All in white portraits....She's stunning!!!

I just received her pictures online (bought the rights) and HAD to show them off! She was just stunning in all white with the white background. I had them made on her actual birthday so I would always know exactly how she looked when she turned one......I still can't believe this angel is mine!!!!! Enjoy!

She is absolutely adorable... Where did you get the pictures taken? They did a good job! She looks like a regular model.

The pictures were done at Target

You can get a whole package for only $8.99 and that includes an extra 8 x 10, or you can get individual sheets for $4.99 each. They have a printable coupon on their site.....I am thrilled with these (and the fact that she was so cooperative and also kept the headband on!)....

I keep flipping back and forth between the first one, which is breathtaking and the last one which is so fantastic and unique. All are great and she is amazing but darn those are fabulous.
