It’s August which means it is time for Miss Rylie’s annual photos! I so look forward to seeing her each year and I get excited to see her new theme and how much her personality has blossomed. This year Rylie turns four, and she had selected the Princess and the Frog for her special birthday theme. This is a favorite at my house. Evidentaly Tiana has a pet named Lily, which is my daughter’s name. I have a feeling that plus being a princess plus the great music contributes to this being my daughter’s go-to movie this year!

Rylie has come a long way from me bribing her with puffs to smile or look at the camera (or sit still). She is a diva in the making but oh, so sweet. She had lots of ideas on poses and wanted to show me how great she is at twirling. She told me about her new house in Ohio and held my hand as we walked to different spots. She loved helping me find the mountains and the sunset, which she made sure everyone knew we couldn’t miss so we had to hurry and take those photos. I truly had a magical time with her and her family that evening and it just brightened my day to know I’ve been part of her story for 4 years. A huge thank you for continuing to come see me and let me be part of her journey. She is a beautiful little girl, inside and out!
