{The one} with the soul…

I have been photographing Miss L since she was a newborn, and I swear she gets more beautiful each time I see her! She is truly growing up to be such a beautiful young girl- polite, funny, energetic, and sweet {like candy sweet}! But, I think my favorite thing about this little girl is her eyes. Her poor mom gets so frustrated whenever we shoot, because Miss L loves to hide her smile. So, instead of zealous smiles, I get deep and somber- and I know how her mom loves her smiles. And while, I agree her smiles are infectious {see below} her somber look is beyond to die for! I swear, if you stare into her deep brown eyes, you can see all the way down to her soul- and what an amazing soul she possesses! Well, since her mom is one of my absolute favorite people, I am including some smiles too- but nothing compares to the beauty of those deep somber chocolate eyes! {I sure hope you two can give me another one this beautiful}!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

    Love them all Kelly! It seems hard to believe with all the trouble she was giving me about wardrobe changes and hair bows that you were able to get these shots! You are a miracle worker!
    Love you!

    We agree with the photographer, her eyes say so much. So innocent so pure at the same time looking at us like she knows she’s a lot wiser than most kids her age (and some adults:)

    The talents of her photographer were obvious from the first pictures two years ago. Your photos are incredible.

    I love the pics of the Leila! I love the close-up of her face when she’s lying in the grass. Her eyes look so beautiful. Can’t wait to see the rest of the photo shoot.

    Wow! These are beautiful. Maybe you should do all the photo shoots without me there. Just kidding–they are great shots.

    Thanks,
    Chris
