In December I had the privilege of meeting and photographing this very elegant young lady.
Her mom called and asked if I'd take some photos of her daughter to surprise her grandmother for the holidays.
Apparently, the only thing on Grandma's Christmas List was photos of her grands.
Well, as the story goes, Grandma was in tears when she saw these images of her stunning granddaughter.
Actually so was her mother and, I have to admit, I too, got a bit choked up when I saw them.
(I think she looks like Ingrid Bergman in the above photo......she's got real STAR quality!)
She has a classic timelessness that makes me think she could have lived in any era from the 1900's to present day.
Like a Princess in a fairy tale...that alabaster skin, those sparkling eyes;
she looks downright REGAL!
Oh, and this stunning girl...is only TWELVE years old!
Thank you sweet girl for letting me capture the beauty that lies within you!

Great pictures.... so glad you are back making the rounds....thought you had disappeared for awhile!

You are so wonderful at shooting and capturing the spirit of the person. When I look at your pictures I don't just see actions. Or colors. Or special props. I see them. That is a wonderful thing to do. You have the 'it' that some people try to achieve their whole careers.
ReplyDeleteLiz is stunning.
