It is so rare that I get a baby in here with as many expressions and as much personality as this little girl had.  I swear to the Gods above that the very first shot I took was a purely beautiful smile, and it only got better from there. It was the most fun to shoot, and editing these pictures had me giggling into my coffee…

About 1/2 of the way through the session, her mom and dad looked at me and told me that they brought their Grateful Dead t-shirts, and wanted to know if we could work them into a picture or two. Absolutely. Unfortunately, their dearest daughter didn’t care much for that idea – and it looks like mom and dad have some heavy convincing to do if they ever want their daughter to be a deadhead like her parents. lol… and there go the giggles again…

Lastly – this one is 110% for the photographer who is a die hard Nittany Lion fan. Imagine my heart going pitter pat when dad whips this hat out! I think I’ve died and gone to State College heaven… Let’s Go State! And for the record, I do not think Joe-Pa should retire… just sayin.

Quote for the day:

“The road we ride is a long, long road when you are all alone
But I found you and I found our love, a love I’ve never known”
The Grateful Dead – Hey Little One
