more fabulousness.

May 7, 2009 By Kelle

i know. two blog posts in one day.
but i couldn’t help myself after going through my photos from tonight’s shoot with this incredibly darling family. (plus, there’s a baby bonus at the end!)

i wish for these kind of photos with every shoot.

i met adrienne a month ago at a birthday party and was smitten with her beauty.
so, when she called two weeks later to set up some photos, i was thrilled.
not to mention, her girls are heaven…throw in her husband and you get this incredibly photogenic family.

and i was so glad we agreed on candid as oppossed to posey-posey.

i. love. these. pictures.
and this family.

this next one…well i’m a sucker for those hey-kids-go-play-while-we-make-out shots. alright, i made them do it. but i think they liked it.

and these sisters? dreamy little angels.

and maybe it’s the dawn of mother’s day, but these next ones just make me teary.
a mama’s love.
adrienne, you are so beautiful!

how in the world i get so blessed to meet such wonderful, photogenic families, i’ll never know.

oh, but wait. i said there was a baby bonus.

…and i just got back from the hospital where i held this little love for as long as i could. he is beautiful and i know his mama, my friend, has been dreamin’ of him for about as long as i’ve known her.

congratulations, jason & stephanie.

a perfectly beautiful day.

my camera needs an ambien.

    Wonder if all of the beautiful people moved to Naples? Do you have any friends that are not beautiful? Every one of your friends are gorgeous. . . your beauty must attract others!
