New Hampshire: My Pretty Sophalou

My niece Sophie is seriously one of the smartest kids on this planet. I'm 20 years older than her and she teaches me things. She taught the boyfriend what a puffin when she was like 2. She has been a teenager since she could talk and is going to be a world famous fiction writer one day. She spends all day narrating stories that are very good. It's amazing the detail she puts into them. "Play with me" usually means sit here and listen to this story I will create or watch my interpretive ballet dance.

I love her silly and delicate nature. I love that she eats her dessert with her pinkie up while her brother uses his hands to shovel every bit of cake in his mouth. She is loving and lovely. A very special girl indeed and I love her to little Sophalou pieces!

And just for fun her "politician" pose. I have no idea where she learned this but it's her new go-to pose for pictures. SO funny!

PS. She got dresses up that night because my brother, her uncle, was coming over for dinner. She loves him that much.  Isn't that so cute?

XOXO,

Tenley

2010: Favorite Kid Images

Cute little nuggets (children) are among my favorite things in life. I will always light up if there is a kid around. This is why I have spent the last 8 years both photographing children and as a nanny. All kids are beautiful and unique. I have seen and cared for the entire gamut of children which makes me feel so much more prepared for our journey ahead. I am so incredibly looking forward to having a little one of our own! 

Proceed with caution: photo and cuteness overload ahead:

Here's to many more kids shoots in 2011. As well as many pictures of my own little baby bear. Poor kid. He's going to have a little Mammarazzi following him everywhere.

I will be posting 2010 Favorite Engagement and Wedding Images as well. So, look out for that.

XOXO,

Tenley
