Now I know what you are thinking. What's the big deal...a little girl is getting her hair braided, is this blog worthy? YUP! If you knew my little niece "Sparky Ming Ming", you would understand. Meleah is not a girly girly by any stretch of the imagination. Most of her friends are boys, with a few girls. Some of her favorite toys include Spiderman, Transformers & cars. She does not however, like dolls, wearing dresses or playing house etc. She is one of a kind, and I love her uniqueness!
So it was a huge surprise one night when I was over visiting and just happened to have my camera with me that she let her mom braid her hair. I didn't think that Sparky Ming Ming could get any cuter and then she did!
Below is Meleah when she looks to see her braids for the first time. She
told me "they don't look that bad!". I couldn't believe it!
What a little sweetheart!

Little Ashley was all dressed up and ready for her "Semi" dance, and wanted to celebrate this special time with some photos to make it more memorable!
I had met Ashley a few months back when she did an Everyone is Beautiful Session. It was so amazing to hang out with her again on such a special occasion! Ashley wore a turquoise sweet dress, and silver ballerina slippers...for a while. We decided that we would add some character to the photos and add her green converse shoes.
So now I am posting this Blogshow on her 13th Birthday. She is growing up into a beautiful girl and I am glad that I was able to capture the last few months! Happy 13th Birthday Ashley!
When I asked Ashley for 5 favorite "ROCKIN' Random" things she responded with the following in this order:
1 - Llamas
2 - Shopping
3 - Hockey
4 - Basketball
5 - Soccer

You know I believe in fate and everything happens for a reason; oh and that certain people come into your life for a certain reason. I believe it all. Ashley is the 12 year old daughter of one of my funnest new friends. SueAnne and I were placed together on a work project. From that point on I knew it was meant to be. We talk in code, share lunch's and check what each other is wearing the next day. Yes, I know it seems like we are in school. We also pass notes, by email of course. She has introduced me to her whole family and I have spent a week with her and some of them in Cuba this past April. I think the world of her and was lucky enough to be asked to photograph her daughter a few weekends ago. Ashley is a fun younger version of her mom. Watch for Ashley's semi prom pics to be posted soon.
