Last night Melanie and I stayed up to watch Pride and Prejudice–a movie I never thought I’d get sucked into watching. Any movie that takes place 100+ years ago in England that has to be on 2 separate discs because of its length is not my style. However, she had just finished watching the 6-hour film a couple days earlier and insisted that I’d love it…so, I gave in and it’s actually quite enjoyable and entertaining.
In the middle of watching the movie, Catherine came out to see what we were up to. It was late and she should have been sleeping. We decided to just let her stay up and watch the movie with us. I was holding the baby, rocking in the recliner and she was standing to my left intently watching the film. I looked at her and instantly noticed the way the light hit her face from the TV. It was beautiful; my little angel so innocently watching the movie, probably trying to figure out what was happening and why they were talking so funny. I got my camera and snapped off a couple shots without her noticing too much. I love capturing these kinds of moments. The following popped into my head as I watched her:
I’ve got an angel
She doesn’t wear any wings
She wears a heart that can melt my own
She wears a smile that can make me wanna sing
-Jack Johnson
Here’s my favorite. This is how I saw the moment, this is how I captured it…no editing, no enhancements, just life.
My favorite!
