Another long-time favorite LiLo family is on the blog today!  Seriously, sometimes I look around at my business and I marvel at the wonderful families I have the privilege to work with.  And in some cases, those families feel like they are a part of MY family.

From the moment I met this adorable family (when Jaylene was only 6 months old) we clicked.  It was like meeting old friends….but for the first time.  Does that even make sense?

This beautiful family is quick to laugh and even quicker to love.  They just fit together in a way that is rare and special.

I am so thankful that they come back for more pictures every year.  If they were to miss a year….I might just have to go cry in the corner.  This sweet girl just sparkles.  She is sweet, fun, spunky and a complete joy to be around.  She has me wrapped around her little finger.  This is my favorite picture from our session.

Last year she wanted me to come have dinner with them after our session.  Isn’t that the cutest thing EVER!?!?

This year, she wormed her way even deeper into my heart (as if that is even possible) by wanting to use my camera.  She walked all over and took pictures of trees, the sky, her parents and it was adorable.  She was a little hesitant to give my camera back because she was having so much fun.   Hopefully she keeps up her love for photography!

Jaylene didn’t take this photo (although she took one similar but half of her parents were cut off…..give her a break, she is still learning) but she was sitting on my lap while I took it (I told you she is my favorite).

She has grown up so much.  Look at those luscious locks and how she is into posing for the camera.

Here is her serious side.

And here is her adorable side.

It is clear that Josh and Jen LOVE being parents to this little beauty.  That love has always made me a little starry-eyed when it comes to these three.

Thanks for the love Florea Family.  Your sessions always brighten my day and I am so thankful for you (and your budding photographer….who really wanted me to take a picture of her pretty flower).

Want to walk down memory lane with this family?  Here is the first session I ever did with them and here is last year’s session.
