My Girl

Background to this photo shoot - I bought a girls aged 12 top in a sale a few weeks ago. I just adored the fabric and was sure I could size it down to make a cute dress for K. I really like her in light girly shades and I like to have her dressed appropriately for her age, which I am finding hard at the moment. Everything in her size, in the shopes, just seems garish to me at the moment, so I am making some of her summer wardrobe myself.

Kirsten doesn't really like to have her photo taken and my camera is just a plain digital point and shoot camera, so she needs to be fairly still. K does not like to be still. LOL

However I managed to persuade her into the garden so I could take a pic of her new dress, which she loves. (yes I forgot to take a before pic, AGAIN.)

To begin with she wasn't up for smiling, but you will see her relax as the photos went on. I am thrilled to have so many today, and some that I feel are good ones of her. She is notoriously hard to photograph!! They always turn out blurry.

Then she wanted to do star jumps lol

and twirling

I know she isn't smiling in either, but I think the first and last ones are my faves.
