_
some of our ideas didn’t quite pan out but we ran with it
a little different a little fabulous is what i think
just a little sneak of our daydream mentoring session mini shoot….
i am honestly at a loss for words right now as my brain is mush and my heart is happy…
miss h was the perfect “snow white” a little more about that later and thanks to the most incredible friend and hair colorist jaci for introducing me to her…
stephanie and i had a full day and lots of TEX MEX, as she is not from texas so i had to get that girl some tex mex fo’ sho’! She came down as a part of the daydream one on one mentoring sessions i offer and we had a blast! she wanted to shoot a senior for her mini shoot choice and we went for it…with a touch of styling…
thanks to amanda kelly the most incredible makeup artist in the world
and jessica of the cotton exchange for assisting me on this super fun albeit a teeny tiny bit stressful day, hey anytime i drive downtown i get stressed, bwhahaha and jessica and her southern accent just calms my road rage
and last thank you to miss h and her mom, dad AND aunt for tagging along and being a part of this with us!!!!! y’all are beyond fabulous and i hope you enjoyed your escalante’s….FINALLY….
Holy cow she is pretty. You see snow white and I see Elizabeth Taylor eyes for sho!
Oh my goodness, I love all of these so much!
Holy Goodness these are BEAUTIFUL! With all the new Snow White movies released this is such a great inspiration. and I agree… traffic is so stressful for me… if you cannot describe directions in right and left… rather than north, south, east, or west…. i just get frazzled!
[...] can see several of our shoots on this blog but a few can be seen HERE and [...]
you might want to reread the post below as i finally wrote in it…although i didn’t take many pics at the beach this year i took the ones that mattered to me, i wanted one image that was so “her” and so “her” it seemed fitting to take them at almost the exact time in the evening and the opposite time in the morning…sigh…
so just one (again)
one, of my early bird…
my soon to be kindergartner….
standing on the brink, my first baby and my big girl
oh the experiences that lie ahead for her
…and for me…
she wakes up smiling (morning person IS her middle name haha)
this girl has a spark, definitely some drama (she gets that from me) but most of all she has the most beautiful inner light and strength
at 5 years old she has surpassed the dreams i have already had for her
and she makes me proud.
proud to be her mama
xoxo
Simply beautiful….words and photography!
This picture means even more with the explanation behind it. Amazing.
This so beautiful. My big Angel is so precious even when she is not looking directly at the camera. She is so perfect just like her mama
breath taking!
This is breath taking!! Simply stunning!! May I ask, what did you meter off and expose for?!
this one has some serious spunk
she is fearless and independent
and most definitely a night owl (just like her daddy mornings are NOT her fav part of the day)
in her eyes the world is full of possibilities and nothin’ but F-U-N, ha
in fact she has no idea how small she is in comparison.
she is growing up before my eyes
but as she always reminds me “she will always be my squishy”
i love her “all the way to jesus” to quote her
Hope you are getting tons of R&R! Love this picture of #2!
…she turns four…
