Shew! It’s been a busy week! I had two photo shoots this week, along with all the usual stuff that goes on in the household, a girl’s night out (with kiddos), parents coming in this weekend, etc., etc., etc.
But all that work is worth it when I get to spend a morning with a beautiful little angel. 
Miss A is a sassy, beautiful, almost two year old and she made me smile for the better part of Tuesday morning. And I have to say, there was plenty to frown about, but this stellar mini client of mine didn’t let adversity get her down. Oh no, she was a trooper!

And I have to say, there was plenty to frown about, but this stellar mini client of mine didn’t let adversity get her down. Oh no, she was a trooper!We met up at one of my favorite parks in the area. I love it because it is big and the photo opportunities are endless. The terrain is wooded and open and has a river and little creeks and even a beautiful garden with a water feature. I’ve done many shoots here and no two come out the same. So, when we agreed upon this particular park I was excited. Arriving 10 minutes early I was shocked to see that the park had been taken over by some sort of massive cub/boy scout group. There were tents and tables and signs and kiddos EVERYWHERE! My favorite natural backdrops were now archery ranges and “zones” and I almost cried at the sight of it. I drove an extra loop around the area to see if there were any free spots and was relieved when I discovered my lovely garden with fountain was uninhabited.
The darling Miss A was in a wonderful mood, and though she started out right off the bat with an accidental blow to the head, she bounced back happy and full of energy. Her absolutely darling little Janie and Jack dress made me long for a little girl of my own! 
Is she ready for her catalog shoot or what?! 🙂 There is a matching hat too mommies – this little outfit is just to die for!
After a million perfect shots around the fountain, we moved over to the river side of the park for a snack and much needed break. There must have been some planets in alignment or something, because throughout the shoot we were greeted by the local park creatures.
This little guy walked right up to our table, and in doggy fashion sat up on his hind legs and held his little front paws out to us for what seemed like forever. “please ma’am, may I have some of your snack?” I just happened to catch him in this image on his way under the table for a nibble dropped by Miss A.
As soon as we left out picnic table, a bold and gregarious duck waddled up and followed us for some distance down the dirt path to the playscape. I was too focused on my little cutie patootie client that I didn’t get a picture of him, but I assure you he was mighty friendly.
As we made our way to the playscape, the temps were on the rise. I honestly didn’t think Miss A would make it much longer (or myself for that matter!). It was a typical hot, humid Texas day and as usual, no wind for relief. But let me tell you, not only did I get another 100+ shots out of this cutie, she kept smiling and playing joyfully throughout.
I am having the hardest time narrowing down the shots to a reasonable amount for proofing, but I am pretty sure Mom will be pleased. I suppose it is a good problem to have! Hmm, the perfect little subject, the perfect dress – what more could I ask for?
Oh yeah, maybe less boyscouts! 😉
Until,
D 🙂
