almost edible

8x10 - 16
hope mabry photography. enough said. as i stated in my last post, her photography leaves me speechless. when she sent me the proofs of this photo shoot, she failed to warn me that i would need a tissue.

doesn't amelia look sweet in nana's big basket?! i had a hard time finding one big enough for my growing baby!

the next picture is my favorite of amelia. i love how her eyes stand out against the white. doesn't amelia look so quiet and peaceful?! i should keep this picture close at hand when she hits two years old! :)

5x7 - 18
here, amelia is snuggling with my granddaddy's's baby blanket. i bought her outfit just for this photo shoot--i love the contrast of the vintage with the bright white. and you know how i feel about babies in white.

4x6-amelia
and this next one? i could not have staged for a million dollars. but caroline loves her baby sister and could not wait to talk to her for one more minute. i jumped out of the way, and hope worked her magic.

5x7 - 23
on our way home from the photo shoot, i realized that i'd forgotten to ask hope to take a close up of amelia's feet. i was really bummed that i hadn't asked her to do that because pictures of baby feet are just... wonderful. so when i saw this next one in the proofs, i cried. hope read my mind! she's not just a great photographer, she's psychic! (juuuuust kidding!) don't you want to just eat these five little toes?!

5x7 - 21

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!! :) Amelia is so gorgeous, and the pic with Caroline... aww!

Thank you so much for introducing me to Hope, Emily! Her photos are priceless. I haven't seen a photo she has taken that I didn't think was amazing. Just like you, I cried when I saw our pictures too. :)

Get me a tissue too! Wow, the pictures of Amelia are gorgeous, but the one with Caroline takes my breath away. Where were these taken? Oh, and is it strange that I'm envious of a two year old's hair?

I want to see the picture of Caroline sighing in the church!! :) These are gorgeous, and that basket is perfect!

Hope said...
