A good friend of mine had been wanting to do a photo shoot with Mirabel, and she invited us to meet up with her in a random field here in the hill country a few weeks ago. Couldn't have been better timing, right before Mirabel's birthday (she turned 2 this past Monday) and Mother's Day.
We had so much fun, plus I love how they all turned out. Here are just a few. I'm so thankful for these shots; usually when we do family photos, Mirabel isn't very happy when it comes to taking pics with me (it seems most photographers try to capture daddy and daughter first--which is great, but I want some pics with her too!!). So this was lovely. I think she captured the sincerity very well. Those wildflowers are so beautiful, too. Can't say Texas ain't pretty :).
By the way, can you believe she found that dead butterfly on the ground right next to where we were about to start shooting? Kind of bittersweet, but it shows that all beautiful things serve their purpose, even after their souls leave Earth. Cheesy, I know :P.
I've been wanting to write a post about Mirabel's birthday, but I'm waiting until this Saturday's bday party comes to a close--I've still got plenty more pictures to take :).
