Mackinzie is my niece…in case you didn’t know.  And every year since she was two I’ve taken her out around her birthday for her yearly pictures.  When she was two we went to Downtown Annapolis.  When she was three we visited Canton in Baltimore.  This year, we were supposed to visit Annapolis again, but it began to drizzle!  So, on a whim, her mommy & I decided to visit Westfield Annapolis Mall.  Oh, and we went on Thanksgiving so the mall was closed!  Never fear though, Mackinzie & I found lots of cool places outside our newly renovated mall to shoot.  And the best part is you can’t even tell it’s the mall, unless you have a super extensive knowledge on what the outside of the Annapolis Mall looks like.  So here is Mackinzie, or Mack-Crazy as we sometimes call her, on her four-year-old debut!

**Oh, and if you’re a Gymboree model scout, yes, Mackinzie is available to grace the cover of your ads with all her sassy & sweetness.  Have your people call my people.

Today I got to visit Baltimore, which I know barely anything about. I can usually count on my brother-in-law Bert to find awesome spots to photograph his family. My niece Mackinzie recently turned 3 and her mom asked if I’d take a couple of shots of her for this glorious occasion!

Okay now, my sister-in-law, Mackinzie’s mom, Laura, dresses her daughter so cute! These fuzzy boots she was wearing were adorable! These boots were so awesome that two total strangers walking behind us starting singing, “Apple bottom jeans…boots with the fur…” (if you know the song, you know it, if you don’t…sorry!).

Mackinzie is also a testament to how great a child can be for a few Skittles! Thanks Bert, Laura, and Kinzie for sharing your afternoon with me! Enjoy your preview!
