Sunday driven
Tuesday, May 9, 2017 at 01:44PM 
I'm working on a photography project that involves getting certain shots of certain people.
And even more shots of certain people together.
You might say I'm driven. The project has been in the works for a while. I long for completion.
So I asked Erica if she'd come over to the house after church last Sunday evening, during the golden hour, so that we could take advantage of the gorgeous weather and perfect light.
Dagny was involved too. Audrey agreed to produce her daughter on location at the same time.
Naturally everything's more fun when Dagny enters the mix. It's true that children keep you young.
Exhausted and frustrated too (sometimes), but definitely young. Young and hopeful and full of laughter.
My youngest granddaughter wore a black dress and pearls for this shoot. What else?
Before getting down to the business at hand, she begged to drive with Papaw, who was putting the car away.
She hopped in and they left together, with Dagny sitting on TG's lap in the driver's seat.
Don't judge. They drove around the block. Top speed: ten. Our neighborhood is nothing if not quiet.
Dagny couldn't have been more thrilled if her mother had told her she could have ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a week.
When they got back and Papaw had changed clothes, more shenanigans ensued.
Dagny trusts the strong arms of her grandfather. She's got faith in his love and she knows he'll never hurt her or let her down in any way.
From earliest babyhood when Dagny watched hours upon hours of Baby Einstein videos, she will put her arms up over her head when we say "Reach!"
Then came a short session of Dagny and Papaw sharing hugs. I'm pretty sure Dagny has had millions of hugs and kisses since her birth.
And she's just getting started.
It's all good.
Eventually we got down to the business of taking pictures of Dagny with her beloved Aunt Erica. Those two have a special relationship.
I wanted to capture it in a picture, as much as that can be done.
Along with devoted parents and grandparents, adoring aunts and uncles can be among the best parts of a childhood.
Dagny's rich in that regard.
She and her cousins return happiness tenfold for all the love they're given. Kids are great. My grandkids? Grander than grand.
Meanwhile, the project continues. Stay tuned for shots of all four of my grandchildren. Alone, and together. I'm driven to make it happen.
And that is all for now.

She is a precious girl and I just have to ask--does Papaw have an older brother, who is single. Papaw is one gorgeous Papaw!!!
@Judy ... I hear you! He's a looker. For me, over 40 years ago, it was love at first sight. Alas however, the (similarly beautiful) brother is younger and very much married! xoxo
I think you've done a great job in these photos in showing the love surrounding Dagny. I'm sure the photos of the other three will show the same. All 4 are blessed to have been born into this family! I can't wait to see more!
You have a beautiful family, Jenny, and well, that Dagny.....she takes the cake! Superb photography!
Yes indeed, little Dagny is rich in love from so many people in her life. She's such a precious little girl, and she's growing up right in front of our eyes from far away. Thank you, Jennny for sharing your family with us; looking forward to more. :)
xoxo
