Springtime Childhood

I know it’s only mid-March and I’m rushing Springtime… but recent days in LA have been gorgeous breezy and sunny – just like Spring!  These shots from a recent kid’s shoot remind me of growing up in NJ and all the awesomeness of the different seasons… when glorious Spring arrived, there was nothing better than being outside on a windy day and playing in your backyard.

Here are a few of my favorite childhood moments in Springtime…  scootin’ around and sporting your favorite boots!…

Laying in the grass… just happy to be outside…

Smelling flowers…

Oh, the excitement and anticipation of getting ready to climb a tree!…

And the fear and the thrill of it!…

Pausing for a snack of raisins…

The wind blowing…

…and being young enough to sport polka dot underwear and a ponytail…

I hope Springtime hurries to your neighborhood soon 🙂 and you take time to bask in the wonderful everyday moments even if you’re a big old grown-up.
