Some of you may recognize Miss Gertie from her super-adorable studio session a couple months ago. Her mom just knew she also wanted to capture her silly lady on-location at her home. We waited until the weather warmed up so we could get Gertie swimming in the pool...her new favorite hobby! After dodging some rain showers, the clouds parted and we had a nice, humid evening poolside. Gertie was excited to see me again (really, she's just excited to see anyone that will play ball with her) and put on her best show. We started off checking out around the backyard before cooling off in the water. :) 
Goofy girl!
How do I keep Gertie's attention? Pull out a squeaky ball. She's all mine!
Uh oh! The ball went in the pool! Better put on the lifejacket just to be on the safe side. Gertie won't go in the pool unless... 
...she has the safety of her pool float to land on first. 
Then there's no stopping her!
Again, her special float (and a super cute give-me-the-ball face)... :) 
I love this little munchkin! (PS - Her mom is the fabulous designer and owner of Olive Yew, a fantastic jewelry shop. You must check it out!)
And my favorite outtake! Gertie doesn't appreciate getting splashed. Hahaha!
Thanks, ladies, for such a fun shoot! So glad we got to de-mosquito and de-stink in the pool! :)
