turning ONE (in pink)

Had a shoot on Saturday for little Miss J, who recently turned one. A big deal indeed. Both she and her big sister were dressed to the 9’s and very, very pink. Which made me happy as I loved the dresses, plus the fact that there WERE dresses. I don’t get that much around here.

Both girls had some pretty bad colds, so all things considered I think we did pretty well. We had already rescheduled the shoot once about 2 weeks prior and the poor kids were still sick. Poor mom was on tissue duty/snot patrol with the baby, and I had her running.

The cake shots were my favorite to take- that little girl LOVED her cake! She just dug right in, sticking her hands in first, then her whole face- right in. And when the cake portion was done according to mom, she really freaked out that someone was taking her cake away. Really. freaked. Needed a video camera for that one as she started grabbing for the cake with both hands and looking at her mom like she was nuts. Taking the cake away- not happy.

I sorta snuck my way upstairs to the girls very pink room against mom’s wishes, but in the end I think she was happy we were up there. It was almost pink overload, but it was so different for me and I liked it. Girls are fun.Img_0009pr Img_0044sl Img_0108sl Img_0119sl Img_0130cbw Img_0215sl Img_0229sl Img_0253sl Img_0180sl Img_0221sl
