edie + steve + emme + elea {family}

Oh how we adore this sweet family!

Edie emailed me a couple months ago introducing herself, and shared how she would love to have pictures taken with us.  She lives in Tennessee with her beautiful family, and was planning to travel up to Cincinnati for a Homeschool Convention in early April.  I was thrilled when I popped over to her blog (http://www.lifeingraceblog.com)….and emerged an hour later in love with Edie and her intelligent, big-hearted, quirky, crafting, homeschooling, blogging self!!  I was so excited to meet and photo her family.  :)

Their two little girls are just precious….and their outfits ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF!!!!

Meet Emme.  :)

Meet  Elea.  :)

Another reason for this session (besides for FUN) was Edie and Steve are celebrating 10 years together this fall!!

YAY for LOVE.  :)

Edie and Steve, thanks so much for traveling to Cincy and doing a photo session with us.  Emme and Elea, thanks for being so sweet, cute, and fun!

Last but not least, Mr. Sun, thanks for shining so beautifully for us that evening.  ;)

Hope our paths cross again!

much love,

sweet lenora mae {newborn}

We were so excited to have the honor of photographing sweet little Lenora, or Nora as they plan to call her.  This little beauty is my 3rd cousin, or 1st cousin twice removed…whatever is the “proper” way to say it.   ;)  When my cousin Matthew contacted me about us photographing their baby when it arrived, I was giddy with excitement to meet her!

You may remember the blog post I did about my Grandma on her 93rd birthday and I mentioned she had her 2nd great, great, grandchild on the way…..

HERE SHE IS!

Isn’t she a doll?  :)

Look at that sweet little newborn face!  She was so sweet and calm for the entire session.  :)

Daddy Matthew and Mama Angie are going to be amazing parents.  I can’t wait to watch them all grow together.

Oh so in love with this one.  :)

She has the most perfect lil’ lips!

Modeling can get so tiring!

This was my cousin’s suggestion.  I was all for it.  Lasted about 20 seconds.  ;)

Matthew and Angie, thanks so much for having us over to capture Lenora in her first days!  She is so precious. When I showed these photos to Priya she said, “I love her.  I am so glad she is my cousin.”  :)

Enjoy every single minute with her.

love,

jess + brett
