Their love is so obvious.
They love and they have fun. They are best friends. They dance.
They snuggle. They be silly. They remind you of what love is all about.

2) Laykin just so happened to have her BF stay the night the night that the snow started.

That was great. They woke up the next morning to snow and couldn't wait to get out in it.

Laykin to just relax and cuddle.

Miss Ally

The best time to photograph newborns is up until they are about 10 days old.
Ally was the perfect age to get those sqoosy, sleepy baby photos.
Such a sweet little girl. Congrats mom and dad!

just how important being YOU is. whatever that may mean, YOU are YOU.
be proud of that and embrace it to it's fullest.
