#5! Such a sweet moment, and from an angle that Mama wouldn’t normally get to see. Love it!
#5! It brings back the nostalgia of being a child and playing peek-a-boo. There is such magic with children and games especially this time of year for the holidays! ❤️
#5. I like how it shows the lil guy checking out the world through the safety of his mother.
#5 is the sweetest and cutest pic!
#5, because you feel like you’re right there, sharing a moment with the child peeking through his mother’s hair. What a great candid moment!
#7 Little Dancer! Ballet in a tutu is a classic. Also, more importantly this captures a side of Daphne that is not often seen! Absolutely adorable, one of my most favorite pics of her. I just loved all of the photos from their shoot, great work!
#7 I like this picture because I feel it embodies the dream of being a princess that so many young ladies fantasize about. The care free moment when you know all have to do is lose yourself in the dance and let your heart be free.
#7 because she’s the cutest little ballerina ever!
#5 for me. It’s not until someone else snaps a picture that the Mom gets to see what going on behind her back. This one remind me of my boys. My hair is always in there way when we hug.
