She asked us, “How do you smile for pictures?”
So we showed her.
And she did this.
The focal point caught her hair, but I don’t care.
This is so her right now, and so so beautiful to me.

Seriously, T, take my breath away why don’t you!
i love shots when the focus is just off. You taught me to let go of that technically perfect shot and love the moment captured. Now I have many prints of my children like this and I tell you they are my favorite. I almost prefer it. Lovely, my dear.
Wow wow wow. Funny how a single picture of someone else’s child can take your breath away and make you glossy eyed. So beautiful.

Tara, I have read your blog for about 4 years now and have rarely commented. But today…today I have to comment! SHE IS GORGEOUS!! Love, Love, Love this picture of her…and has anyone told you she looks just like you???
I too am the mother of a special needs child…actually he is a young adult now. He is 28 years old. And he does not take pictures very well…will NOT smile when I point the camera on him. And then one day…one day…I caught him in an unguarded moment and the pictures I took that day I will cherish forever because it shows his true spirit.
From One Mom of a Special Child to Another…HUGS!!
GORGEOUS!!! :)
Wow! That is a great picture and you are so right, she is so so beautiful!

Beautiful. I hope you don’t take this the wrong way…but she looks peaceful, not locked away inside. This is the first picture of her that I’ve seen posted that looks like she is emerging. She is so beautiful.
