My favorite photo of me

Day 17 - A favorite photo of yourself and why

Today is much easier as far as topics go.  I love pictures.  I love the memory behind the picture.  One of my favorite pictures of just me by myself was taken in Philadelphia last summer.  My husband and I went there on our 15th anniversary.  We were visiting the 5 squares of the city and in Rittenhouse Square we found a giant frog.  He was so fun and just begging to be "kissed".  I set up the picture and had my husband push the button.  I love it.  It is my profile picture for blogger.  I also love it because when my daughter was 7, the local Sears Studio had a fairy day.  My fairy obsessed daughter had to have these done even though we had just had her 7th birthday portraits 2 weeks before.  They had this cute little frog they used as a prop in the mushroom scene setup.  I asked my photographer (who had taken my daughter's pictures since she was born) if we could get a picture of her "kissing" the frog.  My photographer loved the idea.  My daughter...no so much.  The picture is priceless and after our session, that pose became a signature pose during that promotion.  Here are the pictures.



Like Mother, Like Daughter

    1. No, I just discovered we both had frog pictures in practically the same pose this morning. I am definitely going to do something with it though.

    1. I need to find more time to scrapbook, even if it is digital. I love to tell stories with pictures.
