It all started when Grand-Ma-Ma bought our daughter, Riley, a really nice rocking horse for Christmas. Riley looks so cute on "Blaze". She hugs her and smiles all around her. And what do I do but suggest a cowboy hat for some photos. Only problem was when we got the hat, Lisa and I thought we would just go to the boot section of the store and have a look. Well, there they were the perfect matching boots and it didn't help that all who saw her stopped, stared, and commented on her cuteness. Riley loved her boots and even made extra steps to hear the clicking of her heels on the wooden floor. Okay maybe we'll buy big and she'll get extra use from them? Either way she wasn't taking them off that night. So we left the store now proud owners of a cowgirl hat and cowgirl boots.
Which leads me to today with the afternoon free and Riley happily awakening from her afternoon nap. We donned her new cowgirl garb and setup Blaze for some photos.
In less than 10 minutes we were satisfied with our little cowgirl's photos. I wish it was always that easy.
So as I edit the photos from the shoot, I then realized than I have become "that" parent. What next I ask? Bunnies? Fairies? And it was then that I thought that I am just a normal parent enjoying the gift of our precious little girl and soaking in every day of this experience...and it is okay to be "that" parent.

Randy,
Enjoyed visiting your site.
I googled low level aerial photography and came upon your site.
Appreciated your comments on how valuable your photojournalism experience was. I'm not quite as experienced, but have been the editor of a newspaper in NW Wis. for several years. I just purchased a 33-foot mast and cameras to try low-level photography as a hobby - maybe for hire, once I get comfortable with it.
Can you tell me if you've had much response to it - and what you might charge for an aerial photo? I'm trying to get an idea of how to proceed. If not, I understand.
Best wishes
