Don't forget to smell the flowers along the way...

We took Angelina to Kiddie Kandids to get some pictures for her 1st birthday. At first I didn't think that our adventure would be very successful. The photographer scared her and all she wanted to do was hold onto Mom and hide her face. Eventually she came around and warmed up to the photographer. I think the pictures turned out wonderfully. The images on my site are a little blurry to protect Kiddie Kandids copyright...but they'll give you an idea of how the real ones turned out. There is one side of her that wasn't captured and I haven't been able to get a picture of that expression yet, but when she is really happy, she smiles with her whole face. Her eyes become really squinty and they look like little upside down smiles. It is the cutest face. Someday I am hoping to capture that face on film.
