Hello Noelle!  This sweet darling is Noelle.  She attends the girls bible study I co-lead and today she is going to a wedding.  She mentioned not knowing what to do with her hair last week and I told her I’d be happy to straighten it for her.  Today, that is what I did!  I took my sister’s Chi straightener, all the products I own, and spent over an hour chatting with Noelle & straightening her gorgeous red curly hair!  And this dress…can you believe that she MADE it with her grandmother!?!?!?  There is none other like it!  It’s amazingly fabulous.  My photo doesn’t do it justice.  There are so many details you can’t see at this distance, but I think she did a wonderful job!  Have a great time at the wedding Noelle!  Dance a little for me!

Pretty much every day of the week – even multiple times a day – I have princesses visiting my house.  They usually magically appear out of my girls’ bedroom, or all of the sudden Emma will go in to the bathroom & then *BAM* a princess will walk out!  During this photograph I was visited by Ariel & Ariel.  One Ariel was in her mermaid state, and one was in her human state.   As you can see, human Ariel needs to get her color done again.  They also brought their little doggie too.  (who, by the way, ran away for three hours yesterday night during the freezing cold – little punk!)

Photos: Vanessa’s Photography.  Vanessa Ard came to the Professional Photographers of Greater Annapolis meeting this past Tuesday and shared about benchmarks, and pricing, and overhead, and percentages…stuff that I’m pretending I know about…stuff that I WILL understand.  She was a great wealth of information & so helpful in answering all of my questions afterwards.  Thanks Vanessa.  Your honesty & openness & feelings about taking new photographers into the fold inspire me!
