two going on twenty

5x7 - 06

caroline is the girl of many faces. she has a mean face, a sad face, an excited face, a bashful face, and a "chubby chubby" face. as we were en route to our photo shoot, brian said, "i hope she can get caroline's faces." and she did! hope mabry photography perfectly captured how i want to forever remember caroline at two years old.

here's the "chubby chubby" face...

5x7 - 10
now brace yourself for caroline's mean face... (she really thinks she's scary!)

8x10 - 14
and this last one is my favorite. my heart sinks everytime i see this picture because i see this little girl growing up so quickly. there are so many things caroline can do on her own now... there is so much she can tell you about with such gusto. (and with such volume!) i can't help but still call her my baby girl, even though her baby days are long gone...

8x10 - 11
thank you, hope, for stopping this moment in time. in twenty years, i know i'll be even more thankful!

(please do not use these pictures without the written permission of hope mabry photography. thanks!)

Emily--
These pictures (and the ones in the previous post) are beautiful!!! Wow...simply breathtaking! I actually just e-mailed the photographer to see when she would be in town again so we can book a session.

Emily, your children - and these photos - are just beautiful! I visit your blog often and am so encouraged to read about the life of another young Christian family. You write beautifully and I really appreciate your love of the Lord and desire to raise your children for Him! God bless xxx

What a GORGEOUS little girl you have! Wow! Those eyes are precious! And those cheeks! The mean face is extra scary. I will try to behave when around Caroline in order to avoid it. :)
