little girls in cowboy boots, part 2

Click here to check out part one of this four-part series. :)

      This is outfit # two from the photo shoot with lil-sis. :) I love how elegant and grown-up she looks in these.
       She'll always be the 3-yr.-old who decided to wear Mom's mascara {which she decided would also look good as blush, lipstick, etc.} and yet she's definitely turning rapidly into a little lady. It's scary, sometimes... when I get mad at her for something that seems really major and out of character for her. Come to find out, it is. It's like when I get annoyed with her, I'm really getting annoyed with me - the one who unknowingly taught her how to argue so well. So as she gets older, I realize more and more I have to let her be herself - not push her into being me, since she seems to imitate me on her own. Instead I should be the person God wants me to be, and let her be the person God wants Shelby to be.
Enjoy these pics of little miss independent!

Yellowstone

Earlier this year, my mom took us kids to Montana to see her family. We took a surprise trip to Yellowstone with them, and thank goodness I brought my camera! The hot springs, lakes, wild flowers and animals were spectacular - and I was so enthused to be behind the lens of my camera that day. I was eager to work on different perspectives. I especially couldn't wait to get home and edit my 500 or more pictures!
Here are some of my favs:
