flowers, a lollipop, and a pretty little girl...

Saturday morning I headed south to the little town of Carnation (Jeff and I refer to Carnation as our "old trompin ground"). This gem of a town holds a special place in our hearts, as we spent several years working there (me at the Elementary school and Jeff as a youth pastor at one of their local churches). It was at that church that we met and became friends with the Stedmans! Janice and Randy are two of the most REAL people you will ever meet and I so appreciate that about them. They are so authentic and you always feel like you can be yourself around them! Such a beautiful quality to bestow!

Janice contacted me a while back to ask if I could take her sweet little granddaughter's portraits... and the rest of her beautiful family! Such a proud Grandma she is and the whole family is in love with little Miss. Keira (just turned TWO)!

This is quite a BIG post! And, I have many more as well! Enjoy!







































I also shot some quick pics of Janice's daughter, Samantha, and her beau, Jason.
