1 Year Old

(sigh), I cannot believe it, but my Sarah turned 1 in July. Ack! I took her to Sims Park (winner of the location contest....I told you I loved it!) for some pictures. Contrary to popular belief, she is *very* hard for me to photograph. She just sees mommy behind the camera, and doesn't particularly want to cooperate. So shooting her involves daddy and/or sister and/or any other body to be the 'parent', as I'm wearing my 'photographer' hat (not literally a hat, but that's not a bad idea....).

I know this dress is a little big, but I looooove it - the sweet smocking and embroidery, and most definitely the color. I had fun editing her session, I played around with all kinds of effects and textures. Some are obvious (naked by the river with her blue bow), and some are more subtle effects that change the overall feel and look of the image.

Hard to pick my top 5 (even harder to decide which one to use as a 16x20 on our wall)

How sweet. Great images for that age!

I love the one of her in her diaper. We should do one of the baby this way - if it is not too cold. Too cute!
