As real as it gets {Southern Maine Photographer}

Good Morning Maine!!! This is how it looked a few days ago on a warmer morning after the snow. It was foggy and the sun was trying so hard to burn it off....it was pretty and actually warranted me turning back for my camera to grab these shots. They are taken just at the end of my driveway.

Since I always post the smiley, happy side of Marleigh on my blog, this time I had to post the opposite today. I would never have taken these photos if she was in pain from injury. Follow the story in the photo and look at her hand......

You see, my little girl is trying very hard to grow up. She wakes every morning and primps in the mirror, brushing her own hair and dressing herself in a style all her own. While working yesterday morning, I heard Marleigh in the bathroom getting frustrated with something. I didn't get up to see the problem, only asked if I could help. At first there was hesitation and then she walked through my door. She'd been crying quietly but when I spoke to her, she sobbed stating "yes, I need help".

I'm not one bit sorry that I grabbed my camera......as a mom, these photos are wall-worthy and capture her sweetness through tears and I can live with that knowing she's not in pain in them, only frustrated with her attempts.

It was intertwined pretty good but I patiently picked the pieces out and offered her the brush to put in the trash! We never use that brush in this house......and this is why......

I'm so glad its Saturday.......

Enjoy!
