sweet little jada

after another major overhaul on computer equipment and now in the throes of  house-hunting,  i’m hopelessly behind on blog posts, and no longer deluding myself into believing that i’ll manage to get every client sneak peek up on the blog these days.  still, i’m going to try to get at least a few of my clients’ shoots up on the blog to share.

one little girl in particular left a lasting impression … meet sweet Jada …

i swear i wanted to snatch up this 11-year-old dollface and take her home for morley.

and for 11, she sure is a firecracker …

in fact, Jada’s owners were aiming for a strictly indoor shoot because it was that sloppy time of the spring where everything was melting, but i persisted.  and when i showed Jada’s mom this money-shot in the LCD i think she finally agreed that heading outdoors had probably been a pretty good idea after all.  :)

… along with a few classic poses, of course.

and indoors, Jada was a consumate poser … putting even my two models at home to shame.

.. and with mom and dad …

but when this girl goes down for the count, she goes down.

thank you for an awesome shoot, Jada.  and Jenny and Blair, hugs to your fantastic little girl.

    Oh these are SO good. The one of Jada on the lap of the couple is FANTASTIC. I love that one. She’s a lovely looking dog too. Hard to believe she’s 11!

    These are spectacular shots, illona! Jada is a gorgeous, wonderful girl, and her parents aren’t bad-looking, either. ;-)
    That group shot is a treasure - really needs to be framed and displayed on their wall.

    Love all the pictures. They are so beautiful. Wish I have your job LOL. Anyway what breed is this? Is it an American Cocker Spaniel?
