The Daisy Photo, Volume 8
Sometimes I have good ideas. Way back in 2006, I definitely had one of them. I grabbed a then six-month old Alexis and a huge handful of daisies from our yard. We set out for the mall and had some photos taken.
We've done the same thing every year since. Alexis + daisies + white sundress. (There was a white sundress the first year. It's just not in the photo.)

The only thing that has really changed over time is that I stopped paying someone else to take the photos. I was perfectly happy with the results before the switch, but the process was often painful.
There was no pain this year. Absolutely none.
Next year is going to be hell, isn't it?

Love it. Her hair is amazing in this year's photo.
You done good.
She is beautiful. I cannot believe how grown up she is.
I am so jealous of her hair. When I was that age, my curly hair was so unruly and untamable. She is definitely lucky.
Every year gets better and better. Beautiful...and such a great idea!! I can almost imagine her in this pic at 16!! :)
Beautiful! She really looks self-assured this year, Mom. Watch out! :)
Wow. The new one is my favorite. So beautiful. Scarily mature.
Gorgeous!
Oh, and the curls. I love the curls!
This is my favorite by far! Beautiful photo!
She looks more radiant, more confident, more...mischievous! with each year. Look out, mama... ;-)
I think I've said this before, but this is such a great idea. I wish I had thought of it!
Beautiful pics. All of them.
Such an awesome idea, and a very beautiful picture. She looks very grown up!
No more growing up...but so beautiful. :)
Love this idea! <3
