i got in the car after my session with Madeline and was instantly thrilled to be having a new girl in my life soon.
Madeline and her family were so much fun to document and spend a few hours with amongst the falling leaves in Capitol Park. over the years, i’ve heard much about this little girl from her mama and what a hoot she has come to be at the ripe old ago of three. let me tell you, she lived up to the expectation.
on the big grey steps of the grand old Capitol building sat the cutest little thing in a red pea coat and cap. be still my heart. we spent the remainder of the afternoon following her lead and chasing her around the grounds. she even got to snap a few photos of her mom and dad with me. i’m so lucky this little one is not mine because i would have the hardest time ever telling that sweet little face “no”. i was putty in her hands and every beckon call, i came a running.
oh Miss Madeline, “you had me at hello…”
