from the flower field.

I flew up to Sacramento Friday evening and was catching up on blogs while we waited for my mom to go out to dinner. During my browsing, I saw that my friend Ashlee was hosting a pop-up portrait session in a flower field near her house on Monday. A fifteen minute photography session?! In pretty yellow flowers? An excuse to wear the new skirt I found for $20 on clearance? Too good to pass up.

Thankfully Ashlee still had room for me, so Monday night, baby girl and I took our first "real" photos. (I say "real" because they don't involve me precariously balancing my camera on an upside down flower pot that's resting on a coffee table and then hiding the camera remote and hoping for the best.)

I am thrilled with the images we grabbed and enjoyed a quick catch up session with Ashlee. I have saved for a big "bun in and out of the oven" photo session for May and then June, but these photos are so very special for me too.

Thank you so much, Ashlee, for capturing these for me and the little one. Photos are the BEST.
