Our Dancing Girl

Tuesday was picture day for Lily's dance class.  Lily loved getting dressed in her recital costume and having her hair up in a bun.  Normally, I wouldn't categorize Lily as a "girly girl"...but boy oh boy did Lily love how she looked.

Lily was positively beautiful. Radiant. Truly.

After the professional photographer finished taking the girls' pictures we went outside to leave.  Julia, one of the other moms from Lily's class, wanted to take pictures of her girls outside.  Julia has four daughters in Lily's class and Lily loves them all!   Lily and I joined Julia and the girls in the field across from the studio parking lot.  Julia took pictures while the 5 girls ran and danced around.

Beautiful girls and a beautiful day made for a perfect combination!  See for yourself.





As much as I love the pictures above the one below absolutely took my breath away. Such pure joy!



Something tells me I'm not going to like the professional pictures half as much!
