8 Month Old Little Girl


Today we did a short 30 min session in the studio because when we did the big family portraits with brother and sister this little girl was a little under the whether. She did a great job today gave us lots of smiles.  However I decided to not share the typical smiles from the little girl you would typically see on my blog. Instead I wanted to share some of the other portraits that I just thought were really cute.
