you remember a few weeks ago when i took some photos of miranda … and i mentioned that there was supposed to be a chair and a tutu involved? she didn't go for the idea. but her mom left the chair with me … i was thinking maybe i could do it one day while i was watching her. well, i had to try the chair out … just to get an idea of how it would look. and i have this huge tutu that i made. and i have a younger daughter that i can demand be my model when needed. keep in mind … these were just in my backyard … a backyard that is not meant for creative, full body shots. the fence, the half-dead vines, the tanbark … not great. but i just wanted a quick few shots … totally spur of the moment … and didn't want to leave the house to do it!

as always … click on the photo to see a better view of it. typepad still making the photos look wonky!

    I love them all but my fave would be the one where the tutu is spilling over both sides! She’s so cute and pulls it off with perfect sass.
