Facebook is being a little weird and not sharing my posts, and I have a gazillion gorgeous photos from Lacie's session, so time for a blog post! Lacie's mom contacted me a while back to let me know she'd like to plan a session with Lacie. Fall crept past, and then holidays, and then winter set in -- but this summer was the perfect time to meet and capture some photographs of Lacie.

I love how these pictures demonstrate the beautiful person Lacie is growing up to be, but also still capture her fun-loving persona!

We used my favorite location for the shoot:

But we also added some patriotic elements since the session was July 3 ... and yes, it felt like it! It was hot and humid outside, but you would never know by looking at Lacie (me on the other hand: hot mess ;) ).

The hat provided a little shade for a few minutes!

And nothing like fresh grapes for a little refreshment!

Look how cool and collected Lacie is!
