Hello 2014!! Film Friday took a break for the holidays (which I am relieved to say is over) but it is back with fresh new filmy images.

I have quite a back log of images to share but I thought it would be fun to start with Chloe’s “birthday photo shoot”. Every year at birthday time I take the kids out to document another year gone by. Chloe turned five in November and I had the idea to do a “city” concept. The tune “hot child in the city…runnin wild and lookin pretty” kept running through my head as I was planning it. lol. I had grand ideas of taking her on the train or downtown but she’s still so wild which makes it hard if I don’t have a child wrangler present. aka DAD. So we skipped downtown and shot around Lewisville.

Nerd note: something I discovered from shooting inside this post office is that overhead florescent lighting can give you some FUNKY color casts, even if natural light is flooding in. Lesson learned!

If Chloe could be summed up in one image this would probably be it. hahahah. She’s my little Diva Pusher.

First time using a payphone and, of course, she wanted to call her Daddy.

Chloe styled and shot the bottom right photo. : )

Well, that’s it. Another year gone by. I will see Chloe off to Kindergarten in August. It seems like the years are flying by at breakneck speed. Yet, I find myself anxious for the next milestone. Why my mind is in a constant state of incongruity like this I will never know but 2014 is the year I hope to find balance in life. So here’s to 2014!! May it be the best year yet.
