Okay, if we're being honest here, Kaelyn was not at all excited about taking the photos, in her words "Mom, I really like Miss Carrie's clothes, but I don't like taking pictures!" After a little chat in which mommy told her that Miss Carrie gives her the clothes as a thank you for modeling them she decided that though she didn't care for the actual picture taking she'd endure it and even smile, so that she could continue rocking the MaeLi Rose clothes!
I was secretly celebrating her choice! For one, the clothes are super cute and she gets oodles of new fancy clothes to wear for free and two we get free (adorable) photos of her and Maddie! I think it's a win-win for all involved! In fact, I'd even venture to say the girl's enjoyed themselves this time! They especially seemed to perk up when we told them we could give some of these photos to Papa Minas for Father's Day! It was an outdoor shoot, they've now met the designer several times and this time her sister (who they'd also met before) was the photographer and the girls seemed more at ease than last time in the studio. It was perfect, by the time they were clearly getting hot and tired, we were D.O.N.E. Then they (and Brennan and Micah I might add) were given a goodie bag full of yummy treats! Carrie knows how to take care of her models!! They were all thrilled!
Without further ado, my favorite photos from the shoot, in no particular order! If you're not their grandma/grandpa or aunt/uncle, feel free to skip this entire post:)
My cutie patootie niece Maddie.
Probably not he best for marketing the clothes, but this was one of my faves.
Her favorite thing about her MaeLi Rose clothes?? Their twirlability (is that a word)? The moment she gets them on she runs to our room to watch herself as she twirls int the mirror.
These two have SO much fun together!! Their fun usually involves wrestling and giggling today it was whispering silly words to each other. This is one of my faves from the shoot for sure!
Another favorite of mine.
