After giving up with Grace's crazy hair, I wanted to try some photos with Yvette. I'd brought her along as well thinking her blue gown would look beautiful in all the blue flowers. I was looking around for something interesting, and Mikey suggested by some 'trees', so I chose a spot with her back to the sun.... I was going to change my position and put my camera down. Mikey picked up my camera and took some closer up photos of her.... I love them, and was actually feeling a bit jealous that I hadn't taken them myself.... I tried a new position, and was caught setting up.... This time Yvette was facing into the sun, and I had to be careful to have her face either all in shade or all in sun - definitely not with branches shaded partly over her face. Problem was, with her pale 'normal' resin, she just seemed so blown out in the sun.... Close-ups in the sun did nothing for her... So, after picking her up out of the 'woods' I took a few more with her back to the sun.... Much better!

Yvette is beautiful. I love her among the flowers. I felt like she was a magical princess and the flowers painted themselves her favorite colors to honor her.
