When looking through my photos for inspiration as to shooting bright, I noticed that my brightest photos were of my daughter. I generally dress her with as much color as I can put together "without looking like a Christmas tree" (as Veronika once said of my own clothing choices). These photos were all taken this week, on various outings around our neighborhood, and Genevieve was usually more than happy to pose. The last photo was taken on my last attempted shoot, by which time Genevieve had gotten tired of standing against walls; she wouldn't stay put for one second. Here she is running toward me brightly, lips puckered, hoping for a kiss.

Oh my heart, your daughter is precious, and photogenic! I wish, I wish I could pull off her colorful ensembles. This is a wonderful set of images - what a neat idea!
The tension between hope, expectation, and anticipation makes me anxious, uncomfortable, in most situations, but I think I know how this one comes out.
The whole is beautiful and heartbreaking, in a good way.
How wonderful!
She is adorable. I love the way you dress her. The second to last on is my favorite. Very bright, indeed.
Love these sunny photos!
So bright and so cute!
Thank you for all the fashion details indeed - that was to answer my question and preventing me from calling you, I'm sure. :)
It's also inspiring to take more pictures of my girls - they would be not that wonderfully and fashionably dressed, but at least for memories.
Also, when L saw a pre-view picture of G in the scarf he said: "She is dressed like Amber!" - and I agreed. :)
