What Spring Feels Like


There is a wonderful photographer from California whose work I truly admire.  She often blogs about "in betweens"... the soft, fuzzy images she gets by accident on a photo shoot. 
You get them when your finger flinches or your subject moves - and you're left with an image that at first glance seems like something you should delete.
But before you do... take a closer look.  
What does this photograph make you FEEL?
Warm?  New?  Fresh? Loved?
Just like in life, "in betweens" can be the most precious.  The moments in life worth saving.  
The moments we'll wish we had back later.

Little Miss B

Sidewalk  Chalk?  Check.
Running Shoes?  Check.
Sunglasses?  Check.
Just making sure I had everything I'd need to keep up with this little lady.  Miss B just turned two... and she's using all of her spirit and energy to keep her parents on their toes, that's for sure.
We met up a few Saturdays ago at the Discovery World Museum in downtown Milwaukee.  A beautiful setting for natural light photography - and of course, lots of space to run.
When Miss B decided to stop - to watch the boats and adjust her sunglasses... I snapped some wonderful photos her parents can enjoy for a lifetime.  Thanks for the workout Miss B... and for reminding us all what fun two can be - especially when it's sunny outside!
