Last year I had the pleasure of photographing the E Family outside on a gorgeous summer morning. This year Dad is deployed in Kuwait, so we had a shoot with just us girls at the MLP Studio. And Miss E certainly came prepared! She had her favorite skirt, her cowboy boots and pink-trimmed cowboy hat, her sparkly teal top, and some of Dad’s army gear. Talk about a fun time playing dress-up:)
And just like last year I was struck by E’s gentle spirit and gorgeous smile. Her giggles absolutely made my day, and I loved hearing all about her favorite (horses) and not so favorite (taekwondo) things. She had the most perfect “cheese” smile – but I also loved shaking it up and making her REALLY smile for me (her little nose crinkle when she was really really grinning was the absolute best:).
I think it’s safe to say that from the top of her darling 7 year-old head all the way down to the tippy-tips of her cowboys boots, the camera (and this photog) looooove this sweet girl!
I can state with absolute certainty that there is nothing [nothing!] better for your soul than a daily dose of 100% Certified Organic Giggles & a handful of Gap-Tooth Grins.
(See you feel better already, don’t you?:)
A little proof positive that peek-a-boo never goes out of style.
Have you ever seen a more perfect cross-eyed tongue-out face?
I think not. :)
And here – here! – is the nose crinkle.
Exquisitely delicious, yes?:)
This one just stops my heart.
It stops right there in my chest with that wonderful-terrible combination of she’s-so-beautiful-it-almost-hurts and oh-baby-girl-I-know-you-and-Mommy-miss-Daddy—and-I-know-he-misses-you-too….
Knowing that these images will be making their way to Dad as he serves is pretty humbling. Luke – thank you seems very inadequate…but thank you, so much, for all that you and your family sacrifice for our country.
Of course we must end with a grin! And sweet E – you & your grin absolutely sparkle. It was my honor to photograph you again this year!
Faye & Miss E – you girls are tooooooo much fun! Thanks for an awesome session – I had a BLAST and I can’t wait to show you the rest of the pictures!!:)
