She freely gave out smiles, laughs, and at times was mesmerized by the click of the camera. But, mostly, she just loved playing with her best buddies, Mom and Dad.<br /><br /><img "="" height="426" src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6055/6364113227_a52095018a_z.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br /><img height="426" src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6042/6364113491_bdec48d1aa_z.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br /><img height="426" src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6239/6364113351_e869c2886e_z.jpg" width="640" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6249169214637196347-8396096510565229861?l=ie-photo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>IlluminEssence Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08918882399224619976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249169214637196347.post-57105545208964510992011-10-12T01:54:00.000-07:002011-10-12T01:54:48.953-07:00<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This adorable little one was the highlight of my Saturday morning as she ran around talking and singing and playing.
