Maddie

Yesterday August 8, 2011, I photographed my darling Madeleine. Maddie turned 9 in July. This portrait session was for her nine year old pictures. I cannot believe how excited she was to have her picture taken. She use to roll her eyes at me and say, "Again?" She was even so brazen as to charge me. I laugh now and can still hear her little voice saying, "Twenty Bucks" when I asked to take her picture. Now? She settled for ice cream after the photo session. She was a trooper as well because it was a hot day. I love her pictures! As her parent, putting the photographer aspect aside, I know how hard it is for other parents to choose which portraits they will order. I want to order ALL! And canvas?? Yes! Yes! Yes! This time in her life is fleeting! I do not know how she grew so fast. I still think of her as my little baby! I can still see her learning to crawl and then walk. Her milestones are etched forever in my mind, heart and soul. My baby will be in 3rd grade soon and I keep close to my heart what I tell other parents! "Don't blink! They grow so fast!"
