So I was going to skip the I Heart Faces challenge this week (just too busy!) but seriously, how could I resist a pink challenge? Especially since I have all this pink cuteness right here in front of me?

Gorgeous princess Nathalee arrived last week:

Somehow her parents managed to arrange for a field full of white flowers on their property in the middle of a Texas drought…lucky girl! (and lucky photographer!)
So I seem to have been doing things a little out of order lately–I will usually post a sneak peek to the blog a few days after your session, then some of my favorites to a facebook album along the way before dropping off your completed CD…but this session is all backwards, so this is more of a final peek than a sneak peek!
Nonetheless, here it is:

I love little Miss Mary in this dress borrowed from Lyla’s future closet–it suits her goofy and carefree personality (she reminds me of my Lyla
)
Can’t wait to meet little Mr. Gabriel later this month!
This girl is just gorgeous…as I was going through flagging photos from her session I was thinking about just how much trouble I was in time-wise since there are so many beautiful photos of her.
This one just happened to be perfect for I Heart Faces‘ touch of sun challenge this week:

So addicted to lovely twinkly light bokeh through the trees lately!

This is lovely!
Super Cute.. love the lighting!
Those beautiful serious eyes. Lovely photo!
this is beautiful!
Beautiful shot! Such a pretty girl too!
Love this. Her eyes are amazing!
beautiful photo! love the eyes and the colors!
Beautiful!
Gorgeous light…gorgeous girl!
Wow! Could this be any more magical?! I love the whimsical lighting, her big blue eyes, her hair, and the softness of the whole photo. Love it!!!
Those eyes! Her eye contact, relaxed face, fabulous lighting…if all the shots are like this, you WILL have a hard time narrowing the final tally!
cross my heart and wish to cry…this.is.spectacular…wow…
Gorgeous. Beautiful little girl and beautiful light. Lovely!
That bokeh IS lovely. A wonderful shot.
Gorgeous and breathtaking.
So I have a little dilemma…I want to choose a signature newborn prop–something I use for every newborn session and leave behind for you to remember me by
…I actually try to leave something behind at every session, but in this case I want to pick one, special signature prop for newborns.
So for my little newborn girls, I’ve already decided to leave behind a teeny, tiny pair of shoes–a) because I love shoes, b) because it’s so hard to find super-cute newborn shoes, c) because it emphasizes just how teeny tiny your little one was, and d) because Jessica at Joyfolie was kind enough to teach me how to make them at last year’s Makerie crafting retreat and though I’m sworn to secrecy on the techniques of their making, and agreed not to sell them, I suppose I can give them away![]()
So here’s little Miss Sunny Sidney’s shoes (in a beautiful shade of yellow) that I packaged up with her CD and left for her:

But I’m not sure what to do for my newborn boys…it has to be something I can make, or can easily learn to make…some things I came up with were teeny little crowns in fun prints, tiny ties, or a little quilt…sadly my knitting and crochet skills are limited, so I’m not sure if I can manage a knitted hat or blanket (though if it’s a simple hat or blanket, I may be able to learn).
Anyways, what would you all like to see as far as a boyish newborn prop? Leave a comment below and let me know what you’d like to see!

I adore the cropping here – so dramatic – the white space is so powerful and makes the pink have that much more punch, even though such a soft pink. Lovely image!
LOVE it!
Interesting crop and the little sweet sleeping princess. Love it!
Beautiful…love the positioning!
