Yes, one thousand smiles for 1000 photos. I could hardly imagine it.
But there we were on a beautiful fall morning, all our family gathered together.
A young friend gave to me, a grandma, the gift of a photo shoot.
For me to share with my daughter in law.
How thoughtful is that, to gift her gift and skill to me?
I was intrigued when she wanted to go to the kids' rooms and
photograph them jumping on their beds or playing with their legos.
Totally fun stuff.
She even brought along her eight-year-old son/assistant to make the kids laugh.
Most of the time.
Acorns dropping from her head helped too.
A gift I will treasure forever, but
not as much as her friendship!
Friendships that give the gift of learning and growing and inspiring and thriving... they are priceless! SO ARE THESE PHOTOS! Looks like you have a wonderful mentor in the photography division!! blessings ~ tanna

Your photos are so precious like the ones we recently had done with my grandsons. Priceless!!! She did a wonderful job and the one with legos touched my heart!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my DD's apartment and yes, this reminded me that Alexandra is a professional photographer and does just this! You were so lucky to receive it as a gift, as G'children's photos are priceless for us gands. I can't believe how your grandchildren have grown, so Little One must be very tall by now. How funny, cause I met you just with that darling girl.
ReplyDeleteMy grandgirl Victoria is 10 now and very tall too.
Thanks for your sweet and lovely visit. Enjoy your weekend.
