Ayla is so very lucky to have such an amazing, caring, and beautiful person like Marla for an aunt. I know she'll grow up having a wonderful relationship with her.
This morning, Ping and Surina let me come over to their house to take pictures of little five-day old Makayla. She was my guinea pig, as I have never taken newborn photos besides the typical snapshots that anyone would take. I arrived with a laundry basket full of blankets, backdrops, hats, scarves, and flowers. I also brought my spaceheater and raised the temperature of their living room to a balmy 80 degrees to keep her warm. I didn't know what the heck I was doing and just decided to dive in. These are several of my favorite shots...isn't she beautiful? Afterwards, I scooped her up and sat down on the couch. I forgot how wonderful it was to hold such a tiny little baby.
On Sunday afternoon, I took some pictures of our friends' little one-year old daughter, Regan. She is so cute and has the perfect little rolls in all the perfect places. :)
I took some engagement pictures for a friend/co-worker, Josh and his fiancee, Shana. It was a GORGEOUS morning...it's hard to believe it's the end of August in Nebraska. The weather has been so out of the ordinary this summer. Anyways...here are a few of my favorite shots:
