absolutely speechless with this girl’s beauty.

my friend, andrea.
and my first budoir session.

i think every woman should do this some time in life.
because confidence is beautiful.
and a woman’s body is nothing but art.

and andrea?
hello, gorgeous.
seriously. i don’t think she knows how beautiful she is, but after these?
girl, you better know it.

(hello jennifer anniston!)

and yes, *wink*, she gave me permission to post these.

…enjoying the know-you-are-fabulous-and-schedule-your-budoir-session-now things.

i don’t think i’ve ever worked so hard in one day in my entire life…

with no further ado, there are some mamas waitin’ for some sneak peeks from today’s father’s day mini sessions…

(these sweatshirts are their daddy’s…love ’em)

…and tonight’s shoot at the ritz of this beautiful family and their baby, griffin.

i’ve never been so tired in my entire life, but i so enjoyed meeting all these beautiful families and their littles today.

…so happy i am blessed to do what i love.
…and so missed my girl today…to the point of tears when i finally walked in the door tonight to see her running, big smile and open arms to meet me.

…more lainey love later this weekend.

(and look what we knocked off our summer to-do-list…a wreath of fresh flowers for her little head)

…enjoying the many-photo’d-things. ~k

lots of little souls stealing my heart lately…

like sweet little chase…

who looks so exactly like his mama, it’s not even funny.

and lovely little jack…i have to give my dad credit for the witty announcement.

and then there’s quiet little jordan who smiled every single time his mama said, ‘ready…one…two…three…smile.’

…and earlier this week presley graced our house for her first year pictures…

…and after fighting tooth and nail for a smile, we settled for a somber inquisitive look and…well, i love it.

…ended up in the back yard amidst soggy puddles for some summer fun in her new bathing suit.

finally, sweet newbie beckett (and his big brother william) stopped by…

…and was a pure gem for a very long photo shoot.

baby parts…make me happy.

so there you have it…a whole lotta babies.

and my baby?

remember this post?

well, she’s graduated to two leashes.

and she’s stubburnly determined to handle them both without any help.

and while it’s not always graceful to watch…

this little always wins in the end. she is quiet but forceful. she is respectful (for the most part) but demanding. and they humbly obey. our little dog (slash baby) whisperer.

dog/baby whisperer who says…FIFTY words now. like taco. and ladybug. and happy. and…i love you. finally…a little talker, and we are loving every word of it.

…and there you have it.
