this one was mom’s idea

she saw it in a catalog and wanted to try it. it's perfect in every way. the color was fantastic that day. at hermann again under the oaks... i haven't seen this "A" since she was one. I remembered her b/c when she got out of the car, she BOLTED and never stopped the entire shoot! It was totally cracking me (and giving me a workout!?) just b/c I've had more boys do that and she was just at a year. Fast forward 3 years and she's still an active one, as seen in the tree =)

more at hermann... the speller family had THE cutest little girl with freckles.. ok, I'm a little partial =) But she had this personality and charm that lit up the camera. and I love this one with her dog. and look what I found! man, we tiger fans are everywhere! ha ha.. and the front view =) a favorite of she and mom it was great meeting you guys! hopefully we'll have a lot to celebrate the rest of this year -

you might recognize this beautiful family (williams). Mom always has them dressed to the nines, and of course, I love photographing these beautiful girls! "l" might have been 1 when I first photographed her. isn't she adorable!? and miss "a".. growing into such a beautiful big girl. with dad, who is SO outnumbered!

thanks, jill again for entrusting your girls to me. it was a pleasure, as always!

I also met some new friends that day at Hermann. the mermis family helping out their almost-walker (he might even be walking as I type this!) and a close look at their handsome fella and last but not least, the beautiful zenners. I took her sister's pics a few weeks ago, so it was fun to finally meet her and her little angel.

ok - i still have 2 dozen pics to blog, but I'm getting closer to catching up!

thanks so much for looking, and leave a comment or 2 so i can feel the love! I had 280 people looking at my blog yesterday. who are you?? =)
