3 Girls & The Root Beer Stande | KE365 | Day 115

We headed down to our local Root Beer Stande for a nice lunch with my nieces for Day 115. Our family hasn't been there in years and the girls all had a blast for their first time.

Kailyn was being so sweet giving Natalie some hugs, it's really hard work having to find patience to wait for you root beer float!

Both images were shot at f/4.5.

Heaven for a Little Girl | KE365 | D74

Well... if you ever wanted to know what heaven for a little girl is, it has to be something like getting to play dress up in a bridal boutique. My good friend and owner of Athena's Bridal in Centerville was looking to do an ad for a bridal magazine and called to ask if Kailyn might like to model a flower girl dress and be in the shot. As soon as she heard she got to wear a "princess dress" she was ready to walk out the door and go pick one out at Athena's.

She was very opinionated in what dresses got picked and which ones she wanted to try on. Kailyn can be such a tomboy sometimes, but obviously she is also a girly girl at heart. Here she is trying out her 2 favorites.

She was dancing and twirling and singing to herself, admiring herself in the mirror. It was a riot. She is a lucky little girl.

This is my favorite one, I about passed out when the image popped up on my computer and I realized just how much my little baby is growing up. I appreciate every moment with her and I try to consider how quickly she grows with every stage so I can enjoy the most of it, but no matter what it still surprises me just how quickly it all flies by.

Catch up time again for my 365 posts, so thankful I have had time to shoot, read my manual and research everyday... but have needed to do several client projects that I put before catching up the posts.

For Day 32 my family went to a festival and little water park in Columbus. My daughter loves the time she spends with our family and lately she has gotten a couple of fantastic opportunities to play with her cousin Natalie who is a couple months younger. Since they are both two now they play so awesome together and are becoming such good friends. It was adorable to watch them go round and round holding hands. Kailyn was leading Natalie through the park, I would say probably pulling her at some points but she does mean well!

It is so important to build our little girls up, lift then up as high as you can. Little girls have the ability to change the world. I'm not sure what it is about little girls but they can bring a smile to any face, or somehow turn a bad day to good without even trying.

This one will definitely be hanging on my wall... and probably Kailyn's too!

The next image is from my mom who is also a photographer. I got a lot of my interest for photography from my mom and the countless images she took of me and my brothers and sister, and all our vacations.

Kailyn and her big cousin Siena taking a much earned and needed break. I love it!
