Marley’s Three Favorite Things
When you look at this picture, what do you see?
Probably not much unless you know this child and know what her three favorite things in this world are (besides her mom, dad and sister of course!).
This is an image of one of my twin daughters that I captured the other night as we were taking a walk before bedtime. I was reluctant to let her out of the house dressed like this but figured it shouldn’t be a big deal since we just moved and I don’t know anyone in our new neighborhood. LOL
As I always tell my clients, photography is art and art is subjective. Most people will look at this image and think nothing much of it. But to me, this image is ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS! Yes, I know her head is cropped out of the picture…but don’t worry, I have plenty images with her head in it. What this image preserves for us is Marley’s three all-time favorite things - at least right now at 2 and 1/2 years old). These things bring her so much joy and when I look at this picture, it just makes my heart smile to think about this precious time of her life!!!
1) Her beloved pink dog. She has had it since she was a newborn and is so in love with it. She treats it like her baby. Sleeps with it and carries it around all day. Tries to dress it the same why her sister dresses baby dolls. Marley used to chew on the nose and carry it around in her mouth that way. This poor little doggie has gotten so much abuse but oh so much love!
2) A hand-me-down, blue Cinderella nightgown/dress. Marley loves princess everything! When you talk with her, the first thing she will tell you is that she is a princess. At first, it was Snow White because it was the first “dress up” princess dress she ever put on (and Macey is Belle - which she says Bella!). But after watching the Cinderella movie a few times, she wants to be Cinderella. I believe it was my friend Lisa G. that gave me these princess clothes and this Cinderella nightgown that Marley can’t stop wearing. I kid you not - anytime we are home you can count on Marley to be wearing this dress. Even when I put clothes on her, she takes them off and puts this dress on. I’ve already sewn it a few times and it has a big rip up the side but she doesn’t mind one single bit because in it, she feels like a princess!
3) Pink glitter, princess glass slippers. That is what we call them anyway. I bought these at Target because I really didn’t want her to wear the cheap, plastic princess shoes because like the Cinderella princess dress, she was wearing the glass slippers every single minute of the day when we were home and I was afraid they would hurt her feet. So I got these ”new glass slippers” to replace the other kind. You should see her prance around in these things…and do the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse “Hot Dog” Dance in them. She is hilarious! She has scuffed them up so I took a pink highlighter to them. I’m trying to find addition pairs in bigger sizes because I don’t know what is going to happen when she outgrowns them.
So that is a little insight on one of my little girls. My next post will be about her sister’s like quirks, honest sweetness and absolutely complete different personality! I thank God for given us two different children because I seriously don’t know if I could handle both of them being the exact same!!! LOL
Have a good weekend! - Wendy
