| This is my friend Kristin. She's about to have a baby very soon. Baby number four has kept her on bedrest for the last little while, and his arrival is being counted down. |
 |
| Sweet little Mason...come out, come out, where ever you are! |
 |
| On a side note, I want Kristin's eyes. They're gorgeous. They're the color of honey, and after looking into blue eyes all day at my house, I'm always startled by them when I see them again. So pretty. |
 |
| Her momma asked me what my favorite thing to photograph was. I told her it was the 8 year olds. For many of these little ones, turning eight marks a big step in their lives. I love the sweetness of the age and the privilege of helping them document such an important step. I love that I can get right up in their faces and that the outcome is a picture that makes you feel you can see right into their souls. |
 |
| Kinley was a trooper. Her mom and I drug her to a few different places and forced her to look lovely and smile for the camera. Yeah right....this little beauty loves the camera. |
 |
| Nothing is quite as distracting for a little girl as a field full of ladybugs! |
 |
| It was very important to Kinley that some of the pictures show the pearl earrings she was wearing...so Kinley, this one's for you sweety. |
 |
| You might think this one is for her momma, but it's really for me. If I can get a mom in the picture with their little one, it makes me so happy. Moms are usually the one behind the camera, snapping away. They are always reluctant when I say it's their turn to have the lens pointed at them, but I can't get enough of the tenderness that shows so clearly through pictures like these. |
