I am so grateful to be in the world of digital now!??<\/p>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago, my friend Michelle emailed the above picture to me and suggested I copy it for Tori.?? I thought that was funny considering that picture was my very FIRST inspiration.?? So, seven years later and with a Canon 30D, I tried this shoot again with Tori.?? Remember the day I said she wasn&#8217;t cooperating??? I was really lucky to get that smiling shot above.?? I didn&#8217;t even bother attempting diaper or bum only because she wasn&#8217;t going for it.?? I had to wait until she fell asleep on her own and then I snuck this one in.?? I love this outfit on her too.?? I think I am getting a little OCD about polka dots but I love them.?? I suspect she will have plenty more polka dot outfits.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/May\/GiftFromGod1.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Happy Michelle??? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Above picture hanging in Tori&#8217;s room.??
