I Heart Tutus...

2009-05-09T18:08:00.010-05:00

I haven't posted in a while because I've been back in the states for 2 months traveling around with the new baby and my 2 year old. However, I did manage to fit in a few photo sessions on my journey and I'll post them as I complete the editing. This one was a lovely young girl named Dylan who was excited to show off her new ballet uniform and her favorite stuffed animal. She was such a natural in front of the camera it was hard to narrow these down!
