I basically warmed the temperature, saturated the eyes, and then used a vignette. What kind of processing software do you use/like?

Olivia started preschool last fall and many times I have wondered if I should have waited a little longer. I remember the first time I drove by the yard and watched her hanging out with the clan it struck me that she was "by herself". I thought this stage was going to last longer...before others would have a greater influence on her than before and when I realize I have to slowly let go. At least I hoped it would last longer. btw, your site looks great, and a perfect name change for it. This is a really stunning picture you took of her. Do you adjust the image at all? What do you use, if you do? Hi Jessica

I find myself wondering similar things. Olivia started preschool last fall and many times I have wondered if I should have waited a little longer. I remember the first time I drove by the yard and watched her hanging out with the clan it struck me that she was “by herself”. I thought this stage was going to last longer…before others would have a greater influence on her than before and when I realize I have to slowly let go. At least I hoped it would last longer.

btw, your site looks great, and a perfect name change for it.
This is a really stunning picture you took of her. Do you adjust the image at all? What do you use, if you do?

Erin, I like your idea of being present for each and every moment. Robin, thank you, :-) Amber, I’m trying my best not to think of my child as being “a reflection” on her parents . . . even though in some ways she is and some people will think this irregardless of my and my husband’s approach to parenting (both of us trying to let her grow into herself and not pushing for her to become things that we want for her).

But I can't help feeling a little sorrow amongst my joy of watching him grow into this beautiful butterfly. Is this normal? I don't know. I can say I had no idea this life I brought into the world would bloom so quickly. But I am along for the ride no matter what with as few blinks of the eye as possible so as to not miss a moment.
