My reasoning for starting a blog was fairly superfluous and kind of selfish really. I got sick of emailing pictures in attachments to my mom. So, because I am of a Type CAPITAL A personality, I figured the easiest way for my mom to see pictures her growing granddaughter was to post it all in one place. So, being in an overachieving, kill two birds with one stone mindset, I hung some pictures, typed up some fancy words and called it a day.
Then I decided that I wanted to become pro.
Pictures of Mackenzie at Sea World were quickly replaced by photos of families, weddings and models. Periodically, a random photo or two of Mackenzie would pop up along with an anecdote of something cute she said or did, but even those became few and far between. Instead of us going out for little photo shoots, I am more often found sitting at my desk, a laptop under my fingers and a scowl on my face and she is climbing my chair, playing with my hair. Calls from my mom started coming in, saying how much she loved my work, but where were pictures of her adorable granddaughter?
So, a few weeks ago, I found some free while I was photographing a conference and I purposed myself to take my favorite little model out and snap some shots for my mom.
As you can tell, she doesn’t like the camera at all.
