Her name means ‘beloved’ or ‘beautiful’ and darling Cara is certainly both. Beyond her gorgeous face, Cara shines with her spunky personality and quick wit. Her momma is one of my favorite people, a dear friend and a gifted poet.
Every time I photograph an eight-year-old, I catch a glimpse of the teenager she will become– it’s a little bit scary for moms, but fascinating as a photographer. My shutter is usually set to one one hundreth of a second; we see things in those moments…
but a moment later, she looks eight again. Wish we could freeze her at this age.
Come visit me again, darling Cara– siete una bella bambina
oh my goodness! what a lovely darling little girl. i love and admire her hair! such long locks! and if her mother gets on here (which i am sure she will, how could she resist?!) could you please tell me where you found her beautiful dress? such modest elegance must not exist in AZ, since i am having one heck of a time finding something for my soon-to-be 8 year old.
lovely work michelle! as always. these are priceless.
Take my breath away! You're so right. One one-hundredth of a second she's sixteen, the next she's eight. These are gorgeous. And I kept hoping Melonie's face would pop in. So glad you got the two of them together. Every one is perfect.
The dress is from Costco! Isn't that marvelous? And embellished my Melonie's very talented mother.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much Michelle!!!!!!! I am so grateful I took the time to finally get you two together. K., the dress is from Costco, Michelle is right! The other one is from zulily.com. Its awesome…both dresses together cost me about 35.00. Again, Michelle, I just can't thank you enough. I got some blown up and will be giving them away to grandparents and Daddy as Christmas presents.
i will be checking my local costco… hopefully it's not just an utah item! thank you so much!!! she looks so beautiful!
