Since then she's had a mixture of 'didn't like' and 'like/love' it pictures. The first school pic from first grade was a 'didn't like' and I sent it back for retakes. I loved the retake picture and was so happy wit it! I thought she looked adorable with all 4 of her front teeth missing and a genuine smile!
Then she had the spring pictures (why are there 2 sets of pictures anyway? I don't remember taking pictures two times throughout the school year.)
When she got home from school and I saw that telltale school picture envelope in her back pack I did what I've been accustomed to doing - I held my breath before turning it over. I can't help it. I just have no idea how she's going look for her school picture; especially since she started perfecting a very obvious non-smile by clenching her teeth together.
So when I turned over the envelope and saw her picture through the window I admit I gasped a little bit. I know I'm biased because I'm her mom and all ... but I just thought it was such a beautiful picture of her. She looks more mature somehow. And compared to the earlier school picture you can see her teeth growing in :) Now I don't know which picture I like better!

So beautiful!
THAT is a stunning picture of Kayla, she looks so grown up and beautiful...
That's a GORGEOUS picture!! Beautiful, beautiful Kayla. :-) Samantha cries on picture day, and we are always ready for a good laugh when those envelopes come home. Hope that changes soon...
She's beautiful! Wonderful school picture!
Not biased - GREAT picture!
I've yet to see a bad pic of Kayla, is that possible???? But that one is a KEEPER! So beautiful! I don't usually expect too much from school pics, but whoever took that one did a great job.
Awwwww..... :)
Julianna's the cutest kid ever in motion, but it can be tough to catch her in a still shot looking like she really looks. I feel bad sometimes, but I don't want all these pictures of her hanging around where her DS is obvious--because that isn't how she looks in reality. Sometimes I feel like a terrible, bigoted parent for saying that, but it really is just b/c it's DIFFERENT from how she looks in action. Does anyone else find that?
What a great picture!
She looks so pretty and yes, more grown up. Time passes so fast each minute is precious :)
Aww, she does look more mature (which makes me realize how fast she's growing up) but she's as beautiful as always.

What an awesome picture!!
It is so beautiful! I am with you about the school pictures and Zach's spring pictures came out so wonderful too! I cant wait to post them (I sent back the ones they sent, I wanted a different background)
She is ALWAYS gorgeous! I love it when they have those big teeth growing in - my eldest has that at the moment too.
Beautiful!! and yes, so grown up!! and mature.. pretty and gorgeous! I like this picture... love grandma
Love it- beautiful and my she's grown! You are biased but also accurate!
Aww, that's a great picture!! She is truly beautiful and she does look more mature. It's funny how much our kids can change in just a few months.
She's gorgeous and definitely looks more mature in this shot.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! LOVE!

It is a gorgeous picture. I can absolutely see why you loved it so. And yes, I do remember the runny nose picture from preschool. I admit that I recall it so well because you asked on the blog something to the effect of why couldn't they see she needed to wipe her nose, or something like that. I thought it was so little kid, but so mom to know that I would think the same thing! Thank goodness no runny nose in this one! HOORAY!
such a cute picture! I agree - she looks older
That IS a great pic! Looking at the camera is something my girls just will NOT do. I also am dreading school pics in our years to come...
She looks very grown up, and not fake, just relaxed and owning the photo shoot! :o)
Your daughter is lovely.
