This gorgeous eight year old is all ready for her upcoming baptism! Milestone sessions like these are always such fun. I always feel like I'm freezing childhood with these sessions, capturing an exciting moment that will live in these photos, even when the gorgeous girl I captured grows up.
Seriously, though. This girl has the best smile. She loved her beautiful dress and getting to feel just like the princess she is during this session. I think we all need times in our life when we get to be the focus of the moment- when we just get to soak in the love of those who love us best.
I always encourage parents to come to milestone photography sessions- because they are a great opportunity to be a part of capturing this little, growing child! I feel like smiles and giggles that are in response to banter with parents are always the best ones we capture! They make for gorgeously genuine photos.
When possible, I love getting camera shots that capture this parental love. I am so thankful to be a mom who was so loved by my momma and I wish I had so many photos, just like this one. The way our mom looks at us, the joy that is in that connection, its priceless.
Congratulations! It sure is great to be EIGHT!
