Before I was a photographer and before I had children, I worked in the book industry. Working one year at Ingram Book Group gave me the chance to see movies before they would come out in theaters. I was able to a "rough cut" of the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. As soon as I saw the little girl who was cast as "Lucy" I could not help but think that if I ever had a little girl that she would look a lot like her. There was something about her that felt like a glimpse into my future. And was I ever right?! Bella just got her hair cut (not intentionally) like Lucy's in the movie and I knew I had to photograph her in the long fur coat in the snow yesterday. It literally gave me chills as I looked out at my daughter almost 11 years later standing before me looking exactly like that little girl I saw on the screen.

And side note, who can believe the snow Nashville is getting this year?! I am not a huge winter/snow fan so I am a bit ready for Spring. But trying to be grateful for these moments with my little ones because I know someday I will wish I was stuck in a house with them when they are grown and moved away. It's all about perspective, right? Oh and also a good bottle of wine.
