Family.

This lil one’s mommy and I go way back…like waaaaaaaaaaaay back, before forever ago.  We first met in Kindergarten and have gone through just about everything in this lifetime that you can imagine.  She has been with me through all my firsts, my crushes, my heartaches, and my dreams.  Growing up, she was my best friend, my sister, my stylist, my coach and teacher on life lessons, and my inspiration to be a better me.  She nudged me out of my glasses and into contacts, she helped clean out my closets, she showed me what to wear and how to put on makeup!  She was my college roomie and my Maid of Honor at our wedding.    She knows me all too well…the good, the bad, and definitely the ugly!  And though she lives on the other side of the world, we somehow manage to visit with one another 1-2 times a year.  Oh how I cherish the time we have together.  Without a doubt, it always goes by too quickly!  But on this visit, I insisted on having a session with her sweet angel…can you blame me??   This is simply perfection…

Um, yeah, that’s mom two months after having a baby…??   I think it has to be a crime to look that good!

    Well I started off thinking Oh #1 is my fave. No, #2 is…. wait…. Honestly I can’t really pick. These are all gorgeous shots! All clear and clean, all big print worthy. Amazing job, Karen!

    I have to agree. I started out liking #4 (because of the rolls) and then it was the next, and the next, etc. I can’t decide! Both Mommy and baby are so photogenic! :) Great job AGAIN Karen!

    SPEECHLESS! Love the one with the half smile (there is definitely mischief in those eyes). Beautiful baby, beautiful mama…and of course the photographer must be a beauty too.

    LOL, Ann – I’m in agreement with you…beauty by association works for me!
