I'm getting there...

I have finally finished making her shirt, I have made a headband to go with it and now I know how I'm going to do her hair.   My only last decision is where to take the darn pictures.  Am I sounding a little crazy?  Okay, I know I am, but when I'm the photographer, I can take my time and plan it out perfectly, right?  I remember stressing just about as much when I would take my kids into Kiddie Kandids (I cringe as I say their name).  So, for now cause this one is for a project I'm doing and because I think this cute little face of hers, is her to a tee... I'll share one.  P.S.  Thanks again Miss A !!


I also love this one of her...

Trying something new...

Brooke's third birthday was a few weeks ago and I haven't gotten around to taking her birthday pictures just yet.  I've been trying to come up with something fun, cute, different and age appropriate for her.  I haven't had any amazing ideas come my way.  To be completely honest, I am so sad about her hair, I could cry.  She was not blessed in that department, that's for sure.  To those of you who think, that is terrible to say, trust me you'd understand if you saw her hair up close and you had friends like I do with three year olds that have INCREDIBLE hair (I won't mention names, you know who you are and I'm envious).  In any case, I cringe when it comes time to do her hair.  There just isn't ANYTHING I can do.  So my mission has been to come up with a way to make her hair look as cute as she is.  Awhile back, a client of mine had four girls and their hair was in perfect ringlets.  WOW, I thought, she must have spent HOURS curling their hair for pictures.  She mentioned to me that it was incredibly simple and there was a keyosk in the Fashion Place mall that sold these curling irons.  So, remembering that, I decided to check it out.  I came home with one, if that tells you anything.  I thought she looked so cute with curls.  Something I thought I'd NEVER seen in her hair last for more than two seconds.  Today, I gave it a try... how would it look?
  I asked her so kindly, "Can I please take a picture of your curls?"  I'm sure you could guess her response from this picture!  And trust me this is all I got.  What do you think?
