hold onto the gratitude

hold onto the gratitude, originally uploaded by Papillon Sky Photography {amy}.

today is the first day of picture the holidays through paper coterie. it was a challenge to get my photo taken and to find my gratitude. the morning consisted of my kids crying about various things me trying not to lose my mind. finally i stepped outside, way outside, to our bamboo forest at the back of our enormous yard. the silence filled my ears, and i realized it was a beautiful day! the sun was shining and it was so warm, especially for december first! i was flooded with gratitude. interestingly enough, my lens was not focusing. i don't use it very often and i don't know when it broke but i decided to take some blurry images, because of the symbolism. it's so easy to lose our focus during the holidays.
why were my kids screaming? partly because of the anticipation of christmas the desire to get presents, open those presents and play with them! oh the waiting! and they were unhappy because i was busy trying to get gifts ready for relatives who are in town.
for a moment i had peace as i sat on the floor of our "bamboo forest". for a moment, i felt grateful. then someone yelled for me to come inside (lol!!)
i included the bottom image because it provided a nice contrast, yet had a similar composition to the above image. there's the little one tugging on my leg, begging me to come inside. focus, mommy!

one more vintage style photo

25:30 this moment, originally uploaded by Papillon Sky Photography {amy}.

Start thinking about your next photo shoot and what you'd like. I am currently booking for January 2012. I do weddings, birthday parties, anniversary parties, reunions, maternity, newborns, etc. and even if it's cold outside, we can find some cool places indoors to take your photos.
I'm all done with photo shoots for 2011. I've got to focus on finishing up my own family photos and getting ready to give them out as gifts.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

I just did a vintage style photo shoot with my family on Friday. I've had it in my mind for quite a while and we finally gathered our hats and outfits and took the pictures. My friend Ashley snapped the family and couple pics for us. I'm so grateful she helped us capture this special moment.
Interested in your own vintage photo shoot? For an additional fee, I'm happy to go shopping with you downtown and help you find the perfect outfit. Absolute Vintage will even rent the outfits to you if you don't want to buy.
