miss alanna!

i don't really ever miss our first house, but i do miss our neighbors. shortly after we moved into the first house, (many years ago) we watched as our then- teenaged neighbor, alanna, was picked up in a limo and was whisked off to her prom. she would poke her head in our windows in the morning to say hello (and scare the be-jeezus out of us) as she headed out to college class. She babysat our daughters, and talked us into letting Madison partake in an acting class that she was teaching. we don't miss our house, but we sure do miss alanna and her family.

when i decided to do a special photo session, i knew this would be right up alanna's alley. and boy did she come thru for me. alanna is beautiful and funny and she's certainly up for anything. tresspassing on private property?....oh yeah, she's in. climbing up on a tractor? sure, no sweat. thanks to my willing model, these photos are all levels of great.....

she'll tell you she does "goofy" so well, but she also does beautiful exceptionally.

see?

i really, really love this one.

madison came along with us for this shoot, and I don't remember what she said, but it definitely cracked miss alanna up with great results. kudos madison!

how cute is this next one?

ok, so the next one i also love....there is such a beauty about this one....

and this series is so fun. the whole time we were doing this, madison was in the background impatiently waiting to find out what this magnificent puffy thing was that we had come across. and of course, waiting impatiently to get her hands on some.

you know we had to give her a handful.

there just are not words to describe how much i love this one. alanna is gorgeous!

and boy we had some fun!

these boots were alanna's idea, and it was fantastic.

lastly, another favorite.

so i am calling this photo session a success. we definitely had fun, we broke some rules, we may have even fed some goats a potato....(did I forget to mention that?)

alanna, what can i say....you did amazing! thank you!!!!
