photo dump.

CAUTION: this picture post is borderline obscene... it's the direct result of me not uploading my memory card in a timely manner. I know  I keep mentioning that I really REALLY need to stop relying on my handy dandy iPhone and Lumix point & shoot and start practicing / playing around with my Pentax DSLR, but this time I mean it. I just HAVE to get better so I can start photographing some of my fun ideas like this stylized camping shoot I dreamt up for Lindsay Gee's très exciting contest happening NOW! I need a mentor; any Okanagan photogs out there wanting a pet project named ME? 

Anyways my feelings won't be hurt - although Saige's may be - if you don't scroll down any further {consider yourselves warned}...   

Gramma brought over matching monster jammies!

basking in books & {sun}beams

Saiger's first, but definitely not last, horse lesson courtesy of Mrs. Burr-esque. Trev went an interesting shade of white when I told him how much Saige LOVED riding Ginger - as a previous 4-H Club member he is no stranger to the dollar signs that accompany pony ownership.

The Bobs & Lolo concert that had Miss Saige screaming for joy {on the inside}. She hides her excitement well - a little too well - her "I could care less" body posture may have caught the Juno nominated pair off guard ... she'll make one heck of a poker player. 

We FINALLY found cleats to fit her size 7 feet and now she refuses to take them off. How did my daughter end up loving soccer? Running, hot sun, all feet no hands = no thank you. I swear she's a mini-Sasha.

You may have seen this one already if you follow me on instagram @saigewisdom but when Saige flipped me the 'peace sign' as I attempted snap some photos of her in her sunnies I almost died... who taught her this? reveal yourself! 

who knew my road building skills would amount to hours of entertainment?

there's a reason our 3 year old is outside in her bathing suit huddled on a DISGUSTING dog mat {promise} but does anyone want to venture a guess before I explain?

the length of her hair is getting totally unrealz.

Someone has started posing for the camera which makes me think this Gap Casting Call email may be worth entering? GAP GiftCards ranging from $500-$1000 are up for grabs and we all know how much I love their online shop.

If you made it to the end... congratulations!
