Vivian Update!

I've been spending a lot of time with my beautiful daughter Vivian.

And it is AWESOME!

(Wardrobe by Vivian)

She's 2 and a half now and I love every minute of our time together. This Vivian update is brought to you by the terrible twos (FYI).

So two of the most hilarious things she said this weekend were...
While smushing ants one evening I asked Viv why she wants to smush ants when everything should be allowed to live. Her response: "It's my job."
The other awesome thing was while we were listening to Gangsters by The Specials. As soon as Terry Hall began singing she tilted her head to the side and in all honesty said "They sing prettily."

Her favorite songs are:

Electric Feel - MGMT

Gangsters - The Specials

Message in a Bottle - the Police

Pajama Party time - Smoosh

and

Three Libras - A Perfect Circle

This child is very much like me. Energetic and kinda crazy.

Every new trick she unlocks...

Every new skill she masters...

I'm proud and humbled.

This kid is a lion.

I try to enable the dream.

And allow the attempt.

And she still finds time to rock the fashion!

Her favorite colors of the moment are Blue, white, black, and orange.
Her favorite toy is Bunny.

Just want to say Thank you Vivian!

I love the park even if "I'm sweaty all the times"

You are amazing all the times!

I love making you laugh!

And talking about ideas!

I love you my little teenager. ;)

Other awesome moments worth watching:
Cheeseburger and Fries
Our First Walk In the Rain
Silly Silly Moon
Viv Jams to Donna Lee

Adventure Shoot! With Faith, Kia, Adam, & G!

I love to explore! So when local photographer Faith Puckett wanted to get together to go on an adventure, I was all in!

Ever since the Ceasar's Creek shoot with some of my other friends I really wanted to work with Kia again, so I called her right up (actually facebook as it is now) and luckily she agreed!

Kia is super cool and very interesting! This time she brought her boyfriend and photographer G along who runs 2Sick4You Photography.

We started out on the waterfront of the Ohio river (this was originally supposed to be a waterfall or water shoot but the weather changed:) and ended up at a secret place Faith knew with an abandoned paddle boat!

So off we went to explore!

This is a scene you don't see every day! I was totally sure we were going to get arrested, but no! "The Man" showed up as we were packing everything up! Haha! Sucker!

One of the areas that was really amazing was the engine room so we took a few in there.

This handsome gentleman is Adam Delane (model and actor). This guy is awesome! He was Faith's guest for the shoot. I know there aren't as many photos of Adam on the blog here, ladies, but I mainly worked with miss Kia, so you'll have to head over to Adam's website or Forever Faith Photography for more! ;)
