Annual Photo Shoot

Every April I take pictures of the girls in the purple flowers that bloom 2-3 months out of the year. I have done it since Lily was a newborn. This year had two sessions because Daisy broke down during the first one. I just barely got around to the second session (is it June already?) so the flowers aren't as vibrant and in full bloom the second time around. Se la vi! Here is what I captured.

My Sweet Lily Ann

Daisy, who rarely smiles for the camera, let alone sits still for it. I took the above photo and then she decided the soft cushy flowers were attacking her or something and hence would not stop flipping out.

So, before session 2 I caught this rare photo of my daughter smiling. What you can't see is my hand on her tummy holding her back and tickling it. She always moves forward because she wants to see herself on the camera.

Ms. Serious (Once again with my arm stretched out holding her in place).

So, Session 2 began and Daisy was too busy to even glance at me...

She was on a mission to simply keep moving!

She did smile once while run, run, running.

and then stopped to touch,

and smell the flowers (her smelling expression while blowing in and out of her nose).

I guess expecting an almost 15 month old to pose for the camera was unrealistic. At least she's not crying, right?!

Sisters.
Lily exploring.
I'm a little sad the flowers weren't as vibrant as they were in April but there is always next year...that is if I am not in slacker mode.
