Today I had her one-year-old session! Can I hear a collective "aww" and and exasperating "where does the time go?"
Here are some sneak peeks for mom who braved the uncertain but ultimately wonderful weather this afternoon, and a few fun outtakes as well. I've often considered putting outtakes on the blog for fun, and today I couldn't resist!
Here's Miss E. As always, her little faces crack me up! Click to see these larger and--hint hint--just a few more days and I won't need to type that anymore. ; )
One of the first shots of the session . . . how lovely of the flowers to coordinate with our wardrobe plans!
Then, a little snack at a fine restaurant, where dandelion greens adorn each dish. The scent draws you in . . . 
and, well, you *are* feeling a wee bit peckish come to think about it . . .
but alas, the flavor--and especially texture--leaves something to be desired.
Then, you know that I had to incorporate the quickly waning (sob!) cherry blossoms.
and one more . . . I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!
what can I say?
UNBELIEVABLE

Unbelievable is right. These are amazing. And I will give you a big old "Where does the time go?!"
The one in the cherry blossoms is just amazing.

That 2nd to the last one is so amazing Joyce. Either that is one big dandelion or she is so cute & petite.

who would have thought a simple dandelion would prompt such wonderful images of an adorable baby?

I adore the dandelion images- you can just see it coming :)
The cherry blossom image is so bright and vibrant- such a beautiful image! And in the crawling one I love her curious expression.

I love love your color! I also love how the color in her outfit matches the cherry blossoms! You have such a great eye!

WHat a fun series! Love her sweet expressions.

Time sure does fly doesn't it! These are all beautiful, but the one where she is puckered up from "tasting" the dandelion fluff made me laugh outloud!
Posted by: Mary Beth | April 30, 2008 at 12:28 PM
oh my! How can she be so big already?! Darling little thing. As always, your color is scrumptious. The cherry blossom image is just super fabulous! Lovely work!!
