Happy Birthday USA!

Happy 4th of July. Wanted to share a conversation I had earlier today with my 5 year old.

L: Mommy, tomorrow is America's birthday. Who gets presents?
Me: No one gets presents. It's just a time to celebrate our country and be with family.
L: Someone HAS to get presents. It's a birthday.
Me: Well I think the parades, parties and fireworks are like presents. They are fun, right?
L: Does Washington D.C. get a present? Or the president?
Me: No.
L: I think someone should get presents. It's a birthday and you need to unwrap something. Mommy where you there when America was born? Did they have presents back then?
Me: I think Daddy was there, ask him.

=)

Speaking of birthdays I had a session with a newly one year old! He was a trooper though I couldn't compete with the ducks running wild around us. As an on location photographer I am used to making the most of my backgrounds but I've never had a problem keeping ducks out of photos.

Exhibit A: Duck in backgound.




Enjoy your sneak peek! Thanks.
