Why on earth would I think doing an outdoor photo shoot on a nice-ish January day is a good idea?

Especially when the monolithic swingset is singing its siren call tuned to just the right pitch to ensure that Ava will be drawn to it and our photo session will suffer an early death.

Here she is giving us her “That Girl” pose as she walks to her chair.

And, you know, she’s gotta check her lipstick before getting started.

Uh-oh. The Sirens begin their sweet, sweet song.

And off she goes with a skip and a hop…

before being unceremoniously hauled back like a sack ‘o potatoes by Daddy.

We try again…

and again…

before finally accepting the inevitable and getting the best darn shot of the day – totally unposed and unplanned.

P.S. Skirt and hat look familiar?
