spring birthday girl {gabriella}

14 years and 364 days ago, while driving in the car, alex said…tomorrow is the first day of spring,
and that’s when all the baby animals are born, so our baby will be born too.
i explained that ‘our baby’ still had 2 weeks or so to go…so, probably not.
on the very next day, the first day of spring, ‘our baby’ was {of course} born.

that sweet faced, good natured, gentle, happy, forever smiling gabriella is
15 today and is still the same sweet, gentle, happy, funny, loving, beautiful girl.
i could not imagine our lives without her light.

we went to the studio to just play with the amazing light and a pretty pink dress.
i hadn’t intended to use these as her birthday images, but the light, the softness, the sweetness and the beauty
resonate perfectly with my gabriella.
