alley cats

The weather made a turn for the better on Saturday. To further feature the caps I made for the girls (can you tell I’m proud of my accomplishments), it was decided that we needed to take lots more pictures. It turns out that the Matilda Jane dresses that I purchased for them from a neighbor’s party coordinated with the dresses very nicely. So we headed downtown and did an urban photo shoot. I’ve been aching to do this with the girls for ages, and the conditions (ages, weather, clothing) were finally perfect enough to check this goal off the list. Rather than ramble on about it, I’ll just post a baker’s dozen or so pictures from my most favorite shoot with the girls EVER!! I will say I let the girls wear some of my (what I thought to be fairly transparent) lip gloss per Annie’s request. I was surprised to see how much the camera picked up on it.









We couldn’t forget about Violet. She slept up until her moment to shine, and she didn’t disappoint. Love her:)



The girls are quite delighted about these pictures. We’ll definitely have to get some or many of them framed for the home. Oh, I almost forgot to tell the funny thing that happened right before our shoot. We had gone into Trolley Dogs to eat lunch before our shoot, and I happened to notice a new photography studio next door. On our way out of the hot dog joint, a lady came running out of the photography studio. She proceeded to tell me how adorable my girls were and handed me several of her business cards. Mike and I just looked at each other and laughed after she walked away.

    Matilda Jane should pay you for those and put them in their catalog. They are just perfect! I love pictures taken in old downtown settings and they work so perfectly with those outfits. I’m jealous, as usual. Good thing I like you or all of your many talents would be bugging me by now.

    Does Violet have lipgloss on too?
