Today.....I looked into her soul......

A good snapshot stops a moment from running away- Eudora Welty

I am not sure when I became "addicted" to having my daughter's picture taken.  Quite honestly it was probably after we decided that she would be our only child.  I started taking as many pictures as I could in the hopes of capturing every moment of her life. I met Anna Bowick soon after and she began taking pictures of cora for us.  I truly believe that photographers look into the souls of their subjects.  Cora is a pretty sweet soul but it seems as if every time Anna takes pictures of her I see something in her that I have never seen before.

Our first photo shoot with Anna was in Summerville on Short Central.  And this by far was my most favorite shot of the day:

Can she look any sweeter?  These were for Valentine's Day right before she turned 6.

The next set of pics were done at Magnolia Plantation.  I am known for finding a great outfit and then calling Anna to make the magic.  This photo shoot wasn't planned but we took advantage of a beautiful Sunday afternoon:



Once Cora started playing Hockey we called on Anna a few times to catch the all important "Action shots"! 



The first communion shots were AMAZING!  Anna worked her magic once again and made Cora's pictures.  Once again capturing such a sweet side of Cora.


And finally.....today's photo shoot.  The pictures I saw today left me speechless.  Anna perfectly captured where cora is in her life right now.  I saw Cora as she is right now-a spunky, sweet, loveable girl. Anna was able to capture every side of Cora today.  But these pictures are proof that cora is 100% HOT MESS.


I read a quote....."You don't take a photograph You ask quietly to borrow it."  I have confirmed today that it is worth every penny to find that right person to photograph your child.  Photograph them right now-right where they are in their lives.  Because if you don't do it right now you will miss it.  I don't want to make it sound like I am selling you something but if you do need a contact Anna is great and I know she would love to work with you.  But I urge you to do it now......use pictures to gaze into your child's soul. You will be amazed at what you find!
