Sweet Snuggly Sick Day by alophoto

Sweet Snuggly Sick Day

Clara and I had a sweet time yesterday. The night before she had gotten sick and yesterday we took as a somewhat down day. Though she was really pretty well. Some of the day was still spent playing outdoors with her siblings in the gorgeous sunshine. I called them all in for a break and told her I wanted her to try to nap. She did, woke up groggy and she and I spent an hour or so reading a stack of books and cuddled up on the couch.

These cuddly times are getting less and less frequent and I admit a bit of my heart breaks missing them. LOVED our snuggle yesterday.

Today, she goes back to school. Can you believe this girl is almost 7?! She was 2 when I started this project. And my son turns 11 next week. Wow.
i agree with missing the snuggles...my favorite part of nanna-hood...and motherhood...lovely capture...hope she's better soon

I know exactly what you mean about those few and far between snuggles, with my own 7 year old. What a sweet portrait!

Ah, you'll still get snuggles as they get older - it's just different. Lovely portrait of your little girl.

pretty sweet portrait for someone not feeling too well...love the emotion in the eyes and the set of the mouth...has her mom's ability to emote!

I can really see you in her in this shot. So odd to see her without her tradmark ear to ear smile though

Instant fav. This is the best portrait you have taken, perfect.

@soboy5 Thanks, Danny. I loved it. No flash either, just natural light. Can't wait one day to get an external flash and a reflector. Better gear for portraits.
