I always buy Sophia a special dress for her birthday. She adored this one as soon as she saw it, and I wanted to take some photos after she tried it on for the first time. So we went outside, and she posed so beautifully.
And then she started laughing. I don’t really know how it started, but suddenly everything was funny and we couldn’t stop. I could barely focus! But I tried to capture just a little of our moment together, as I love her smile when it’s full of giggles.
So this shoot is almost in two parts. And I adore them both for different reasons. Her serenity. And her joy.
My gorgeous girl, while she’s still 4. But almost 5.

Mel, these are so precious. The giggly ones are my favorites, especially when she’s holding her tummy and the close-up. Just gorgeous!
I love this whole series and happy, happy birthday to Miss Sophia. xxxxx
