My Beautiful Daughter!

My daughter, Gabrielle is 13 years old and the apple of my eye! She is beautiful inside and out! She is such a tremendous help to me. I am so very proud of her and all her accomplishments. I took these photos to commemorate a very special occasion. My husband of the last 5 years adopted her as his own. We are all very excited. She now has the same last name as all of us, including her two baby brothers! She is so happy! I took these photos in my living room with my brand new Canon 50mm 1.8 lens! I love it and for less than 100 bucks I am so glad I bought it! I am biased because I think she is so beautiful but I think I did a little better on these pictures. I still used the flash and I did some post editing and added some actions, my new favorite thing to play with! I think I shot most of them on manual mode, I am still terrible at remembering my settings! I didn't have to edit these as much though!
