5 Year Old Little Girl

Today, I had the chance to take photos of my first 5 year old little girl. She was so cute, and such a ham! She even made some of her own poses! I definitely had fun with her! She was an absolute sweetheart!

My girls

Had a mini photoshoot with my own girls today. As I wanted to capture my 10 month old standing by herself, as I haven't yet even captured a snapshot of it. And ofcourse, you can't take a picture of one child and not the other. Kayliana posed herself in the picture above. She put her legs just like that and said that she wanted the "lady lamb." Doesn't she look so innocent?

My Sweet little Addison. I put her in the basket to try to get her to sit still. She normally crawls away.

And, my baby is growing up so fast. Here she is standing all by herself. She's taking a few steps here and there, but not fully walking yet. Look how proud she is of herself to be standing up! I'm doing their birthday pictures this weekend so that I can make their party invite and send it out. I will be posting them ofcourse. I also have 2 photoshoots over the next 2 weeks that I will have model release forms for, so I'll be posting those at the end of the month as well. :)
