Pixie and a state of Bliss

I am so pleased with the photograph of Pixie and myself that my husband Nat Clymer took on a cold wintry day in February. I had just begun blogging and he suggested personalizing the blog with a photograph. Truthfully, I have a very hard time having photos taken of me because I tense up and generally don't feel very relaxed in the process. So yet again my husband Nat is asked to take the perfect picture of me and Pixie. I am very sure that I put much too much pressure on him and myself during these photo sessions.
However it was Pixie to the rescue. I did my usual fake smiling trying not to let too many teeth show in my smile or too many wrinkles around my eyes. Pixie wanted none of it. She does not like having her photo taken and really does it because she loves me . However if given the chance, she will face the camera with her back to you. So you get the picture, she and I are struggling in our separate ways. It is not working out too well and I am forcing her to be close so that we can get this over with.
Then I realized that I am being so unfair and controlling and why would I want to make Pixie do what she does not want to do. I stopped using my arms to guide her and I just planted a kiss on her head. Wow what a difference. She stopped resisting me, I stopped resisting the camera and Nat and an amazing photo was born.
We both entered the moment and a state of bliss. Thank you Pixie and Nat.
