Confession time.

Sometimes I forget to take pictures of important days with my kiddo.

For example, I have a single (crappy) cell photo picture from Ellie’s first Thanksgiving. I was busy cooking and chatting and never remember to pick my camera up for documentation, not to mention her baby book which is now doomed to have a very unfortunate Thanksgiving page.

Mom fail.

Fourth of July though? NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

I took my baby girl outside in front of a friend’s house where we were going to do some fireworks as soon as it got dark. Proof right here that you don’t need a stellar location or ideal setting for awesome pics of your kids.
