Happy Birthday to Claire!

Best birthday wishes to Miss Claire, who turned 3 on Easter Sunday. I don't know who had more fun at her birthday shoot, Claire or me. She makes me want to be a little girl again...

We started out taking photos in and around her room. Claire was dressed in a beautiful pink confection, perfect for all of her girlie adventures.

Meet the birthday girl:

Oh to be a little girl with dreams of becoming a ballerina or a princess...

And for as much as Claire is a little lady, she can wrench with the best of them! Amongst the tea sets, dolls and dress up clothes was a little truck, complete with tool kit. And Claire wasn't afraid to use her power tools! This is a girl after my own heart...
After some playtime upstairs, we had a wardrobe change and headed outdoors to a beautiful park across the street. Claire wasted no time running around the green grass in her beautiful birthday/Easter dress. How could you not have fun out here?

We spent some time photographing at a spot that has very special meaning for Claire's family. It is the spot that their beloved dog, Taka, used to spend a lot of time. Claire found some leaves to play with and then showed me her sweet little smile.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday sweet Claire
Happy Birthday to you!
