Turn Around Twice...

...and this is what happens. She's 12 this month. TWELVE. Lord have mercy...where did the time go?? We decided to ring in the last of her tween years with a little photo shoot and oh my gosh you guys...I had the time of my life. I chose her 3 outfits, which I did damn good and am usually never allowed that privilege. But I kept it 100% her style, which I'm sure added to my success. Truth be told I had a blast coming up with these 3 outfits and they really are just so her.

She was the perfect muse (after having been whipped into shape all these years. That's what happens when you're the child of photographers) and I'm so happy to say that she really is so incredibly photogenic.

I'm going to tell you that she is just so sweet, so compassionate, so kind and so intelligent and these things are true. I am so grateful for all of these traits in this little woman, but what I am most entertained by with Ella is her sense of humor. Holy smokes does this girl keep us laughing.

To my wee babe: thanks for all the tears of joy and looking forward to a lifetime of tears of laughter with you.
