You might remember Mia, Jillian’s friend from preschool.  Today I got Mia and her mom all to myself for a whirlwind photo session through Castro Valley!  I met them at the community center after Mia’s dance class and we took advantage of some of the huge trees outside…not to mention the gorgeous sunny day.

From there we headed over to an empty parking lot.  Vanessa shares my love for urban grunge, so I was in heaven!  Mia changed into an adorable little cupcake outfit for this part of the session.

I love the shadow play in this shot…you can even see her pigtails!

To end our session we went by the Rite Aid parking lot for a little jump in the puddles.  It wasn’t raining today, but we did find a residual puddle!

I’m loving the reflections on this one…

And finally into the loading dock for some more grunge… (I think Mia’s still eyeing the puddle!)

Vanessa and Mia- it was so much fun hanging out with you guys this morning!  These are just a FEW of my favorites…I can’t wait to show you the rest!!
