Heart-a-breaking.

Shot in near darkness but I saw this today and loved.  In between the “mummycanihavea…” and the toddler meltdown demonstration, she momentarily looks like this.   Jawbreaker?  Heartbreaker, me thinks.

    I love how the colors of the jawbreakers and the logo pop! and her dress of course, my Big girl has a green and white polka dot dress, I think she loves it just as much as I do too :)
    Her expression is priceless!

    awwww. Those things are murder on your teeth! As always, Ivy is adorable. You always have her dressed so adorable. My Caitlin rarely lets me dress her anymore. I buy all these beautiful clothes and they just hang in the closet.

  13. Emily says:

    absolutely adorable, sheye!

    Just popping by to check out your shots! Casey Chappell from http://www.caseychappell.typepad.com sent me your way. I just love love love your photos! I can’t wait to finally save up for that Nikon D 90 I’ve been wanting so I can do more with my photography! I love those moments right before a meltdown. The look of longing and begging…sweet but sad.

    I have to tell you… I just bought your actions last week. I have been a terrbiel mother since then! Why? Cause I spend all my time editing and re-editing pictures. I was also inspired to make a book for my niece…every single picture in it is edited with one of your actions. The whole book itself was inspired by your ‘candy’ collection and soft pinks and pale textures. It turned out really well!

    I can also email you the before/afters if you want to see the actual pictures…

    Thanks for your creativity!!

    Blessings-
    Amanda

    I just adore that dress tried so hard to get it in the green but there were none left in Ambers size sigh…………still trying to get one desperately on ebay……..one day! Oh by the way Tash it is Australian designer Fred Bare and I am pretty sure it was from their 2007 summer collection.

    Ah yes you have to love the meltdowns its so hard to say no when they are so darn cute! Isn’t it scary that they are in summer clothes already and its not even spring! Still trying to make my daughter wear some of her winter clothing to get some use out of them, oh well I do love summer!

    There’s something very disturbing about this picture, not the doe eyed dear begging for a lolly, I’m used to seeing that…BUT a sun frock in the middle of August!! Us Melbournian’s can’t comprehend anything but coats and scarfs between May and Oct.

    No wonder my hubby keeps offering to move north or west!! ( I just can’t part with Melbourne’s shops)

    Sheye: I am thinking of purchasing your Eye Candy Actions. Could you tell me how they work? I mean, are they “instant” or complicated? Thanks so much for your help. I adore your work.
