Almost the 4th of July and almost 4!

My youngest daughter will soon be 4! Her birthday is July 5th...well, her birthday was estimated in China and too bad they didn't pick the 4th--then she would think the fireworks every year would be in her honor! The last couple of years we have been in State College PA for a week long horse show and generally missed the 4th festivities...but this year we are staying home and hoping to celebrate her birthday with a day at the beach.

And here are both the girls in their patriotic dresses...

Coming soon...an engagement session!

soon the birthday girl!

 Olivia is having a birthday this weekend! These aren't the official birthday photos, but a few practice shots in the outfit she requested I make for her special day at school on Friday. This first one I gave what I'm calling the Vermeer look, after the Dutch painter...she seemed to have an old-world pose going on and it seemed to call out for an old-world vintage color treatment.
