Every June her Mom & I have made plans for her birthday session, but this year….the year she turned 7…was the year I was able to ask *her* what she wanted to do. She’s getting so old so fast. Before you know it her and The Youngest will be getting married. Hey, a girl can dream, can’t she?!
This year she requested flowers and trees. I added a field of wheat to the mix as well.

The girl I started photographing at 6 months is turning into such a wonderful model…


…but she still does silly well.




Honey, thank you for the privilege of spending a couple of hours with you today! I love to watch you grow up through my viewfinder.

I’d also like to take a moment to thank my assistant today. He did a wonderful job keeping track of my coffee and lens caps, which is *exactly* what my assistant’s job is. He’s cheap, too! (He got paid in Silly Bandz.) He asked me if I wanted to take his picture during one of Rosebud’s wardrobe changes, and then promptly faced away from the sun and knelt down so I could shoot from above. Can you tell these two have had their pictures taken by me before?
