gorgeous, all three of them!

Posted by: Mama DB at April 20, 2008 2:53 PM

Beautiful!

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.

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.

Posted by: Suebob at April 20, 2008 6:16 PM

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.

Posted by: Pam at April 20, 2008 6:21 PM

She's gorgeous!!!

Great pics! Glad u r finding ways to fight the depression, its inspiring.

Posted by: christna at April 20, 2008 6:27 PM

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.

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.

Posted by: Hay at April 20, 2008 6:35 PM

I see others have mentioned modeling, but seriously.... that girl will break hearts one day. :)

Posted by: Cassie at April 20, 2008 7:26 PM

Love these photos. Love them -- they're perfect. Make some cards, would you?

(and I just wrote a post for you.)

Posted by: Wacky Mommy at April 20, 2008 7:47 PM

That is a beautful child.

Posted by: Diane Clausen at April 20, 2008 8:12 PM

Those are really beautiful, Y.

Posted by: stepher at April 20, 2008 8:43 PM

Even I feel better now. :)

Posted by: Mr Lady at April 20, 2008 10:18 PM

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. ;)

Posted by: daniel at April 21, 2008 12:40 AM

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.

Posted by: Kristina at April 21, 2008 3:29 AM

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....

Posted by: Kelley at April 21, 2008 4:19 AM

you've got an excellent eye with the camera, girl! keep shooting- i'm so glad you found something to enjoy!

Posted by: chris at April 21, 2008 4:21 AM

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!

Posted by: alice at April 21, 2008 7:27 AM

Your pictures are awesome and OMG your daughter is absolutely gorgeous and looking so grown up!

Posted by: Jeanette at April 21, 2008 8:06 AM

Tell that baby to stop growing. She looks so BIG KID these days.

Posted by: Kyla at April 21, 2008 8:24 AM

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

Posted by: Lisa at April 21, 2008 9:07 AM

Posted by: Sally at April 21, 2008 9:12 AM

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.

Posted by: Caroline at April 21, 2008 9:29 AM

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!

Posted by: Emily at April 21, 2008 9:37 AM

You do take wonderful pictures, Y.

Posted by: lani at April 21, 2008 4:56 PM

You have a fuckin gift, Yvonne. Seriously. Keep it up.

Posted by: Christine at April 21, 2008 11:05 PM

Beautiful! Thanks for posting these.

Posted by: Kim at April 22, 2008 6:43 AM

Great photos!

Posted by: Beckie at April 22, 2008 10:20 AM

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!

Posted by: Kim at April 22, 2008 3:04 PM

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.

Posted by: Christine at April 23, 2008 8:26 AM

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!

Posted by: The Aitch at April 26, 2008 11:37 PM

Title these, "Living"
you have a fabulous eye (actually, probably 2 of them)

Posted by: The Over-Thinker at April 29, 2008 5:12 PM

Your little girl is so naturally beautiful. She seems like a bit of a spitfire--what a gift!

Posted by: Spirophita at May 1, 2008 8:53 AM

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

Posted by: Susan Getgood at May 1, 2008 7:08 PM

me, too. And I love the colors in that third photo.

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 10 year old son and a 3 girl who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
