two.

today: white skies, walking in and out of rain, reading cather on the white couch, wet-winged birds, making plans.

one.

(i'm pretty sure someone abandoned this piano just for me.)

today: his favorite light, being productive, so much laughter about small things and exploring.

oh, dear.

i'm just awful at this!
and i had so much to tell you!

march was so delicate and wonderful:

- thrift store treasures in abundance
- peach tea (unapologetically replacing mint)
- overwhelmingly beautiful weather (this of course includes an unexpectedly delightful snow)
- meeting you and you and you
- spending so much time with precious littles
- creating light fixtures (this is my dream, folks. i think this could make me happy for the rest of my life)
- just spending time
- traveling westward of my state and having the most remarkable adventures...

i love tiny hands

and tiny toes, and small accidental smiles.
i am so glad to have had the most delightful introduction to my cousin's newest little!

this, is colton (at 7 days):

diamonds on the trees

and diamonds in my soul:

everything glimmered

outside, today. i am so thankful for weather like this,
which kindly causes me to forget for a short while that spring is still months away.
my sweet cousins came to play and it was the greatest fun:


i also wanted to tell you that i've recently joined felicia and other amazing photographers in the littlest heroes project. it's a non-profit organization, full of photographers wishing to gift families with forever-memories of their seriously ill child. if you know of someone who has (or you yourself have) a terminally ill child and would be interested in a session, please visit the website or email me: lesley[@]lesleykerrphotography[.]com. more soon!

love,
