Ing got a little play time with her pal Violet before she modeled for us.
Derek set everything up in Ingrid's room.
And he got some great shots. I love how the black and whites turned out.
I love looking at all the different photo shoots we've done with Ingrid to see how much she's changed. Now that she can sit up she looks so much older. I was worried during the first part of the shoot that she would topple over and knock her brains out. But I got over it. I've never been much of a worrier. I've always made a conscious effort not to worry. But I can see that it is going to be much harder now that I'm a parent. I read something in my devotional last night that I thought was worth sharing. It comes from Stormie Omartian's A Book Of Prayer. It said, "Help me not to live in fear of possible dangers, but in the joy and peace of knowing that You are in control." A good phrase to remember in the coming months and years!
Ing says, "Thanks for taking pics of me daddy. Love you!"
so, i should brand that prayer on my arm. thanks for sharing. i always have admired your stance on worrying and how amazingly calm you present yourself. ing is a lucky gal to have you as an example. these shots are simply gorgeous. you are right--the black and white ones turned out beautifully. it was fun to see the master at work too--it always is :) love you.
ReplyDeleteLove that line from your devotional. I will be keeping it on the forefront of my mind (or trying to) as we push on with the job search. GREAT pictures of Ing. She is so lucky to have such talented parents who are taking such care in documenting her early days. As per usual, I love the outfit. :0)
ReplyDeleteLove the behind the scenes shots :) And ohhhh that precious little doll, what a sweetheart! I dreamed about her last night - missing you, Mary Beth & Maelea I guess. Can't wait for the day we will all be CLOSE by.
ReplyDeleteHope this summer all you kids & your kids can get together & us grandparents can beam with pride :)
Love you All!

ReplyDeleteYou have always been laid back. I am sure Ingrid will be the same,great ability to have. Such love in the eyes of Derek for his little girl.
Love the quote from your devotional..such a good reminder for several situations for us right now! Ingrid's pictures are wonderful! I love seeing her little personality in the black and white photos.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the curtains in her room?
