This is my nearly 3 month old daughter Amelia. I don't have as much time to shoot for challenges lately, but when I read the description for Green, I knew I had to make time because I have the perfect subject!
Taking a baby shot almost always results in a low-scoring image, but I don't care. I am proud to use cloth diapers- in fact, I love them and am always on the lookout for cute new ones to add to my, ahem, Amelia's stash.
Amelia is lying on the floor with an alien bee on either side of her. My husband, [user]freakinhilarious[/user], was entertaining her. She's lying on a pink blanket and wearing a Blueberry one-size pocket in polka-dot minky. So soft!

I really like how the skin tones go so well with the background cloth. Nice concept... wonderful and pleasing lighting... and ofcourse a heavenly smile...
Well, eventually it will end up there... not sure what else a spent cloth diaper would be good for, definitely not for dusting off the china. It can be debated that the amount of water/soap used for laundering cloth diapers doesn't really make it that much more earth friendly but I think that argument has little weight in the matter. As for the photo, I'm not fond of the color treatment but you definitely have a beautiful model.
