It's not very often I get to photograph my daughter like this. She loves seashells and has quite the collection! She enjoyed it SO MUCH that she has asked me every day to be my 365 photo project subject since then. :) At one point several years ago my kids got kinda tired of the camera.. but when a girl reaches the age where she delights in looking pretty.... that all changes :) She had so much fun and there are two particular photos where I see her heritage. One of them I totally see my own smile... the other, my sister's. Amazing how genes can be passed down like that. Love this sweet girl so very much. Proud of her for not only being smart, witty, caring and outgoing... but absolutely beautiful too.
