Ballerina Moll
My mother in law's sister, Wendy, painted the picture of the ballerina in the first picture - it was a present for when she came out of hospital. Moll's hair came from bittenbefore (bittenbefore.com) who makes the best fur wigs I've ever seen.

I love the soft focus in these. They really give the pictures an old fashions flavor to them.

I love the first one! It just shows how posable she is. It is like sneaking in on a little girl when she is trying to imitate something she sees. Playing make believe. Wonderful!

Love these ballerina photos of Moll. The first one is just great and so atmospheric. I've had a ballerina shoot in the back of my mine for a long time. Guess it comes from the years I spent studying dance. >.<

Everyone else have brought up all the grown up points about these images....(and I agree!)
Your mother in law's sister painted that ballerina so beautifully ~**~*~ and it made such a perfect backdrop/background for Moll....in her ballerina outfit !.... as if you took her to her class...and stayed to take a photo, as she was happily showing you what she can do to impress you ~*~**~*
For some reason, the second photo strikes me as if they are playing hide and seek...under and in the fireplace..(maybe because it's dark)
or a secluded part of the building where they were sharing some private talks...
ps. I love her little leg warmers too ~*~
