AND let me drag her around in a ballet outfit! She also smiled the entire time and never once complained — well, maybe once, when we attempted to put her in a window of an old building that really was creepy!
I had been wanting to do some different ballerina pictures for quite some time and Alyssa was gracious enough to model for me. I was looking for something different, funky and fun — I think we achieved that. The fabulous shots in front of that blue door were a complete bonus!
Enjoy!

We are so excited to be offering this new style album for our seniors! This is a soft-cover book bound album made by Asukabook.
It has a fully printable cover with protective coating to preserve its appearance for years to come. The soft cover book features a white vellum sheet placed in front of the first printed page, and all pages are protected with a Varnish coating giving the pages a lustrous look and satiny feel. A frosted case is included allowing extra protection and easy portability.
Soon to come will be hard cover coffee table books for weddings and family sessions.

We will also be doing — A Dickens Christmas Carol. Unfortunately, dates have not been set. I am waiting on the caroler’s costumes to arrive before I set these dates.

I absolutely cannot wait to get my girls in these!!

Meet little Miss Gracie — isn’t she a cutie pie? You have got to love that curly hair! Mom has been wanting some pictures with flowers for most of the summer — but as most of you know — there aren’t that many choices this summer. I am so NOT going to tell you where Chris and Mom dragged this little cutie to get those pictures — I still can’t believe they actual did it — but, oh well.
I think Gracie deserves an extra special prize for doing these flower pictures. Chris said the bugs were horrible!
You know I have got to post more than this …
I wanted to cry when I saw these sweet pictures because they so remind me of my girls. We don’t always have to put our children in their best clothes and fix their hair just so for their portraits.
These are the pictures that melt your heart and bring all those memories rushing back because these images truly show your child. This is what she liked doing at this stage of life – dressing up, playing house, or pretending to be a fairy princess. I know my girls look like this just about everyday at home. They love their dress up clothes and pretending to be magic fairies.
Isn’t she beautiful? Check out those shoes –
Why not have some fun with your portraits? Go ahead and bring their finest clothes … but also do what this Mommy did … bring something with them that truly shows what they were doing at this age and stage of their life. Include their favorite toy or favorite outfit — or even better — let them pick out their clothes for one of their shots.
