a Dry Run Sunday.
Little K get's to try out her First Day of School Outfit - and I get to take all the pictures I want.
No Rush
No Hassle
Everybody is Happy
This year - Little K actually asked ME first - if we were going to do a photo shoot before school started.
Aaah - after years of training - I've finally got her requesting that pictures be taken.
There is One downside to my plan. I ended up with over 200 shots. Many of them were really good.
How will I ever choose my favorites
What a difference it makes when my child is relaxed and happy (and mama too).
She was willing to pose anywhere I suggested - and I was willing to try HER suggestions too.
This shot was on a wall about 12 feet off the ground. She had to climb on my shoulders just to get into position.
Oh what the neighbors must think of us.
Time to be a little Goofy
And a little more Serious
And maybe a little Cheeky
So how was the First Day of School in your house?
I have a feeling this is going to be a Great Year.
Love her Back to School outfit and the pics...I have twins who started middle school last year and had a great year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Karina! She looks to young to be in middle school though! I love your idea of doing this the day before school starts. Love her outfit and cute little flower ring! Hope she has a fantastic first year of middle school!

Awesome idea and she's so beautiful. I can't believe our babies are in middle school.
ReplyDeletelittle K is growing up so fast and is so pretty! more importantly though -- and i can tell from the projects you work on together and the way you describe your relationship -- she is growing up to be a kind, creative, caring person (just like her mommy). kudos for being an awesome and fun mom!
