Think back to when you were a little kid. Really little. Do you remember how you felt when you got a fancy new outfit for a big event? Do you remember spinning around and around until you were so dizzy the entire room spun circles once you stopped; all because that new skirt was so perfectly twirly? I was always a shoe girl. The memories are fading a bit, but I still remember the ride to the shoe store as a little kid. I was always on my best behavior because there was NO way I was going to risk the possibility of leaving that store without a new pair of fancy dress shoes. I loved the smell of the shoe store: new leather and cardboard. I would suffer the pinching and scraping of an ill-fitting pair if they were beautiful. I’d smile and nod and tell my mom they were just perfect. Today, I let my little girls try on the dress clothes they’ll be wearing to an event this weekend. Their eyes lit up. There were smiles. There was much twirling. There was tap dancing across the floor in brand new Mary Janes. I wish I still got excited over something so small. Like dandelions. Weeds. Pests. Things that need to be pulled and destroyed. To my girls though, they may as well be roses. They pick them by the handful and when they wilt and bend over the side of the Mason jar, they pick me more. They love the sunny yellow petals and are so proud when they bring new a new bunch. Today, I looked at one very closely. You know what? Those dang weeds are actually beautiful when you look at the little details that are so easily overlooked.
Now, please keep clicking through our circle and visit Jen Reif Photography! She’s pretty amazing.

Gosh, your girls are so extremely lucky to have their love and connection documented in such a lovely way, Amber. Your work… I really really can’t explain to you how much I just adore your work. I feel like a broken record every time I leave you a blog comment. You have a gift that simply can’t be taught. Sigh…. And your love for your girls is palpable in these pictures. Even though you’re not in a single one. I can tell these pictures were shot with smiling, deep, mommy love in your heart. Perfect.
simply gorgeous. Love the shots of your girls and how perfectly your detail shots fill out the story. You should make an album out of your life stories collages!! Every thing you do is magic, especially the way you document your kids….
I love the stories you tell about your girls – I can totally tell how much you love them. These are amazing.
Love. Love. Love. Sigh. Isn’t it awesome how little girls can make dandelions more beautiful than the rarest orchid? You create such magic when you photograph your girls! I wish you would do a life story every week, you are so inspiring!
