Family: Celeste and Makailo

He is one of the coolest kids ever. And his Mama is one of the sweetest people ever! Some of you may remember a year ago, when I shared pictures of these two that I took as a Mother's Day gift for my dear, dear friend Celeste. She is one of my best friends. You know, the ones that are always there, 'cheer leading' you on and making you laugh along the way? She is one of those kinds of friends. Anyhow, for Makailo's second birthday, she asked if I would be willing to stop by first thing in the morning and do a mini session with him. I can't believe how much he has changed since a year ago. Then, he was a baby- barely even becoming a toddler. Now, he is a little man, who thinks his Mama is pretty and has fun showing me how to build a rock pile inside a bucket of water- all boy! So here they are and since this post is waaaay over due- Happy Birthday a month ago, Kailo!

Goodness I have been so excited to blog this senior session! This is Desirae my brothers very sweet counterpart. She puts up with all his (and our!) nonsense and fits right in with the family. We love her to pieces. When she asked me if I would be willing to take her pictures I was honored. Not only is she gorgeous (as you will see) but she is very fun loving and full of humor, so I knew it would be an enjoyable day. We drove down the hill to shoot at the same spot her parents took their wedding photos- sooo sweet! and dove right in. The place was amazing. We were there for hours and didn't come close to hitting all the locations available. Not only that but there are peacocks just roaming around everywhere. It was unreal. All in all, we had a great time laughing and shooting and I'm sure making other guests feel uncomfortable with our dancing and goofing off. So here she is... the lovely Desirae.

Ok, like I said on my Facebook, I know it literally has been FOREVER since I posted. I haven't disappeared, I promise. I've been working like a crazy person actually. The thing is, I'm really excited about some of the stuff I have been working on and had been planning to showcase the last few sessions when I launched the new site. However, because of my ridiculous indecisiveness-I know! its awful- it looks like the site won't be launched for a few months and that is just way too long to wait to share. So without any further ado, here is the first of the sessions I've been holding out on. Keep checking in I have a ton to put up.

Brianna is graduating this year- congratulations class of 2011- and wanted something other than the stuffy studio pictures that a lot of seniors get offered. So we went on a bit of a hike, in heals and all, to get some really great ones.

Enjoy your week, and check back soon!
