Almost Her Birthday

Tonight we celebrate Clara's 9th birthday, though her actual birthday is next week.

This kid is growing up!

It breaks my heart that she doesn't smile showing her teeth anymore.

My baby is certainly not a baby anymore!

[Jane Anderson]

A beautiful person, portrait and composition with the reflection!

What a beautiful almost-birthday portrait, Amanda! Clara is looking more and more like you. Such fun to watch her growing up via 365. The no-teeth-smile is also lovely, so don't despair!

[Lou Ann]

Clara is so pretty. She sure looks like you, Amanda. This is a sweet capture of your sweet girl.

[Henri Russell]

She is so pretty. It seems they all go through a stage of not showing their teeth.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Beautiful portrait of this young lady.

The smile with teeth will return at some point. Happy b’day celebrations. A lovely portrait.

I so feel like I have watched her grow up. Even to the point of recognizing you because I knew Clara! Please tell her Happy Birthday from us.

She reminds me of you in so many ways. This is a beautiful portrait of her and her smile. I love the reflection too.

[Thom Mitchell]

Beautiful B&W portrait! The reflection is a clever idea!
(We were fortunate that the aliens beamed our daughters back after the awkward stages with the alien children!)
