{more love} Aspiring Photographer

In February, Lulu decided she wanted to be a photographer when she grew up (along with preschool teacher, dance teacher, mom, etc, etc, etc).  Anyway, she took possession of my camera for the day and had a blast.  She set up a photo shoot and pretended her stuffed animals were her customers who brought their children (other dolls/stuffed animals) to have their picture taken.  I scrapped this LO to remember the joy:

After the joy this elicited from her little five-year-old body, we asked Ashley if Lulu could have her old camera.  Ashley agreed.  Today Lulu wanted her camera and kept herself quite busy.  I heard her say repeatedly, "Do you want your picture taken?".  As I was never actually heard a response I wasn't sure the exact pictures taken.  Until tonight.  I was clearing of the memory stick in anticipation of our BIG DAY when I saw some adorable pics I just had to share.  This is a collage of pictures she has taken during the last few months.  Notice she enjoys using a blanket as a backdrop.  Where did she get this idea?  I believe from my adorable friend Heather.  We went to Heather's house in December to have our family pictures taken.  Heather had set up a studio in her front room, so when Lulu takes pictures of her friends she sets up a studio as well.  The picture of Buddy and I was staged, in other words she positioned us and gave us props to wear.  She is a serious photographer.  Take a look...(click on the picture to see it larger)
