Every year around the kids’ birthdays I drag them out for a photo shoot. Allie is always willing to play along and dare I say, even enjoys them. So this year when I asked her what she wanted to do for her big 13th bday shoot she mentioned the idea of using our green house and I LOVED the idea! It’s very fitting for may reasons, first and foremost she loves plants so that was an obvious one. Second we have been using our greenhouse for a little over a month now to grow our own veggies. So really it was a perfect place for her session.
As I mentioned, I so look forward to these shoots every year and I tend to get a little sappy so bear with me. Let me talk a bit about what 13 looks like for you, Allie. Aside from officially becoming a teenager, not much has changed. You are still a serious animal and plant lover. You enjoy cooking, knitting, sewing and most crafty endeavors. You love the outdoors and nature and have already informed us that your wedding will be outside in a forest someday! You are growing up fast and dad and I are enjoying watching you become quite an amazing young lady. Can’t wait to see all that the future holds for you! 😘
Here are some of my favorite shots from her big session in the greenhouse. Enjoy!
