Recently I did a photoshoot for my niece Zandi.?? She just turned five years old.?? We were sad to miss her birthday party tonight because now Tanner has a fever.?? 🙁
I have yet to post process the pictures from this shoot but I did get an oil done of her.?? Since these oils take me at least 3 hours, I wanted to prioritize a few before school started back (Tuesday!).?? Hope you love it Aimee!?? Mom likes the color version and Jim likes it in black and white.?? I think she looks so beautiful and this picture really captured her I thought.?? Our sweet little girl with her gorgeous baby blues.
The Zoomed version
The original picture for comparison
Notice my new little watermark in the upper right corner??? The silhouette is of Tori (like you didn’t guess that).?? 
Two kid funnies:
Scene:?? Jim getting ready to cut Tanner’s hair in the bathroom.?? Mommy watching on.
Tanner:?? Mommy.?? I don’t want my hair to look like Daddy’s.
LOL!?? I laughed.?? Jim didn’t.
*******************
Scene:?? At Papa and Sweetie’s.?? Ty was getting really annoyed with Tori because she kept trying to get his X box controller.
Me:?? Honey.?? You are the big brother who is 4 and she is only 6 months.?? You need to talk sweet to her and be very gentle.?? Just lovingly take it away from her and talk real nice while you are doing it.
Ty gives a very half hearted attempt.?? Tori isn’t going for it.?? Tanner intervenes and starts very gently weedling it out of her hands and is softly talking to her.?? Following is what Ty says to Tanner after Tanner recovers the controller without incident.
Ty:?? You ARE the best brother!
We died laughing.?? He said it so sincerely – it was hysterical.

Pictures of my daughter from this weekend in her special ordered outfit should be posted tomorrow.?? 🙂

Thank you so so much for taking the time to do this we will treasure it forever. I’m thinking it would be cool to hang the oil painting in her room…what do you think? Love ya
I really like both versions…. but theres just something about the color version with those pastel colors and those sparkling blue eyes!!! Shes such a cutie!! LOVE THEM!

Doni once again I am sitting here amazed. The oils of Zandi are beyond words. I can’t pick a favorite because they are too beautiful. I think that I would just have to hang them in different areas of the house :). You are amazing. Great job!!
