my little leila.bug






upon my recent return from a wonderous trip out west, i found myself (once again) glued to this creeky old wooden chair beside my computer, sucked right back into blog world. i never initially do what i intended in blog world, because of course, one thing leads to another and before you know it, your digging thru old albums. revisiting places youve been. people youve meet. old memories. yatta yattta yatta. so. its no wonder, why i find it to be so overwhelming and time consuming. because i make it that way! ahh. well, today i came on here intending to upload pictures from our trip to wyoming, but instead - ended up in an album from the summer, of my leila bug. leila is my love, who i nanny for. she is great. shes bright.curious.caring. and has the most contageous chuckle.giggle.outburst of laughs one will ever hear. and i miss her. i will see her soon though and i cant wait for that big squeeze ill get from her :) i love when we're driving places, and i look back at her in her car seat all strapped in. she has this little look of thought, when she stares out the window just looking out, kind of bobbing her head around in happiness with a gigantic grin ear to ear and her squishy cheeks pushed up high. and she just looks so joyful and content. i shouldnt interrupt these moments but i cant help but start to laugh and smile myself and tell her "you are SO CUTE. or. i LOVE you. or. what are you doing back there you little stinker" and i wonder what thoughts she is thinking in her (2 yr old) mind that are radiating bliss from the inside out. ill never know. but its fun to think about. and is part of what makes that moment so unique + special. i love those.
being so expressive and adorable, she is (hands down) my favorite subject to shoot. shes natural. + .pure. and the combination of those squeeze.me.cheeks + long thick hair... its love to my lens. her smile takes me to another plant. and while i look at these, i hear her laugh. and it is so.good.

and then i look at the rich green grass. and fluffy.lively. trees in these photos.. and i begin to think about summer. and i begin to miss summer... badly. so then i open more summer albums, and stay stuck in blog world for longer periods of time.(im not complaining. really. its a love hate thing) stay tuned. im sure ill have more up very soon, in between runs to the laundry room to address the mountains of clothes that need to be washed.folded.putaway. yikes. unpacking is awful.
