just the two of us.





josh & i haven't had any formal portraits taken of us since four days before heron's birth, almost four years ago.  so when becca asked if she could take pictures of josh for her artist portraits project (which he needed for his new, coming-soon website, anyway), josh said i should dress up, too, & jump into some shots.  these are a few of our favorites.

i'm an instagrammer.

facebook i could take or leave.  i finally deleted the app from my phone & oh, what liberation!  but instagram?  in love.  trouble is, i forget to post those pictures here, & i probably take more pictures with my phone than with my fancy dslr.  so.  here we are, all caught up now...

becca's office

it's been a privilege to glean some photography wisdom from this lady lately.  we had a lightroom learning session today, & i assisted her last week on an engagement shoot.  this is her lovely studio in the towne storage building.

saltwaters


today was the first spring-like day my jungle feet have felt in months.  heron & i donned our saltwater sandals & went out for pie (with sheppy, too).  then, a sunny climb at the park.

westmoreland park

a new (to us) park.  filled with birds.  including one little blue heron.





dinner.


more precisely : crispy grilled kale and pancetta risotto with toasted walnuts.  divine.

heron's first haircut

it is very difficult to not post a play-by-play photo montage of every family milestone or activity.  it's what i do.  so welcome to heron's first haircut!  she is almost four, & she finally agreed to a trim of those waist-long wavy locks.  i had planned to take her here (now that i have a high-maintenance short platinum blonde cut, i have a regular salon for the first time in my life.  kinda weird for this low-maintenance gal...). but once she saw this place one day when we were walking by, all of the sudden she was begging for a haircut.


: she got to watch "the little mermaid" during the haircut :


: at the end of the cut she was given a sweet little braided up-do :


: & sparkles in her hair :


: she loved it :




though i thought this would be a little heron-mama date, she'd asked me earlier in the day, "would it be okay if sheppy came with us?  he's my very best friend, & i'd really like for him to be there..."


: they both had a ball :


(the salon also has a playhouse, table games, & race cars for the boys to sit in, so he was well-entertained, trying out all of the cars & cooking in the playhouse kitchen)

: first haircut certificate! :
