1. This photo was taken on the 4th of July after we had dinner. It was so fun to sit on the seawall with my family and watch the waves crash and the sunset.
2. I know this isn’t photography genius but this is so Kate. She is chatting on the phone with my parents while being completely decked out in her fancy outfit :O)
3. I was a little obsessed with leading lines this quarter. We are huge baseball fans in this house! Emma loved going to Kate’s baseball practices and asked each time if she could play too.
4. Do I even have to say why I love this photo? Emma loves her daddy so much!!
5. This photo shows how grown up Kate is looking these days. I wish she would stop growing up! In fact, I asked her once if she would stop growing up and she cried and told me she wanted to grow up :O)

Great shots. I love the first two. Adorable!

Gorgeous set Courtney, all beautiful photos and so creative. Your girls are so gorgeous!
What an amazing collection of photos! I love leading lines too.
I love them all so beautiful :)
HEHEHE…..I can’t believe Kate cried when you asked her not to grow up.
I adore the photo of Emma with her daddy. Sooo sweet. I have always been so close to my dad, so it is sweet to see the daddy/daughter relationship through photos.
I just love your set.
Your little girl in Heels LOVE IT! If I wore heels (ha) My little girl would have them right on. It is so amazing to see how they grow right before our eyes. While looking at my pictures I can see especially how my little girl has grown just from January till now. SIGH… that’s why I got to keep clicking!
I love the second picture of her all dressed up in mommy’s shoes. That will be one to treasure as she gets older.
Courtney, the first photo is simply stunning! Great job!
Great shots, I really like all of them but the first 3 i love!
I LOVE that first photo! I think it should be printed on a big canvas and hanging on a wall for sure!
I love that first shot on the seawall! It’s such a gorgeous background to compliment the girls!

Imprevsise brain power at work! Great answer!
Your pictures are so fun. Love the dress-up one. Thanks for hosting this link up. This is the first I’ve participated in and will plan to do more as they come up.
Love all your photos! Beautiful, beautiful collection! I so adore the 1st and 3rd ones!:)
These are so wonderful, Courtney! I absolutely adore that 2nd shot.
I apologize, mine linked up twice!
Loving everyone’s entries!
My entry posted twice. Is there a way that you can delete one of them?
No problem, Gretchen! We’ll delete it :O)
Your photos are always such a pleasure to look at. Those b/w shots are perfection. I especially love the moment you captured of Emma with her daddy. :)
My first time joining in on this and so very excited! So incredibly difficult to narrow it to just 5 and I picked some less traditional pictures than I normally would have.
As always, I love your Top 5 and am continually inspired by your talent. Thank you for hosting this forum and sponsoring the giveaway; you girls are awesome. This has become my favorite thing to participate in during my 365 journey, and I look forward to the end of each quarter just so I can compose my post and showcase my Top 5, so thank you.
I love them all! Your photos have so much personality! Such perfect memories for your girls :)
These are all so wonderful! I love the second photo – with the phone and high heel shoes. Such a sweet moment captured forever.
The #2 photo of Kate is just priceless :) It reminds me of our oldest daughter–she is very much a girly girl and LOVES dressing up :)
Oh my goodness, I almost forgot about this link up. Forgot we just went another 3 months of this year. Not sure what made me think to come over and check it out. Glad I didn’t miss the linkup date. will have to work on my post.
The first shot is really cute, but I think the second shot is priceless. Such a sweetie wanting to be all grown up.
Oh, I’m glad you didn’t miss it! Looking forward to seeing your shots!
These are all gorgeous but I’m in LOVE with that second shot. Adorable!
Thanks for hosting the fun :)

No problem :O) We’ll take care of it! Thanks for linking up :O)
