Well, it is very short to all of us but she is happy.  She has had it done for a few weeks but I finally got her to sit still long enough to have a few images done. It is wonderfully nice outside and there are other things to do…..like softball practice, talking on the phone with friends, playing with her dog, etc.  As it was, her hair was in a ponytail all day at school.  They had played outside and she had been running around all day.  No matter, once the camera was up in front of my face,  she turned into the model that she has always been.  Still the same adorable looks, still the beautiful eyes, still my heart. Sigh….always my heart.  Enjoy!

She has dimples to die for!  And those eyes… soft, sweet twinkling eyes.  I could not wait to edit her session and I was not disappointed. Enjoy!

Not real crazy about the vintage teacup though.  LOL!  Can you say….adorable?!  Enjoy!

Mr. “D” is one! http://www.shortstoriesphotography.com/blog/what-a-face-mr-d-is-one/ http://www.shortstoriesphotography.com/blog/what-a-face-mr-d-is-one/#comments Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:28:47 +0000 admin http://www.shortstoriesphotography.com/blog/?p=1325  

Mr. “D” was here for his one year old session.  His parents are going to have a hard time saying “no” to this face.  He has them all:  serious, surprised, happy, adorable, contemplative, and just plain precious! He was so happy to go along with anything that we wanted him to do.  I could share a ton, but for now, these few.  Enjoy!

I had “J” and her children here for the Mommy and Me session that is the special this month for Mother’s Day.  We all had such fun.  Miss “E” is so cute at posing and cuddling.  Mr. “B” is a little more serious and is a lot less giving with his adorable smiles, unless you threaten to come over and kiss him.  I love seeing how much children change, grow and develop their own versions of what they want to be.
