Chinese New Year is on February 3rd this year. Wow, that's just 9 days away!
Yesterday morning I was telling Lilah that the Chinese Zodiac Animal for 2011 is the rabbit. And then I made a suggestion: "Wouldn't it be nice to wear your bunny ears and I'll paint you a pink nose and whiskers? Listen, I did not have to repeat or beg. She was SO excited! Don't think I've ever pulled a 'photoshoot' off as well as that before! So I slipped her into her pink qípáo, same one as she wore to the reception at the Chinese Embassy in September. Might I add, the dress is a size 4 and is creeping up her legs like crazy, now if I washed it I would totally blame myself, but I didn't!
And then while I was taking her picture, I gave her 'The Velveteen Rabbit' book off the shelf and it was a seriously big hit for her. And by doing that, I got some of my favourite shots.

What a cute idea! I love this set of photos, but you really can't go wrong with Lilah as the subject. I didn't realize CNY was so soon. Guess I'd better get moving!

Chinese new year is creeping up fast this year... and what a very creative idea for a photo shoot!
ReplyDeleteLilah looks beautiful in the bright pink.
What fun! I especially love the ones of Lilah reading (the illustrations look beautiful, btw) and the one of her standing with the light streaming from behind.
ReplyDeleteI adore the playfulness of this set!
Great pictures Jill, I can't believe how quickly Chinese New Year coming!
