Little Ladies

I first photographed Miss E in November 2007 - almost two years later she has lost two front teeth and gained a little sister!

Both Miss E and little Miss K were a delight to spend the morning with! I am blessed to have a girl, but her girliness is tempered by the all out rambunctious, dirty boyness of her brother (yes, I know "boyness" is not a word) - so it was most pleasant to have a truly girly morning with matching frocks, flowers and caterpillars (because we can't all be little ladies all the time - especially when there is a whole wide world to explore!).

Thank you Erica for letting me capture all this pretty sweetness again!


I love it when they laugh at my jokes/silliness - it makes me feel almost normal! I love the genuine smiles even more though!

Mind the gap! Miss E was so proud of her missing teeth and I was regaled with stories of triumphant removal and treated to a tour of ever more loose ones. So stinkin' cute!

Six is a such a great age. There is so much silliness, laughter and simultaneous brevity in each breath. At six kids are having real conversations and showing you who they will become and yet any mention of underwear causes convulsions. It's a great age and I love this image because I think this look heralds a great six year-old thought or question, like "If heaven is up, why do we bury people in the ground?"

Gotta love Indiana for the Queen Anne's lace that is everywhere. It's just so pretty.

A girl after my own heart! Pretty in lavender, hair in a bow and a caterpillar for amusement - a furry one no less!

Miss K - I just love your blue eyes!

I love this look - "I'm not so sure about the crazy lady with the camera, but these flowers that she gave me are pretty cool."


"Okay - I'm getting sleepy now!"

I'm one and I will eat my hand if I want to! Don't I look just darling doing it?

Ha! Watch me grab my sister - everyone will think it's so cute!

Gorgeous! How cool would this be in a big gallery wrap? Too cool!

I bet I can pull all these flowers out, so capture my adorable cuteness while you can! Score! Such pretty little ladies.
