another year older….

i had the pleasure, once again, to photograph a beautiful little girl that i had photographed last year as well.  i love my job for many reasons.  one, in particular is because it is so much fun to see children grow.  i also really enjoy connecting with and staying in touch with so many wonderful families!

Samantha (Sam) is so much fun.  she has the most beautiful red hair, a wonderful imagination, a great sense of humor and a VERY LARGE collection of stuffed animals!  she loves all of them, knows each of their names and how and from whom she acquired them.  i find this all very impressive for a little girl of 4!

Sam, her Mom and I spent the day reading stories, playing with animals and then headed outside to jump in leaves and climb trees.  what a great day!

here is Sam’s holiday card from last year (the front anyway)…. and yes, Sam is still quite a big fan of Rudolph this year…

reading to her favorite little doll….

ummmmmm someone likes disney…..

Sam does what her Mom calls “the scarecrow”.  this was hilarious.  she can hold a serious and still look for quite some time.  do NOT get into a staring contest with Sam.  she WILL win! 

now… here is a whole new set of dolls…. her Christmas dolls.  there are plenty of those as well!
