Every so often you meet someone special, and you know your paths have crossed for a reason. You know you have found a friend, and you're lucky because real friendships are not always so easy to come by. In my life, I've been blessed with the love of many friends, but the one I'm writing about today is my friend Tiffany.
If you know Tiffany, you know that a ray of sunshine seems to follow her everywhere she goes, and she can turn a crummy situation into something hilarious and happy. To know her is to love her. And as you can see {or already know} she's a very talented photographer with a keen eye for capturing beautiful moments.
She and her husband came to stay with us for a few days recently, and we learned that time really does fly when you're having fun! They got to witness our crazy daily life, and we got to enjoy the company of friends, share some hearty laughs, good food and refreshing Margaritas.
When she wasn't holding Sofia, she was photographing her, capturing her precious baby-ness so well. It brought tears to my eyes when I saw these pictures for the first time. And George instantly made this first photograph his computer desktop image. {He can't get enough of his baby girl.}
We three girls had lots of fun with the photo shoot, putting flowers in Sofia's hair and fluffing lace and chiffon tulle all around her like a nest. {Poor thing, she doesn't stand a chance of escaping flowers and tulle anytime soon!}
I am so in love with these pictures of her. It's been tough choosing which ones to purchase.
Worn out from the photo shoot, Sofia decided to take a little nap....
Let's do a flower change, shall we?
It was nearly the hottest day of the summer {hence the Margaritas} so we didn't get to stay outside too long with the little one. Tiffany took these sweet pictures of Sofia on my old velvet chair while we tried our best to get a little smile out of the baby......she was at the age where she was just starting to discover her smile.
This cute smirk is saying, "Mamma, I think this flower is entirely too big for my little head".
Little angel wings on her shoulders. I love the vintage look Tiffany created with this photo.
She even got some candid shots of the boys just hanging out on the front steps. Unplanned, no fuss, just brothers being together.

These photos of my children will always have a special place in my heart because they were taken by a dear friend, and each picture holds a happy memory of our time together and the laughs we shared. Tiffany....we all want to know....when are you guys coming back?!
