It finally stopped raining here in Nor Cal, so I was able to do Kate's 3 year photo shoot this weekend!
How cute is her dress?

This dress is inspired by Disney's Princess & The Frog movie.
Even though Kate hasn't seen the movie, she loves frogs.
More than frogs, she LOVES the color purple, so I knew this dress was perfect for her, since none of her clothes are purple (I always end up buying her pink clothes)

*sidenote - The frog is also perfect because she isn't really into the Princess thing. I showed her Cinderella for the first time 2 weeks ago (the only princess movie she has seen. After the movie she told me her favorite characters were the cat, dog & mice. Kevin was so proud since he is anti-princess*
In order to convince Kate to let me take her picture, I told her we were going to search for frogs & she needed to wear her new purple frog dress!

Of course, I have learned that I can't do a photo shoot with her on my own, so I begged my older sister to come with me to help make Kate smile!
Thanks, Elyse!

It has been so rainy the past 2 weeks & this week she came down with a nasty cough (and she has since given me her cold) so we have been cooped up in our house all week.

One of the good things about all the rain is that all the hills around our house have turned GREEN!
It makes a great backdrop for pictures and it is a reminder that Spring is right around the corner!

In order to have her sit for some pictures, I bribbed her with the promise of candy.
It worked, for a minute.

ReplyDeleteHow much do you have to pay her to smile and look at the camera? She is so sweet and unsassy.
ReplyDeletedarling!
ReplyDeleteSuch great pictures!! She is such a cute little girl. I love her pig tails.
ReplyDeleteGreat frog dress too. I bet my 3 yr old would love that. She's a bit picky about her clothes.
Looks so green where you were shooting. Is that right around your house? It's so pretty.
PS- I bribe my kids with candy all the time to try to get a good picture. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pink converse! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteI know she is small, but she looks so tall in these pictures! Her legs and arms are so long and she is looking like a big girl. Darling photos, great smile, super cute dress.

ReplyDeleteKate has got the most beautiful eyes. What great pictures! That green grass really makes the frog pop. :)
