san diego photographer | 26 on fridays | week 4
It’s project day!!! The theme for our 26 Week Photography Project this time around around is/was “Once Upon a Time”. I had a couple of ideas for this theme, but was rained out on one of them. When thinking about this theme, my mind automatically kept going to a dreamy image of a child engrossed in a make-believe book of some kind. Being a young girl and reading those “Once Upon a Time” books are such a great part of childhood and the dreams of what she will become one day.
I was an AVID reader at my daughter’s age and can remember reading whenever I got the chance (since we had really had no electronic devices way back yonder. . .those were the days). I stopped reading a lot of books after I had kids, but have recently gotten into a book club with some good friends of mine. It has helped re-introduce me to my love of reading which rocks. I adore how immersing yourself in a book can take you right out of reality and put you in a whole different world. On a side note, I read a book recently called “Night Road” by Kristin Hannah and sobbed! My husband looked at me kind of funny, but it was a great book.
Anywhooooo, here is the image I took for this week!!!! I love how everything is green in our yard right now and I am always a huge fan of hazy back-light so I decided to create an image of my daughter reading one of her books about fairies.
Head on over to the talented Jules Tandem | San Diego Child and Family Photographer to see her take on “Once Upon a Time”.

Love the lighting here. Sweet image of your daughter reading. beautiful work!
perfectly dreamy! love your light and your story!

That’s a beautiful shot Kristin. Night Road is definitely a nice book. The cover is outstanding and very beautiful. Every character on the book is interesting. This book sends lots of great messages forgiveness, acceptance, loss and love (and much more)
