the playdate [chapel hill fine art children’s photographer]

I love the story these images tell. . . the story of a magical play-date Sadie Ellen had with one of her preschool buddies at the arboretum.   We had a surprise tea party with dress-up clothes for afterwards, and it was just one of those absolutely perfect afternoons.   After sipping lots of lemonade, they slipped on all different kinds of dress-up concoctions, and they ran, they flew, they danced, they fell.   And they laughed and laughed and laughed.  The magic of childhood was everywhere, and I think we will all remember that day forever.

We served pink lemonade, so pretty much every single photo at the tea party goes something like this. . . (bottom’s up lol):

And then after exploring the arboretum, they ended with a game of hide and seek.

Sigh.  What a special day.  When were walking back to the car, I asked Sadie Ellen what her favorite part of the afternoon was.  I actually half-expected her answer to be:  “the lemonade”  lol.   But instead, she twirled around, looked up to the sky, and answered:  “Twirling around with my friend!!”   I could feel her soaring and my heart soared with her.   What a gift.

Namaste friends ~  Kathleen
