Mirror, mirror, on the wall...

Shot for the challenge of "cute". Now, you KNOW I had to use Miss Hannah for this one. Coincidentally, she's just discovered her reflection...also her shadow, but I'll save that for another day. I caught her admiring herself the other day and just HAD to capture it. Clearly, she thinks she's adorable...and I do too!

Which version do you prefer?

All lit up...

Shot for the challenge of "all lit up"...lol. Couldn't come up with a different title. I REALLY REALLY enjoy shooting by candlelight. I think it's magical. I need to do this more often. These were my 2 faves...Same set up, but different points of view.


You won't want to know how many matches I had to light to get the timing right on this last one. Lol. I nearly set off the smoke detector! I think this one could make a nice Christmas card.

Little acrorn...

Shot for the challenge "path". I cannot seem to stay out of my neighbor Robin's yard! I love the light there in the morning! lol. Thankfully, she's given me permission. This looks like an autumn shot, right? We have at least 2 more months before autumn...those dead leaves bear witness to the toll this heat wave is taking on our plants. At this point, I'm wondering if it will ever end.

I do my best thinkin' with my finger in my mouth...

Seeing a lot more of that while she cuts that last 2 yr. molar. The other 3 were no problem, but this one is stubborn. :)

Drum roll please....

For those of you who may not have heard yet...

It's a girl! Excited that Nathan let us find out sono results earlier this time...and excited that Hannah's little smocked dresses can be used again. :)

Up close and personal...

Shot for the challenge of "close". Thanks to my sweet model, Julia, who was willing to try whatever I asked of her. She's left for college now and I miss her already! I love how this high key b/w turned out...all mysterious.

Tea time...

Shot for the challenge of silver. I know it bothers mom that I don't use this silver tea service....so at least I took a pretty picture of it! :) I do love how this came out with the vintage tones. Hope you like it Mom!
