Spring Photo Shoot

It is always surprising to Trevor and I the pictures that we end up loving after every photo shoot with Ivie. I always get her all ready for pictures thinking that we are going to capture the most perfect, beautiful still life of our little girl, where she will look sweet and innocent and like she belongs on the pages of a baby magazine.

And we do get some like that...but it is the sort of stuff like this that I end up loving.Because when she takes her shoe off in the middle of the camera snapping because she loves the buckle on the strap it is just so her.Or when she decides to check out just how her prop tastes it makes me laugh.And the little smirks that replace stellar, magazine spread smiles melt my heart.
And the teeny scratches across noses from fingernails I have let get too long, remind me that we are our own kind of perfect. And it just doesn't get better than that. PS - Remember the Spring pictures we took of her exactly a year ago? My how she has changed.

So cute when the real baby and all their nuances shine through, and I would like to borrow her headband.

Such a beautiful girl! I know what you mean about those not magazine pictures that are somehow just more appropriate.

She is gorgeous! I want to see more of her and hear all about your life. The end. :)

Update already! Also as I was writing this, I thought, "Or I could just be a real human being and call Chelsi and see what's up." But it's midnight and I don't know what time you go to bed. Alas.
