The most beautiful girl in the world...

Or one of them at the very least! I actually talked my 12 year old into doing a photo shoot with me, and I was so excited! Here are some of my favorites from the shoot:
Look at those incredible blue eyes:

Love this soft and sweet smile:

 Trying some posing techniques with the hands (it felt a little silly since she's only 12)

 Love all of the light in her eyes(and that smile!)

 I tried some fun lens flare here:

 Some more posing practice and her "model pout":

 I like that she still looks 12 in this one-even though it's a little on the hazy side, it may be my favorite of the day!

I found (via Two Peas In A Bucket and Jill) the most fantastic resource for learning photography, and it's FREE:  Youtube! Here is a tutorial on Eye Placement in photographs, and lots more great  tutorial videos.
