Nostalgia

This is a re-edit of a photo I posted a few weeks back of my neice Elizabeth. There is such a timeless quality to photos of little girls playing dress-up. That afternoon we had opened up the dress-up box for her. My children are getting older and rarely play in it anymore, but it was hands down one of their favorite ways to play. Elizabeth is a true girly- girl and immediately chose the pink leotard to put on. I recalled my now 15 year old daughter playing in it over the years and remembered that it was a hand-me-down from Elizabeth's older sister who recently married. There is a 16 year difference in age between the two sisters. That leotard had come in a box of hand-me-downs years earlier, no one ever thinking that Elizabeth would be one day; and would choose to wear it. Once it was on, she didn't want to take it off and off it went with her.

  2. I love those clothes that are timeless like that. How do you make the picture all b&w and leave one object color?
