Bella's 2-year portraits and Valentine's Day

I had a photo session this weekend that finally forced me to set up the studio again. I took advantage of it and took Bella's 2-year portraits on Monday. I was worried that she wouldn't cooperate, but she did fabulous! She was so excited to get dressed up, put on her jewelry, and take pictures. She kept saying, Pictures?? Of course, once we were up in the studio, she didn't want to sit, but I told her if she didn't, I would have to take her necklace off. That kept her sitting! Then she was disappointed that we were taking anymore pics, but she refused to take off her dress. The dress is actually Chloe's dress. When we visited in November, Chloe had this dress for her 2 yr birthday. Jaime loaned it to us for Bella's birthday. We always have a matching outfit for them when we are together, so it was cute to have them wear the same dress for their birthdays. Now I have pics of each of them in this dress. So cute!












She did so well with her 2-year pics, I figured I'd try my luck again and took her Valentine's Day pics yesterday. She did great! She had so much fun! The funny thing is we have the same kind of lollipop as she had in her pics last year. It's so amazing to see how much she has changed since last year and also how much my photography has grown since then too!

The pics with Jocelyn and Jenna were taken on Sunday. Bella would not pose by herself at my sister's, but she did great at home. I have those images on my other computer so I will have to upload Bella's pics later.
