July 4th 2009
Independence
Day
Or to be more precise, June 27th 2009. Last Saturday we all gathered for our annual 4th of July China Moms get-together. It was great afternoon filled with hot dogs and popsicles and fun. Emi and I arrived late and missed the swimming, since we were waiting for the washer repairman. But at least we made it in time to eat!
The girls all posed for their 4th of July portraits, and this year I gave them kind of an antiqued wash look...for a vintage "Americana" feel....to be exact a "Chinese-Americana" feel!
Emi
Abbey
Anna
Paige
Claire
Megan
Madison
Emily S. and Rebekah's picture would have gone right here, but the LA girls couldn't join us....we missed them.
Here are some of my favorite photos of the day.....Like Paigee...starting to look like a pre-teen!
Although she still has her sweet little baby face look too....here she is "feeling the light"..... I had to add this one because Christi wants me to make her look about 5 in all her pictures!!!!
And adorable Claire modeling poolside....
Here's Abbey with one of the model poses she does so well.....I love the light on her face....Polly says she looks mean...but I think she looks "cool"!
I love this one too.....
And Anna with blue lips and nose from her popsicle...
As you can see, Anna will not be outdone by Abbey...she has her "poses" too...here's her "pin-up" pose!
Emi enjoying her popsicle.... and yes, it's "Emi" now...not always Empie...she is 7 1/2!!!!!
And, of course, a group popsicle shot....
Last, but not least, Maddie, who always likes to pop up in front of the camera.....
Have a great holiday!!!
