I call her Beauty. And my Love Love.
Before this little girl became my daughter I didn't realize how much I would enjoy the ribbons and the bows. All the frills and the pink. Ivy LaRue is The Picture Princess. It's in her name, it's in her eyes. It's in my heart.
I'd love to fill Ivy's closet with every one of the little girls and girls dresses from shabby baby (and my closet longs for a shabby apple wardrobe, too!)
This is our entry into a sweet little contest that would be so very fun to win.
These gorgeous photos mean so much to me and are by Beth Fletcher Photography.

She is darling, Stef. Just darling. And I don't want to use your comments to promote myself, but do want to tell you that on my blog from today until Wed has a chance to win some beautiful dresses

ReplyDeletelove the flowery headband :-) so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh, she has to win this. These are just AMAZING pics. She IS a princess!
ReplyDeleteShe is so beautiful! What a little living doll! I never liked the pink and ribbons until I had a girl..but just when I started liking them, she stopped! That's my little tomgirl!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing eyes your baby girl has!! =)
ReplyDeleteI had a baby girl first. So when my son was born and I went looking for cute boy clothes I was very disappointed. No two ways about it, it's way more fun to dress little girls. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself with Ivy's clothes. :)
ReplyDeleteShe's one gorgeous baby girl and those are absolutely beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeletewow, she is adorable!...I love those eyes!
ReplyDeleteshe is too much! such a fashionista, and so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteA-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!! Love these pics!! Beth does an AMAZING job! Ivy is so precious! Good luck with the contest! Ivy is such the little model princess!
ReplyDeleteLove those eyes! What a little princess.
ReplyDeleteOh the preciousness. I can barely take it...
ReplyDeleteAh! So sweet. You have such great professional shots of your kids -- better than the typical studio. And of course Ivy is a beautiful subject!
ReplyDeleteI just found out one of my close friends is having a girl. I can't wait to go shopping for her!!
ReplyDeleteShe is just precious! I love the big ruffley tutu.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a sweet pettiskirt! My favorite picture of Ivy is the first. Luv it!
ReplyDeleteI love that first pic how she has her bottom lip tucked in, Eden does that too! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope Ivy wins.

(I am NOT a stalker. I am NOT a stalker. Say it with me, Steph: "Christine is not a stalker...")
ReplyDeleteBut I did dream about you last night.
Not so much you, but lil' miss Ivy.
(Say it again, "Christine is not a stalker...")
It was Ivy and you and me and we were havin' a grand ol' time at some conference. And I got to take care of Ivy while you took care of business. And Ivy's hair was blonde (huh?!) and curly.
But she still had the face I've come to love seeing almost daily.
And you were sweet as I remember when I met you fleetingly at BlogHer 08. When Ivy was still a stowaway...
Then I was awakened abruptly from brushing my cheek against Ivy's wonderful-smelling head. My husband forgot to spring-forward his clock (a little late in the game, I know). So I heard WHAT TIME IS IT?! And he flew out of bed taking half the sheets with him. And my sweet dream of Ivy was cut short...
So there you go: almost creepy to read, I'm sure, but what do you expect from your readers when our eyes are graced with such buttery cuteness every day??!
And in spite of this post, PLEASE don't cut me off.
(And please continue: "Christine is not a stalker. Unstable, maybe, but not a stalker...")
Oh, gorgeous! I especially love the first and third ones! Beth does incredible work...and your Ivy is an ideal model.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Her eyes just glow! I think she melts a lot of hearts. Being her mom has got to be over the top! How it should be!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I call my little girl my "love love" too!
ReplyDeleteYeah - it's so easy to get sucked right in to the pink and frills. I completely understand!
ReplyDeletewow.
ReplyDeleteoh, I soooo understand this post. Having two boys, I never even thought about ribbons or bows until my daughter was born. Ivy is simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love love love these pics! The pettiskirt is so gorgeous that I am drooling over it!
ReplyDeleteHaving a girl is sooooo fun! She is a princess.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!
