Sunflower Smiles



Yesterday's sunshine, Emma's smiles, and a field of sunflowers were a reminder to me of how blessed I am. It doesn't feel like very long ago I was counting down the days to the birth of my first daughter. I dreamed about what she would look like and who she would become. Viewing her through the lens of my camera, I saw a little girl, no longer a baby, who is slow to share smiles, fiercely independent, finds joy in the simple things and is creatively mischievous. My Emmaleigh, she is such a blessing to me!

That bottom photo of her is amazing. I think you have found your new kitchen theme-- sunflowers!

How did you do that bottom photo?? Tell me that it is not just photography skill. Please. You must have done something in Photoshop that I can duplicate. I am not a skilled photographer and my camera isn't NEARLY as nice as yours, but I really want to learn how to do that!! Beautiful job!

These are great pictures...as always. Emma is a beautiful gift. As odd as this sounds to everyone else possibly reading this comment, I feel like printing out these pics and hanging them up in our bathroom (sunflower theme). :) I definitely think you should save these for next year's fair.
