As we all know there are many physical changes that occur through the years as babies change to toddlers and turn into children. But, I find it intriguing when a child comes in for a session years after their baby session and has the same personality! Eliza was no exception!
From her newborn session through the first year she was a very serious little girl. We had to work REALLY hard to get a smile out of her. As her mom and I were reminiscing about that first year she even mentioned how she was worried when Eliza wasn't smiling at 6 months old. In our baby plan the 3-4 month session is what we called our "expression session" because for the most part this is really when you can get those BIG toothless smiles and giggles. But not Eliza. :)
This baby portrait was taken during her 6 month session and this was maybe the biggest smile I could get from her. I thought it was great! This was her then.
This was Eliza this week for her 9 year "Where are they Now" portrait session This is her now...
She is a stunning 9 year old with big brown eyes and tons of beautiful freckles! She is a great conversationalist and is very mature (she is the oldest of 3). And, even without a big smile you can see that she sparkles!
She is real, and confident, and she is beautiful. This is 9. Let's Celebrate our Girls!
"It won't be like this for long. One day soon that little girl is gonna be all grown up and gone.
Yeah, this phase is gonna Fly by."
