Color Me Happy

34 Comments

What a delightful surprise last night when I got home from this short and tearful shoot to find we did mange to squeeze in some pretty special shots. Poor little Afton was NOT a happy camper having her photos taken. It took us to the very end to realize that her tears, fussiness and neediness for her mama were because she had another double ear infection. Who can be expected to look happy or “model” when their ears are pounding? Despite the screams and her not wanting to let her mommy out of her tiny grasp, we stole these few moments. These images color my world happy in the midst of this cold and blah winter. Enjoy!

{{ Had to close in on those darling, pinchable baby cheeks. }}

    She is just a little darling! I hope she is over the ear infections. That is so rough and she still looks like a star!
