Lexi turns 1

I have really cool friends. I haven't really mentioned then here because I don't take pictures of them very often, but they're really awesome. They all live down the street in the same apartment building. There are 3 guys (one being Eric) and then there's this cool family...

And they have this cool baby....

It's pretty awesome, all these people living in close community. And especially awesome because of Lexi. If you've ever watched a 24 year old guy try and change a 1 year old's diaper, you'd understand.

We celebrated Lexi's 1st birthday last week. I just love seeing what a cool enviornment she's getting to grow up in... with all these people who love her. She's a pretty much the coolest baby ever. And super fun to photograph. Especially when I get to use her dad's really fantastic camera.

Here's me and Lexi... we're good friends. Also, really fun because I was the her delivery nurse.

Take a look back at Lexi last year...

i heart faces: Yellow

Little L rocking her yellow shirt while having some cake at her "colors" party. Actually, this was our pretend party because I missed the real one. So we put on the outfit, made a little cake, and reinacted the whole thing. Luckily L didn't seem to mind.

Happy 2nd Birthday Lucy

I met this family about 6 years ago when I was in this little girl's mom's Bible class at school. I started babysitting the cat when they were out of town. Then her mom got pregnant with her big sister. I was the first babysitter (and, of course, the favorite). :) I adore these girls with all my heart and have loved getting to see them grow. They also happen to be my first real photo subjects, the one's who taught me that I did, in fact, know how to take pictures.

The proud sister who was mostly focused on getting her hands on another cupcake.

A pink princess party

To my sweet birthday girl who I have known since she was 8 hours old... Happy 3rd birthday.

This beautiful little girl had a wonderful pink princess party this weekend to celebrate turning 3. There was pink everywhere (except on me because, [not so] unfortunately, i don't own anything pink), her mama made a spectacular cake, and 3 adorable ladies showed up all decked out in their fancy clothes (pics of them to come later).
