parks family.

a good friend of mine asked if i would take some photos of their family.
i said yes right away...but then later got a little freaked out.
yes, i like to take photos...but i never had done a family before...
luckily i think they came out pretty good...my friend LOVED them, and that is all that matters.

...and it doesn't hurt that they are all beautiful.
their girls are super adorable!

miss bristol was so good the whole time!

don't you just love all that hair? ...and those chubby cheeks? 

 3 months old and she already has pigtails!  such a CUTIE!!!

miss skyler may grow up to be a model..she loved getting her picture taken.

i learned a lot that day...
shooting people is so different than shooting objects and places.
i definitely had a lot of fun though.

thanks jake and kelli....it was a BLAST!

not just another day.

today is the day...the day my bestie can no longer say she is younger than me!

i wish i could be there to celebrate with her...she does it in style.
she celebrates the whole month!
i wonder if sean knew that when they got married?

now she is as close to 40 as i am...teehee!

i hope you have a supercalafragalisticexpealidotious day.  (ya, i'm pretty sure i spelled that wrong!)

love ya sister from another mother!
