photo shoot (10.16.11)

It’s rare these days that I’m able to talk Brittain into letting me take pictures of her and Coleman. There’s that and then there’s the whole other issue of being able to catch Coleman at just the right time when he’s full AND rested. On this particular day the weather was perfect and Coleman was in good spirits, and I quickly learned that it’s all in the way you spin it. When I presented it to Brittain as a big girl photo shoot, she quickly jumped on it and started pulling together what she felt like were the perfect “teenager” outfits. You gotta love the red bandana and the hot pink shorts…but in the end, it actually ended up being pretty cute. But it’s the pictures at the end of Coleman and Brittain together that I love the most. I get a big ol’ lump in my throat every time I look at them.

cousin Madison (8.16.11)

Brittain felt an instant connection with her cousin Madison when she stayed with Gramy and Papa while Doug and Michelle made the move from Charleston to Denver. After the move, Brittain would consistently talk about going up to visit and being able to fly in a plane for the first time. Before we had the chance to do that, circumstances changed and we were thrilled to find out that Doug, Michelle and Madison were moving BACK to Charleston.

The weekend of the big move, Brittain got to spend some more quality time with her cousin…
