That awkward age

When we first started photographing our daughter, she had just been through a traumatic experience. More specifically, her head was quite "cone-ish". As such we went with a variety of hats, so as not to distract from the innate cuteness. Tough to comment on her deep blue eyes when you have to overlook the alien shaped head.

Since that time, she has proceeded to grow quite a bit of hair. She is learning, as all of us that have gone from completely shaven head to slightly fuzzy do, that there is an embarrassing awkward middle phase. Right now she's achieved what can perhaps be described as a Baby-mullet.

Of course that hasn't stopped Peter Boyle from a successful career, so why should it slow down Mia?
