Re: "Dad take a picture of my new hair do...."

You have a beautiful daughter there with clearly bags of style! I love the pics of her but I think that if you had access to some plain white paper backdrops she'd be great fun to shoot in a studio context - the leaves are mildly distracting!

It's funny isn't it but youth is so incredibly precious and you don't realise how special it is until it's gone!  Even more incentive to capture it while it's in full bloom!  My daughter is going on 12 and gets more beautiful everyday.   Apart from the fact that I photograph her a lot she has access to ipads, iphones and digital photography that is in essence free so she takes masses of selfies etc too as do all her friends.  My wife and I don't have many great pics of ourselves when younger because film was so expensive you couldn't just fire away at will.  Both of us wish we'd had an able photographer on hand to capture those fleeting years when we were at our best before the 'peaches started sliding deeper into the clotted cream'!!

I do my best in Lightroom to mask the passing of time when I shoot my wife or myself but there's no denying it's much much easier to photograph someone like your daughter and mine!
