As I'm beginning my freelance photography profession, I've been taking a few photoshoots for people wanting holiday photos. I actually have 3 photoshoots "booked" right now which is rather exciting.
Well, today I did a free photoshoot, as it was more for me. I really wanted photos of these two people because they mean so much to me. So, the three of us went to the beach/park and shot a few photos.
Memaw & Papa

I just love it. I love it sooooo much I can't even explain. I'm going to print a few and frame them for myself and my grandparents. I took quite a few different shots but this is by far my favorite. I love how you can feel/see the love between them, the smiles on their faces, him embracing my grandmother, etc, etc.
Afterwards, they came back to my place and I made dinner (Papa requested ham, mashed potatoes, and green beans. I also made chocolate chip cookies with icecream and hot fudge for dessert.)
Papa is doing a bit better for those who have followed his story. He is allowed to go on day visits away from the mental hospital/home. He's still not himself but he is a lot better than he was the past few months. He is behaving when on his visits. He started crying on Saturday (last time I saw him) but today he didn't cry at all. :)
We are hoping he will be able to return home for good on December 1st. He WILL be able to spend Thanksgiving with us. :)
