Well I had another round of “10 Things” to share with you all today, but this little friend seemed so much more appropriate for an Easter post :) You first saw Shelby in the last round of “10 things” i posted last month, but now she gets her own post! I’ve gotten to know and love Shelby and her family over the past few months, and she is a constant source of joy in my life these days! She cracks me up with all the new crazy things she does and says every time I see her. She is one of the smartest kids I’ve ever met and will talk your ear off (or make up songs for you!) all day long :) As soon as I saw her super cute Easter dress I knew pictures were necessary, so we grabbed her dress, basket, some easter eggs, found a pretty spot with some daffodils, and did a little mini-photo session last Friday! Anna had just been telling me that I needed some updated bio pictures (which are coming soon!), so she snapped a few new pictures for me and I took some of her sweet girl :) Enjoy some of my favorite pictures of my little friend! :)
she’s just “hangin with my peeps” :) 
love her sweet smile!! 
I know this next series is pretty similar, but I adore them all. One of the last times that Shelby was over at my house she walked into every room asking for a “picture of Shelby??” Well I’ve got pictures framed of a bunch of other kids, so where was the picture of her?!? Shelby, you can expect to see one of these pictures on display next time.. promise :) 
she just couldn’t seem to keep all of her eggs IN the basket ;) 
melt. my. little. baby. HEART!
ah the many expressions of this girl.. love them all :) 
If she ever asks you for a “poke”, think of it as the equivalent to a high-five, and just go with it :) 
Happy Monday! :) Hope you all had a great Easter!!
[…] have been excited to photograph this session since Anna first proposed the idea months ago. Shelby is at such a fun age at 2.5 where her imagination is just running wild and she is creating and […]
[…] and babies don’t keep another sweet little smile :) on behalf of Josephine, thank you to her Aunt Anna for sending over some of Shelby’s old headbands and bows :) Paisley was so good and gentle […]
[…] Anna has quickly become one of my dearest friends, and she has always told me about her group of friends and how close they all are, but also now how much their kids love playing together. They all met through our church many years ago and have continued walking together through different seasons of life, marriage, job changes, kids, and all sorts of transitions life brings your way. Some of their best friends, the Boone’s, are getting ready to move and they were all wanting some nice pictures of the kids together, and their group enjoying a spring evening cookout together like so many before. I was MORE than happy to oblige and loved getting to spend the evening getting to know these families and their incredible kids. […]
Adorable, AGAIN. xoxoxoxo
precious! I love the last one
