samantha's first "attempt"

welp, samantha's photo shoot was not as successful as kirsten's and addy's. we didn't get great weather for samantha's photo shoot and i was hoping the rose garden would have more blossoms since everything else has bloomed early. any ways, i got a few good ones but i think we will try again. none of these really do her justice; i feel. samantha's personality is hard to explain because she is kind of a contradiction. she is very elegant and ladylike while also being very adventurous and playful. she is level headed, respectable, and well mannered but also not afraid to get her hands or pinafore dirty. so i just feel these pix are too generic for her character. i'd love to hear what you think.

btw most of these have been touched up because it was so cloudy and gloomy that the lighting was very dull in the pictures. poop. 

i took my four year old niece with me and we did several group shots with her three favorite dollies :) i thought you might enjoy seeing some of those too lol

here is bitty, cheerleader, and rosie with samantha. i love the names she's given her dolls :) hehehe 

 

it was a fun day, just didn't meet my high expectations as far as the photo quality goes. not to mention we were ready to do rebecca's too but a storm came, sad.

so out of these pictures of samantha do you have any favs?

p.s. thanks for your feedback on the addy's and kirsten's. i have been considering all your comments.
