Best Shot Monday ~ Sugar and Spice

I think I've been bitten by the little girl bug lately. It seems that my friends all have these gorgeous and sweet little things who are so dainty and cute. I find myself sad that we decided not to try to get preggo this year for money reasons. I never thought I could do the girl thing, but watching the mother-daughter interaction has really been getting to me.

Anyhoo, my BSM this week comes from a shoot I had with this cutie. She was up all night teething and was sad and drooly. Her mama was worried about not getting any smiling shots, but I think sometimes these turn out more beautiful. She has the most amazing eyes.

I think I just felt my ovaries jump!

ohhh her eyes and that bottom lip. yes, non-smiley shots can be just as gorgeous if not more so.
Great Shot...I've got baby fever, too...but this time, I'm hoping for a boy :)

How sweet! I know what you mean about the call of those lovely little girls too...I'm 6 weeks away from my due date with my second and we're anxiously awaiting to hear whether we'll have another boy or a little princess...

Nice shot, nice perspective. But she probably couldn't take a bad picture, what a cutie. Good job.

Christina said...

What a charmer! She is lovely and your work is incredible. I agree, I much prefer images like this to cheese grins.

Jaimee said...

WOW...those eyes!!! And, I agree, I love images like this more than the cheezy-smile ones! They just stop your heart! Awesome work!

Andrea said...

So beautiful! You inspire me.

And I totally don't have the baby fever. I got my girl! =)

Megan said...

those are some gorgeous eyes -- great job for getting the shot!

Andi said...

What a lovely shot, and a precious baby girl! Sweet cheeks and baby skin- beautiful!

I completely know what you mean about the feeling for a baby that you do not have- except I have that for little boys...I have a 19 year old daughter (who was born when I was 17) and my husband and I have never been able to have other children...I am usually totally over that (I am 36 now) but there are times (usually when I am looking at BSM photos on blogs of beautiful baby boys) that I feel sort of empty and wish that I could have given my husband a boy as well.
You are blessed with your son, but a girl...there is something special about them. I would not give anything in the world for my baby girl...
I know the horror of financial struggles, but there are such rare times that anyone is ready for a baby really...you should go for it when you can! Good luck to you...

Rose said...

Yup, been there done that. We're not having more and sometimes the ache for a baby girl is - well, you know.

Those are incredible eyes!!

Maya said...

Oh those eyes!!! I just love the expression on her face too!

Maggie said...

Those eyes! And those soft little lips! That just makes me melt!
