My Buddy

It wouldn't surprise me if Zaylee Sue grew up to be a photographer. She spends a lot of her time with me as I photograph babies, set up for sessions or go out for fun to photograph various things. She is my little buddy. I am already dreading not having her around so much when she starts kindergarten next year. We have a lot of fun together. This past Wednesday I met with a friend to go photograph some Eagles and Zay came along. My favorite shots from that day are the few I took of her sitting in the car being her happy little self. When I look at these photos of her in the car, I know that her favorite puppy is in her purse on her lap, she helped me do her hair the way she wanted it that morning, insisted on wearing her formal dress sweater over her t-shirt, and added a yellow bracelet as the final touch before we left for the day. She is the perfect vision of what I want her childhood to be like :).  The next morning, she helped me test the lighting as I set up for a newborn session at home. She is always so willing to sit for me as I spend time getting my lighting just right. She has fun helping me out and loves photographing her stuffed puppy. She asked me if I wanted to be a photographer when I grew up? I told her I'm not grown up just yet lol. She's so spunky and fun and adds so much spice to our lives. I know I say it a lot about my kids, but again I'm just so thankful! I'm thankful for her every single day and feel so blessed to have her as my daughter. I have all I ever wanted and then a whole lot more :).



Here she is helping me set up for a newborn session. Yes I set up on my kitchen table (which is why I never post photos showing off my "studio" lol)
And  now that you've seen my so called studio, here is a shot from the newborn session that day. It's the only one I've edited so far.
