The Bravery
Millie is getting much more ambitious with each trip we take to the playground. Her climbing and swinging and sliding skills show me that my hovering is stopping NOTHING.
For the first time, last Sunday, I stopped hovering to photograph her in her element and love what I came up with. I revisited some of the things I learned from my team leader, Greg Gibson, at Foundation Workshop and put them to use. I stopped being that scared mom and scared photographer, grew a pair, and “shot the dogsh*t out of it”. I found myself working every angle and capturing things I haven’t even imagined before. It was beautiful and I was smiling while I was doing it, knowing what I was doing. To capture that raw bravery that a 3 year old has on the playground was exhilarating, and I consider myself blessed to have been an attendee of FW7.
What a treasure for Bobby and me, as old-timers, to be able to look at these images and hear Millie’s laugh and see the outfit that she picked out for herself. I love her more than ever, as she becomes more and more her own brave little person, just like her mommy.
love that set of images kate… GREAT STUFF.
my only issue is that your hubby is a red sox fan… but at least he’s not a yankee fan
Excellent, Kate! Love how you explored the space.
she is just to darn cute…awesome pictures…you do great work!!!!
I love, love, love these pics! Millie is too precious!
Can I just say that I love Millie’s (or mommy’s) sense of style? She always looks so bohemian-fab. 
These are adorable!
Kate! These are beautiful and I particularly love the way you worked this scene. I can tell because I have been to a playground and you have found so many great ways to frame your daughter in this space and still capture her true joy for play. Great job!
these are lovely kate! very fun! great framing on these shots.
my faves is the black and white backlit one of millie looking into the camera. very stark and lovely dimension to it. she just pops out of that image.
Hi Kate, I love your brave images of your brave daughter. Your images convey to me, confidence and joy. Congratulations on your many blessings. Love, Amy
Love that bracelet, Mills!
Thanks, Kate, for brightening my day. These are great.
Refreshing set! great graphics - glad to see more results!
I’m nothing special sweetie - the real bravery is to be in the moment - just like your daughter!
Do that with the lens and the magic happens.
Oh Kate, I think I could her her laughing as I looked at this well composed, well framed images. What a delight to watch you grow and flourish. Love, love, love, Verna
