We met at Balboa, we played, we walked, we dug holes in the sand. It was a most beautiful evening.
*A special thanks to Stacie (see previous post) for coming along and taking care of my sick baby while I shot. I appreciate it more than you know! xo
































You make people look like models! Wow!
(07.12.11 @ 09:16 AM)LOVE them! :) Can't wait til I have a little bit bigger of a fam to do fun pics like this. The girls are BEAUTIFUL, look just like their mama! :)
p.s. commenting just for you Rach. :)

(07.12.11 @ 04:53 PM)These are soooo adorable Rachel! You are so good at what you do. The location, the lighting, the coordinated clothes, love it all!
(07.12.11 @ 08:25 PM)My time spent with her was sweet, and I could feel the bond that I so desperately want to exist getting a little stronger with each day that I spent with her family.
Eme, I miss you so much! Sing a little song for me today.....
Big, big hugs,
Auntie Rachel

Oh my gosh, she's so pretty! And there is something very "Liz" about that beautiful smile. I love it. You are so very talented Rachel.
(06.28.11 @ 09:30 AM)She absolutely could not be any prettier!!! That fabulous smile, just like her mother's, and those huge eyes, and that gorgeous hair--eeek! She's incredible!

(06.28.11 @ 12:27 PM)Sweet heavens she is a gorgeous child. What a beauty. I love the joyful laughter & natural, girlish spirit. These are wonderful.
(06.28.11 @ 02:42 PM)Elizabeth, you've been so patient waiting for these photos. Thank you.
Because there are so many that I loved, I decided to divide my sister's family into three posts- my nephew J, my niece Eme, and the whole family. I also plan on blogging the rest of my England/N. Ireland trip at the end of the week too...
Here's a boy who is picky about the people he "let's in". I'm so fortunate to have weaseled my way into his little circle. I love you, Jarom.





What an adorable little guy! The hammock shots made me smile BIG. And swooning over the lush green!! Sigh....envy. Great images!
