Flower Face

I just love this photo! If only I could get her to smile so sweetly all the time.

As much as I enjoy painting faces, I equally love taking the photo at the end. It has to be just right, the background, her hair, her clothes... maybe I am a bit obsessed. The thing with face painting is it never lasts forever, you are often lucky if it last an hour. It's only a matter of time until they want something to eat, the start rolling around the floor, rubbing their eyes. It is always hard when you have to wash it off before bedtime, all that time and love put into it, just washed down the sink. At least with a photo it can be remembered forever.
