Scarlett

Meet Miss Scarlett.

Love her name, just love it. If I had a girl, she could very well be named this! I have been a huge "Gone with the Wind" fan my entire life. I have collected everything from Madame Alexander dolls featuring the characters, to calendars, to actual photo prints from the making of the movie, and more. My grandma Mama actually sewed me a pretty elaborate green taffeta and silk 'Scarlett dress' so I could be her for Halloween when I was about 8. A few years ago my mom and I went to a GWTW presentation where I got to meet Cammie King, the actress who played Bonnie in the movie. I have a signed lithograph from her from that day. I also have a Radko Christmas ornament signed by Olivia de Havilland. Ok, I could go on.

And my husband wonders where I got my "missy-ness" from. He hasn't EVER seen the movie. So missing out, but the only thing he'll watch for 4 consecutive hours is college football. Fiddle-de-dee!





All of these photos were taken on round 2. She is about 2 1/2 weeks here. We tried the first time at 8 days, but she was NOT having it. And I'm serious. We tried for 3.5 hours. Yes, really. I have never, ever seen a newborn baby stay awake that long! Her poor mommy, who is our babysitter, was so frustrated. And for good reason! I guess you can't have a name like Scarlett and be a wallflower!


This time she finally conked out and we were able to do quite a bit with her in my new studio.






I think she looks like a little Easter egg here!

A couple sweet Mommy n Me shots and we called it a day!
