Me and Melonie went downtown last night for a quick photoshoot for her birthday and for some fall school pics. Here are some of my faves. I had some fun with the processing on these, generally I try to stay away from heavy editing. But some photos just need some spunk, to match my little Melonie

My absolute favorite! I’m just nuts for the sun flare. According to my hubby, not everyone appreciates it as much as me…he’s probably right! But I love it Me thinks I will be getting a very large print of this one!!

This is her wallet to hand out to her friends. Pretty rad, no?

Silly girl!

“Mom you HAVE to take a picture of this one”. Hmm, not sure why?!

“Oh and my rings”!

I’m not crazy about posing. So I would  just give her general instructions and then see what she did! This seems to work out pretty well, kids do some crazy things. None of these were posed by me except for the tree one She didn’t even want to do that one!

She loves: Jesus, her little sissy, wrestling with daddy, dancing, make-up, jewelry, playing basket-ball, shopping, stuffed animals, littlest pet shop, barbies, zhu-zhu pets, The Jonas Brothers, watching movies, fruit snacks, pepperoni pizza, music, kitties, and puppies.

She is loving, kind, sassy, smart, one of a kind!

Happy 7th birthday to my sweet Melonie, we love you!!
