the lovely leona

Do you guys remember Leona? Man! What a cutie! Today she and her *adorable* sister came by for some spring photos, and we had so much fun in the new studio! And yes, those are her very own sunglasses! The only prop I supplied was the lollipop (much to her delight).My main goal in getting this studio space ready is to provide a place that's fun for families to get their photos taken. I have a few rules:1. These photos, under no circumstances what-so-ever, should look like a JCPenny or Olan Mills shoot like my family did in the 80s.2. Everyone should be having fun during the shoot! And not faking it.3. Let's keep it bright and modern (see Rule No. 1).I am so excited to edit this full take as there were so many rad shots to choose from. We had balloons! And confetti! And a spinning chair! And bubbles! Today was one of those days where I am just pleased as punch that this is my life.For your internet share of the day, how about this photo project on black dogs? Many black dogs are the very last to be adopted at shelters, and yet they are so sweet! Check it out!
