David and I were headed to bed around midnight last night and just as we were about to go upstairs, this is what we find.

She knows to stay in bed. She knows this. But she so desperately wants to hang out with us late at night. So this is Claire’s way of finding a happy medium. She can be kind of close, kind of able to hear us … kind of like she’s hanging out with us in a way, right? And yet, we have no clue. So she doesn’t get in trouble.

Brilliant, really.

And makes for a nice picture that will become a classic in her childhood. This is sooo her. Are you taking pictures of your loved ones that truly tell a story? I’m not talking about the posed, smiley type of pictures. (Although those are nice too.)

As for the end-result here … yes, it’s a vertical photo presented in a horizontal orientation for my Project 365. This is how I choose to display my vertical photos in the horizontal pockets most of the time. (I take mostly horizontal pictures, like most of you.) I did this in Photoshop. Quick stuff. Colored background. Cropped & resized the picture. Dropped it on the canvas. Added a border, drop shadow, and some text. Done.

PS – If you’re in a soupy kind of mood, I posted a new recipe.
