Oh little Sadie…how I ADORE her so!!! I think she secretly wants me to be her 2nd mommy…LOL. Ok Auntie Elna has first dibs…but then ME. I was so happy that Tania & Lashley wanted to do another shoot with Purple Nickel…probably their 5th session?. I’ve know Tania for quite some time now. We first met at PP…back in the day. That’s code for ‘The Picture People!’. Yep we both did it. Guilty. I like to say it was my college job. And to think Tania kept applying and coming in begging Erin until she finally turned 16 and could get the job. So cute & very motivated. She’s gonna be something I tell ya…she has the eye for photography and is constantly getting busier. Now her dang website just needs to be up and running. I also had the great pleasure back in 2006 to photograph their wedding & reception with my fellow friend & photographer Erin Durband. Well let me tell you it’s been so amazing hanging out with T & L and especially now with their little girl who just melts my heart. Everytime I see Sadie I fall more in love with her & so does everyone else. Except for when she’s teething. I’ve never heard someone so tiny yell & shout so loudly. Maybe she’s testing her vocals…oh great can’t wait til we can’t shut her up. Just joking. Sort of. She’s probably gonna say the sillest things too. Well she’s already a natural in front of the camera (her mommy has trained her well) and you’ll see shortly all her amazing faces. I just had to post this one first…I love the leading lines, the colored Converse, and Sadie’s simply gesture of ‘pick me up mom!’. Can’t wait to show you their slideshow.
