I am so excited that our portrait circle is sticking together for another year; it has been such a wonderful group of women! And we’ve added two more this year to our little group, which will make it even more fun!
This month our theme was “Reflections.” I knew I wanted to somehow commemorate my little girl’s growing up… She’s a freshman in high school now, and though she isn’t too into looks and makeup (yet!), she is definitely experimenting in a way that is much more grown-up than when she was a little girl and doing crazy, sparkly makeovers on whomever would allow it!
I can’t believe how quickly our precious days with her are slipping through our fingers. She makes me so proud every single day: She’s kind, tender, sweet, thoughtful, smart, responsible… She keeps her feet solidly on the ground, while at the same time overcoming her fears and following her dreams. She is growing into a woman who is even better than I ever imagined my child would be. I feel blessed that she is ours, if only for a short while!
As always, please continue on in our little circle to see how the sweet Laura interpreted our theme this month!
Your lighting is always so perfect. This image is no exception. It has such a dreamy quality about it. And yes, she is becoming such a beautiful young woman.
Soft and pretty as always!
She is so beautiful. Great capture.
Beautiful Jessica! I love the way it feels like we are peeking in on her getting ready and the perfect framing with the mirror. She looks lovely as always!
Jessica your daughter is just so beautiful! She really is such a beautiful young lady! I really love how you have composed this image, it’s really fantastic! I feel as though I have been following you are your daughter for such a long time and I can really see how much she has grown! Beautiful!
Jessica! I can’t believe your daughter is a freshman. I have “known” of you and your daughter through CMs for years and have seen her grow up through pictures. I love your words you wrote about her. 🙂 Such sweet sentiment. Beautiful “milestone” portrait!
Beautiful, as always, Jessica! Love the composition and framing. I love that mirror, too!!!
This is so pretty and airy! I agree, I feel like I have watched her grow up on CM over the years. She is lovely!
This is so beautiful. I love the soft feel and the framing of the image.
