Your daughter has personality enough for three people in that picture. If there was an America’s Next Toddler Model (which is kind of a sick thought, but nonetheless), she could totally rock it.
My God! The lips on that child. Angelina has nothing on her. Y, when you look at that face, are you just a little scared? And is Tony polishing his gun? She’s, whoa, just amazing.
Great pics! Glad u r finding ways to fight the depression, its inspiring.

I’m with Pam, the lips are incredible. She is absolutely beautiful. It’s a good thing she’s got older brothers to fend off all the guys who will be knocking on the door in ten years.
gorhl you are gonna have your hands full with that child when she hits the teens. she is pretty gorgeous right there…. just like mama. 😉

Awww Y she’s getting so grown up and she’s so beautiful. I really love sunflowers too, you are good with that camera. Keep it up girl. I hope you’re feeling better. Lots of hugs and love from Texas.
In what is an otherwise really really rotten day for me, that top picture of the flower is beautiful and made me happy…thank you

I’ve totally been a lurker for a while now, but I just thought I’d let you know I absolutely love/admire your pictures.
Wow these are beautiful! This is the kind of thing I see and want to take pics of but when I actually do they never look as stunning as this (and my thumbs probably over the lense!) Great photos!
People, it’s not the camera, it’s Y’s great eye for composition, color, etc. She’s fabulous.
A digital SLR has wonderful benefits, but if you don’t know what to shoot and how to shoot it, you won’t get the end-result you desire.

girl, you are really getting goo000ood at the photo taking skillz. Now you can add that to your list of skillz, right after your nunchuku skills, bow hunting skills & computer hacking skills….HAHA!!!1**
I even like what you’re doing with the cropping and processing.
**Lordy please tell me you’re a napoloan dynamite fan!
gorgeous, all three of them!
Beautiful!

If I didn’t think it would ruin your daughter’s life, I would say “Get that child a modeling contract!” And I hate kids, so that is saying something.

I just had to come out of lurkdom to say, wow, you have serious talent with the camera. The bokeh background in the last shot is to die for.
I see others have mentioned modeling, but seriously…. that girl will break hearts one day. 🙂
Love these photos. Love them — they’re perfect. Make some cards, would you?
(and I just wrote a post for you.)
That is a beautful child.
Those are really beautiful, Y.
Even I feel better now. 🙂

That last one reminds me of Christmas here in Australia. I don’t know why…
Gorgeous photos, so jealous cause I can’t work my stupid useless camera….
you’ve got an excellent eye with the camera, girl! keep shooting- i’m so glad you found something to enjoy!
Those are great shots! I’m glad that you’re still finding a way to use your eye even when the rest of life is sucking. Thanks for sharing them!
Your pictures are awesome and OMG your daughter is absolutely gorgeous and looking so grown up!
Tell that baby to stop growing. She looks so BIG KID these days.

You do take wonderful pictures, Y.
You have a fuckin gift, Yvonne. Seriously. Keep it up.
Beautiful! Thanks for posting these.
Great photos!
Love these! PLEEEEEEEZ! Can you tell me what kind of camera you use? I am shopping for a new one right now. I. Need. Advice!

Title these, “Living”
you have a fabulous eye (actually, probably 2 of them)
Your little girl is so naturally beautiful. She seems like a bit of a spitfire–what a gift!
These are wonderful, esp. the pic of your daughter. I love the one in the later post too — after she messed with your make-up
me, too. And I love the colors in that third photo.
Interesting to know.
Well written article.
