Yea! New Sophie Lu pictures! These are SO cute - it looks like Sophie was having a great time. Sophie looks wonderful in that color - and I love the lollipop, what a fun addition to the photo shoot!

Gosh! Those are amazing pictures of Sophie! The color is so vibrant, and she is, of course, gorgeous.

Shana...you're amazing...back up and going already. The newest munchkin is precious!! Maddie and I watched Sophie Lu with her dance recital last night - and now it's ballet talk right and left! Your little man is growing so quickly too. Looks like all are feeling better. Try to get some rest :)

Shana, you are doing SO GREAT with your photography! I can't even believe how much better you've gotten since your days with the Kodak point & shoot...I know you have a nicer camera now, but you've also really learned to play with light and use good locations. BRAVO!! And Miss Sophie, she just could NOT be any cuter! LOVE IT!

Michelle said...

Gorgeous ... absolutely gorgeous!!

Hannah said...

Aw so sweet! I love that dress and the lollipop is fun!

meli ツ said...

OMG! All photos are amazing! Perfect princess, perfect light and perfect picture composition! Sophie Lu is more and more beautiful everyday! Congrats!

Lora said...

So beautiful. Love that dress. I think Sophie is starting to look like you and Mike as her heart is being molded by you and it is coming out of her beautiful face. She looks like a delightful child.

Debbie said...

She is a beautiful little girl!! It looks like Sophie loves being your model!! I love her outfit!

How DO you do it? You have an infant and a toddler to wrangle, but you still manage to take professional-style photos AND get them posted on your blog. You're amazing. Please tell me you have a sink full of dirty dishes ; )

I love the pettiskirt pics. She looks so happy!

Sophie Lu, you are definitely a princess. You have grown into a beautiful young lady.

Shana said...

You guys give me too much credit! I took these photos LAST month! There is no way I could have done it now (still healing, with newborn, etc.). LOL :)

p.s. Some have asked about my camera... I have several but used my Nikon D300 for these. :)

vy said...

You should be a pro photographer...and it probably doesn't hurt to have a such wonderful subjects like Sophie, Ollie and Sasha!

Such a beautiful girl! I can't believe you are on your feet already!! Where do you get your energy???

esther said...

I love the photos! Sophie has such a mature, grown-up expression at times. And in other photos, she's a sweet girl. My favorite is No. 4.

These photos are amazing! They should be in a magazine!

I just wrote a blog post and referenced your blog. I hope you don't mind. Waiting for Sophie was the first China adoption blog I found. All the China adoption blogs have inspired me and encouraged me over the last 2 years. Thanks for sharing your family!

Meredith Teagarden said...

I loved all of them, but somehow the last one was most beautiful...How? Minus the gorgeous colors?!
