did you ever know before you even met someone that you were girlfriends?  from the first email i received from nikki, i was like a kid waiting for Christmas, excited to meet her.  maybe it was her online boutique, polka stripe, chock full of goodies destined to make any mom or photographer swoon.  maybe it was her glittery language that made me feel like we’d met for coffee and were best of heart-friends.  could’ve been her kind words and creative ideas for her session… and the giant box she arrived with, shipped from cali (and little did i know that like the Christmas elf, she planned to send that box home with me!!  whee!!).  whatever it was, i was excited for the family session planned to coincide with a family reunion trip to florida.

um, yes, this little ensemble is adorable, defined.  and yes, i have a couple of these available for your photographic enjoyment.  these fit bigger girls, as well, so start planning your session! (and for you mommas of teeny girls, i have a new line at the studio from a sweet local friend… ask me!!)

 furthermore, if you have to have your own (or two), stop by and visit my new friend nikki here!

i want to eat this little man for dessert. please don’t tell anyone – i don’t want to be the scary photographer.

the men.

nikki, it was pure joy to meet your sweet family.  even though i turned it down (who can bypass a diet coke?!), i loved your hubby for offering me a beer at nine a.m.  your boys made me giggle and your girls made me melt, and i look forward to meeting again! 

big hugs, girlfriend!  xo – angela
