Hurricane Alyssa

Shoot all the film you can find, she is worth it. Beautiful photo.

That's gorgeous. Such a grown-up look and hairdo. I know women who would give anything to have hair like that. And of course, nice jammies too. This little one is definitely going to break some hearts down the road...

What a beautiful shot!

Love this portrait. Super well done!

Don't even think about messing with the cookie ...

Thank you all for the kind words. A year ago she pulled me out of a depression caused by too many deaths too close to me. This year, she turned our whole world upside down for 2 wild and wonderful weeks. I don't know if the cat will ever recover from it - when she's not around, we have a VERY quiet household. Here she contemplates chomping down on a plastic hamburger patty from a pile of her mother's nearly 30-year-old toys. In her little kitchenette she washed dishes and baked stuffed animals overnight. She's the first grandchild on both sides and is going to be very spoiled. She is only 2 and already knows how to charm herself out of trouble. I need to thank Gimenosaiz. His wonderful family pictures got me off my butt to get this camera's focusing problem fixed.

Hurricane is an apt word both to describe their motion and rate of growth at that age. It was only last night that they were helpless babies LOL

Yup, she's 23 months here. She'll be back for several days at Christmas. I wonder how different that will be.

love this! and it's great that she and gimenosaiz inspired you to get your camera's focusing problem fixed! bravo!

beautiful portrait of a little princess - well done !
