I think I must have taken over 200 photos last weekend at the Conservatory with Alekha! It wasn't that hard as she kept us moving from one locale to another and all I had to do was keep clicking most of the time. She stopped to pose for me when requested but she absolutely loved exploring the gorgeous conservatory.
She really is very patient with her snap-happy Mama and she earned a trip to Barnes and Noble, where she chose a Phineas and Ferb book, as well as some crafty goodies at Michaels. I hope she never tires of being photographed, because I love to take pictures, and love taking pics of her especially!
I can't believe she just turned 8 in July, she has a lot of natural grace (which definitely wasn't inherited from me) and plenty of 8 year old goofiness too (which WAS inherited from me) - as evidenced in the last photo. She was using one of the large pompoms on her sweater to smack herself in the face, and was all hilarity and laughs for a good ten minutes!
Tons more to edit, but here are a few. I used mostly the Fresh Wonderland 2 and Miracle Makeover Actions from Paint The Moon to edit these in Photoshop. I love Annie's actions at Paint The Moon, she's an incredibly gifted photographer (with adorable subjects) and her Photoshop Actions are incredible. Plus she posts video tutorials to give you the know how.
We're off to the Columbus Museum of Art tomorrow. I'm on a "rediscovering my hometown" kick and am visiting all the placed I've wanted to go right here at home. Enjoy your weekend!
She is growing up way to fast...what a beautiful young lady!

She is indeed a very beautiful young lady. You must be so proud of her.
