love, love, love these people

this was a fantastic photoshoot...

maybe because these people are easy to look at; maybe because these people are fun to be around; maybe because these people are near and dear to my heart...

mostly because i love these people! they are my nieces, nephew, kiddos, and parents!

below is janae...

she gave me the title of aunt first

she is as beautiful inside as she is outside

she is growing up too fast for me!

this is jonah...

he is janae's brother (can you tell?)

he has been this cute since birth... seriously

he is hilarious and quite the lego lover!



this is cadence...

she's my brother's little girl

she's full of energy... and love :o)

she has such a huge heart!

the kids obviously had lots of fun being their crazy selves!

this is my favorite shot from the night...
