little julia

Isn't she the most stunning little creature ever?! The curls alone!
Oh. My. Goodness!
I've had the chance to have her in my cute little pre-school class this year and I can't help but snuggle her to peices every single day.
She has grown so much since our last session (see here and here) and since the beginning of the school year.
She is such a doll! I love this girl!!

But... despite all her adorable-ness and her ever present beauty this little one
has a mind of her own.
The only things that kept her in one place was:
a. cheerios
and 
b. my reflector that she used a cushioned seat.

She challenged me with her .5 millisecond eye contact with the camera, very little interest in:
1. being held by mom or dad
2. sitting
3. standing
4. or in any other way being told what to do

and yet...

WOW!!
Timeless images.

She must have known what she was doing all along.
A little mysterious, a little hard to get. Watch out Boys!
This one is in control and we all stand in awe!

Giebels in the Garden

Germany in the spring is breathtaking. If you don't happen to live here or have not had the opportunity to mirander through this part of Europe, let me just convince you to plan a trip next April, 2010.

For this session we escaped the city boundries in search for the open country side. It took us quite a while, not to find the country side, but to choose between all of the ravishing places we could have gone. Each feild of lush green grass whisping in the soft breeze, beckoned us to pull over, step out of our shoes and to run through the open space, in order to let the rays of the sun that were peircing through the puffy white clouds rest on our faces and shoulders. A dream, yes, I'd say so. Then, we spotted it, a little tree house peaking from behind a few trees in the middle of the feild. Immidiately we pulled over to explore.

...and we ran

...and we girls stopped to pick wild flowers




...and we played





...and we used our imajination... maybe Tom Sawer slashing through the long grass seeking hidden treasures..

...maybe a knight warrior in battle...

Perfection

There is nothing as flawless as peering over a child's resting face. Taking in the details; lashes, lips, and tiny nose. So beautiful they fill you with deep love. You see your fears vanish by their innocence. They give you reason for being better, being what you see while they dream of angels, and butterflies. You see perfection.

Wonder

Mesmerized by what documents his imagination; he has no concept that he may be wet and cold. Life runs on his own business, he makes no exceptions, he is effected by no one.
