downtown

It’s been too long since I’ve taken my biggest girl out for a photo shoot.

Like almost a year, y’all.

Thankfully, she’s not too old to bribe, and the offer of a free lunch was enough to get her to commit to being my muse for the afternoon.

Of course I could have just asked and she *might* have agreed, without additional compensation (beyond my stellar company, of course).

But lunch out with my biggest baby sounded pretty good to me, too.

So we headed downtown.

We sat at a sidewalk cafe and shared a basket of onion rings and a sandwich.

Then we walked out to explore downtown Birmingham.

Oh, and get some pictures.

I’m happy to say, we accomplished everything we set out to do.

And then some.

Because – despite a run in with an occasionally incompetent photographer (me), a pile of poo (not me) and a curious pigeon – we had a whole lot of laughs.

Any time you want your picture taken, Victoria, lunch is on me.
