This is my Boobaleese. Bella boodle. Toodalie Noodalie. Silly Willy. Gracie Girl.
Love her.

I can’t believe that in a week she will be four. FOUR! Where did the time go? Doesn’t it just go by too fast – I mean she was just a baby yesterday and now – now she is little Miss Bella. Sweet and sensitive – girlie to the core – lover of all things princess – and ballerina extraordinaire. I’m so lucky I get to be her mama.

In honor of this momentous occasion, Bella and I decided we would do a special 4 YEAR OLD photo shoot! Just Mommy and Bella. Ha ha. I was kind of shocked when she was rather excited…taking pictures is something she has learned to endure…ha ha…so when she was literally excited by the prospect – I jumped on it! We gathered up some of our clothes…made some cute headbands and were on our way! It was really fun taking pictures of her – my baby – the whole reason I embarked on this photography journey. She is so beautiful…inside and out! We frolicked in grassy fields…made wishes on dandelions…stomped in mud puddles…picked flowers…and more. So.much.fun. We finished the night with some ice cream – truly a perfect evening.

These pictures make me smile – big. They are so her. Hope they make you smile too! Thanks for looking!
