Beautiful Maiden
Canon 5D Mark ll, 50 1.2L, 2.0 aperture, 1/250 shutter, 100 ISO
Sometimes I think she is from another time, my Katie girl. In fact to really enjoy these photos, you should click here to listen to the soundtrack from Pride and Prejudice, the 2005 film. She looks to me like she stepped right out of that period in time, or at least off the movie set. She truly is a classic beauty.
This is what we decided to do with the lovely flowers that were left over from my Parbella shoot. My friend Denise Myers of Truso Weddings procured them for me. They were so lovely, and quite unused. Seems little girls like bubbles better than flowers.:)
I envisioned my romantic daughter Katie holding them at sunset in a long flowing dress (that she brought back from Spain), and that is exactly what I got! I hope you enjoy these of my lovely Katie.
But first, my favorite line from Pride and Prejudice ( the 2005 movie). If you will, envision Mr. Darcy coming up out of the fog, in a long black overcoat with great intention. His focus is on his Elizabeth.
Mr Darcy: “You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.”
After he speaks his peace with her, the sun rises and shines directly between them as they kiss. Sigh. Perfection.
And now, a few more of my own 18th century beauty.

These are gorgeous! Katie is beautiful – all three of your children are. Soft beauty is my favorite. I see a lot of you in her.
Thank you, Angela! I can say the same of your three. Stunning, beautiful babies! 🙂
Feels like she grew up too soon.
“Not yet! . . . cause I want to visit you for a minute.”
very beautiful!!!
Mary, you need to start writing movie scripts! You could do it. Katie is beautiful as always.
Absolutely lovely.
When you take pictures of nature, I always see the worship going up. And when you take pictures of family, I see the love passed down. When you combine them both, I get a glimpse of the Father’s love for us.
Thanks for taking us all on this wonderful journey this year.
Absolutely love these. The field, the sun, the dress, the hair. Beautiful.
Mary Anne, you bring tars to my eyes with your lovey pictures and your words. Thanks you for making my day just a little bit brighter. You indeed are a gift.
Beautiful shots of Katie! She’s truly is a timeless beauty… and I love Pride and Prejudice! 🙂
