The Faires have landed

The wings and flowers party favors turned out so sweet for the 4 year party. And, Jossie just loved her party dress. More than anything. even the cake.

This was outside on the brick sidewalk.  Makes a nice backdrop. Plus the tatoo gives it a little edge.

Oh, emotions.

I LOVE this picture.  It so exactly captures both of them perfectly!

Indoors & Happy Birthday!

Today, there was sunshine indoors - and the little one found it by mischeviously climbing the stairs.  I now have indoor photos I almost really like.  One day...maybe a studio?

Then, it was birthday time!  Early evening light provided a shot or too before it got too dark.  Interesting to see the mood shift between early day photos and these.

Good focus and depth of field, I think.

I still love the little pebbles as a background.

And, then off to Amy's Ice Cream for "cake"!  I do love little twinkle lights!

Decisions, decisions.  I like the way the toppings line up in front of her.

Blowing out her "candle".  We had to improvise. 

Day 3. 
Another day at the park after school with friends.  I had a harder time choosing from these.  

I'm a sucker for girl shoe pics.

We could all use a little help.

Day Two
Took it outside to my daughter's school playground.  I have a feeling we'll see lots of photos with this backdrop.   

So typical of a 1 year old!

Such a typical happy expression.

My knees hurt on these rocks, Mom!

More at the park. 
These are not of my daughter, but of her best friend, who is beautiful and so photogenic especially when she's not even trying.

A true expression.

More bathtime photos.

I love the depth of field of this lens.

Day One

Bath time head shots.

First night with the camera! 

I am SO excited!! This is in bed with a little lamp light for reading. Very much my daughter, though.
