Sweet as {Sugar}

“Daughters Dance their Way into Your Heart
Whirling on the Tips of Angel Wings; 
Scattering Kisses & Gold Dust in our Paths

 

I’ve always had a soft spot for this family – maybe because their two little girls reminded me of my two girls, or because Keri, the mom, and I get along so well … but each and every time we have had a session together, we have had such a great time! And now, with the recent addition of a THIRD baby girl, well, gosh, I think Keri and her three little girlies and me and my three little girlies will be hanging out a lot more in the future.

Keri and Chris, your sweet baby Emmie is just so precious! Enjoy every minute with her – your family is just so beautiful!
