Little Princess Explores the Secret Garden

Or my cutest photobomber ever. I went to Spring Grove Cemetery this weekend with a friend to enjoy a photowalk through the lovely spring blooms.

It was hopping with photographers and weddings and portrait shoots. A perfect day.

This little girl was with her little sister (in a matching dress) and they were getting their photos done. I was shooting this scene and she ran into it, drawn to the pink blossoms...as I was.

Loved the addition of the girl, though. It made my scene so much better, like a page from a storybook.
So lovely and beautiful! FAV

I was wondering what you meant about the girl. Sometimes photos do not open 100% on here. Glad I came back to this one. Great shot, Amanda. She looks like she is looking at the world with eyes wide open. A wonderful photo bomb. FAV

I wanted to take the time to thank you all so much for your lovely comments and faves on this special shot. It's special as it is one of my favorite kinds as it tells a story. And making it more special is that it was unplanned, unset up and really a case of a photobombing gone really right. So wish I had gotten the little girls parents email address to send this to them. So wish the little girl was one of my girls (as it would be more dear to me). This is one of my favorite of my photos and I am so pleased that you liked it, too. Thank you!
