In my faux fur hat...

There is nothing quite like her smile... I think this photo really captures the essence of my sweet Sophie Lu (and it may be one of my all time favorites of her)! Click here to really see it...

Precious, perfect little face- I still can't get enough kisses each day...

Silly girl!

One day last month, Sophie grabbed this faux fur hat (I used to wear it on the slopes back in the day-lol) so she could play dress-up again. I can't decide whether she reminds me of a Russian snow princess or a little Eskimo girl- but either way, it seems to frame her beautiful face just perfectly~ :)

Shana your photography just keeps improving. You have such a good eye for portraits and that is not easy.

Sophie is just gorgeous in that hat. You capture her expressions beautifully.

Yoli said...

Shana, I tried to click on the photo but it said private. I am sure the other shots are lovely as well.

The second I saw the first picture I thought to myself, "She looks like a little Russian Princess!"

Oh Shana,
Your Sophie Lu is so big! It seemed like yesterday when I first saw her famous cooking video and now she's a big girl and wonderful sister to her darling siblings.
You must be so proud.

Let me tell you something funny...
I didn't know what "faux" means,and I've read "my fur hat".I loved the pictures but I wasn't going to comment becouse I love animals,and I hate real fur.
But I did search for that word...and it means FAKE (the only word I know)lol
That was so funny to me..:)But I guess I sould know that the fur was fake,you love animals,I know that.
I am glad I'm not confused anymore..:))
ps:LOVE THE FIRST PICTURE!

I rarely comment, though I follow all three of your beautiful children's blogs. That first picture of Sophie Lu is absolutely stunning. What a beautiful little girl!

OK I know every time I creep out of lurk land to post I gush about your photography skill but seriously, you are AMAZING. If you have a day job you don't like you should quit it asap and start working as a photographer.

What kind of camera are you using now?

Dreamer girl said...

She is really so beautiful.

And she echoes so much that

she is loved and cherished.

That is why I like reading your blog. Because you have such a love of children. As a teacher and a mother, I can so relate.

Michele said...

I had to go private on my blog, you know all too well about that, if you want an invite email me photonut@verizon.net
Take care,

Sophie is such a darling girl with a beautiful personality that shines through her pictures. I've been curious for awhile though, why do you take so many photos without her glasses, it's almost as if you haven't accepted her wearing them?

Anonymous,

I answered your question regarding Sophie's glasses in the post above.
