I don't think I'll ever get use to the fact that this girl - this beauty is my daughter.
These pictures are from our little shoot we did on Good Friday at the big mall where the lighting is fabulous. I've been dropping little teases since then so here are just "some" of the hundreds I took.
Can't get enough of my girl.
When I look at that face and stare deep into those eyes - it's like I've known her for a thousand years.
One of these pictures is going up on my wall. I have 2 blank spaces in my diningroom and empty frames waiting for a painted portrait to fill them. I have been meaning to paint a portrait of each of the girls for these spaces. For ages now. But until then I think I will blow up two favorite photos on stretch canvas, frame them and hang them. Now I have to decide which one.
Sometimes when I check on her at night before I go to bed - I creep into her room and bend down to shnuzzle her cheek.
She stirs slightly and murmurs "mama" - so softly and sleepily, almost as if she was waiting for me.
Up a pole. Yes....you read that right. Almost fell off it too - into a bed of flowers.
(btw. I don't know why there are so many spaces between my sentences. I leave one and everytime I go back to check, there are 6 lines. I delete and delete but they still keep coming back. Me think I've got a bug. Anyway...sorry if it bugs you 'cause it certainly does me.)
Check out all the great photography at Lisa's site.
I've been working on getting my new photography website up and running and booking more photoshoots so I'm a bit of headless chicken these days. It is coming - if my computer doesn't choke on me.
So, feel free to chime in if you have a favorite. I'll be taking some similar shots of Milana this week-end so that bare wall will finally be dressed.
Thank you for indulging my - over the top passion of "can't get enough of that face" !!
Happy Month of May!!
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God.
My (growing) family.
Hangin' out with my girlies.

Stunning, Wanda --just stunning! I'm referring both to Dahlia and the photos. :)
Oh, wow. The ones in color are just as beautiful, too!
I was wondering how some of the shots would look in color. Thanks for including them. =)
Wow she is a real beauty! The photos are stunning!
Breathtaking. Oh Wanda.
The 4th one down and the largest black and white...well I have no words for them. She's stunning and you capture her beauty and personality. I can feel how much you love her in these images.
So what are you and I going to do when D and Grace get to be about 13-14? Lock the doors? yikes.
Congrats on the new web site.
xoxoxo
She is breathtaking and the pics are exquisite!
the colors are so beuatiful but I have to say I love the black and whites they are so stunning
So worth the pole climbing! :-) These are amazing Wanda. I can't even imagine picking just one.
I'm agreeing with Gail....I think we all need to keep those doors triple bolted!
xoxo
Funny Grace - I was leaving a comment on your post at the same time as you were here.
And, yeah...let's invest in a door bolt company.

She is beautiful! Precious Photos.
Well, you're in big trouble trying to decide because I have so many favorites. She is blossoming before our very eyes. I LOVE that dress, the flower, those EYES.....and the gorgeous hydrangeas in the backdrop...wow. Dahlia's eyes just sparkle and not just cause they're gorgeous...but cause she's looking at her Mama through them.....oh, how she adores you. She is one little love, that's for sure. I do feel gyped though.........thought I was going to get a whole ton of photos and I was sad to see them end. Got anymore??
