My Wyoming Cowgirl

On the way out of the studio last time I had Madison's pictures taken, I went to Gymboree and found the cutest cowgirl outfit, with hat and everything.  The shirt is like those my Dad used to wear with the mother of pearl snaps! I had to have it, but I had just taken her pictures!  So I saved it.

Two months went by and I hadn't taken pictures yet and I was at Babies R Us and saw this barn windmill background on the wall with a little boy with a saddle and I just HAD to go there.  They were using it for their Halloween background but it was too cute I thought and I had to get some taken before she outgrew the outfit.

I thought our trip to Wyoming would be a good reason to get pictures taken, so here they are. We took them the day before we left and had some fun pictures to share with Rick's family.

(I sure wish Alysun was closer, I would love to have a session with her! I have a self employed photographer's card I was thinking of going to for her 1st birthday pictures, but I don't know) I know her birthday is Monday but these were just for fun and not the "real" ones! :-)  I wanted something to put in her baby book on the "First Vacation Page" and I thought this was perfect!

I tried to get her little horse on her jeans showing, but we took the smile instead.

Her little pearl bracelet I bought when she was born finally fit, although she tried must have thought it was a candy bracelet, she kept trying to eat it! (Alysun - I threw a fit that they cut off her fingers!)

My niece bought her a pink pair of ostrich ropers for my baby shower.  They are so cute!  I tried and tried to stuff her feet in them and she kept wrinkling her toes and then got mad, so I gave up. I put them next to her to at least get them in the shot. At least there were horses on her socks too! (She doesn't wear shoes yet, so boots did not go over well!)

I hope you enjoy!

The pictures turned out really cute, even considering the cut off fingers. :)

I would go to a custom photographer, if you like his/her work. It is worth the money to have someone take the time with your child to capture her special personality. There just isn't the time or talent in the mall studios.

I would take her pictures in a heart beat if I was closer. I love this age. They are so sweet and happy and just starting to learn to perform.
