Favorite Photo Friday - time is flying by

(Grace is wearing Sophia Jane Boutique's shabby flower clip

that matches perfectly with the Matilda Jane Serendipity line)

In a little over 2 short months she'll be 10 years old.

Double digits.

My baby girl is growing up so fast.

And at almost 10 we're seeing a few glimpses of 'tween-dom'.
 (My made up word)
With some attitude changes now and then...perhaps it's a bit of those hormones kicking in...

And though I'd love for time to stop for quite a while,
I'm embracing it all.

Sweet Grace...my artistic, compassionate, caring, and kind daughter.
She is a dream come true!

Favorite Photo Friday - November

Ah...November.

In our part of the world it is -

beautiful late afternoon light

wind blowing leaves off the trees
a first snowfall

and the anticipation of Winter days.

For me it's squeezing a few more outdoor sessions in with my children. 

 Last weekend I took Grace out for some portraits

before the snow starts falling.

The light was amazing in this field.

Last year I took her here out on the train tracks.

It's pretty amazing to see how much she's grown in one year.

This girl is awfully patient with me, it was a little chilly when we did them.

I love how she managed to find some levity!

Grace's beautiful hair flower (the eggplant colored peony) is by Sophia Jane Boutique.

And her pretty outfit is by Matilda Jane.

I thought they went together fabulously!

Have a great weekend. 

I'll be staying warm and toasty indoors. :)
