FRIENDS…Best Friend. Close Friend. Trusted Friend. Faithful Friend. Sister Friend. Loyal Friend. Childhood Friend. Beloved Friend. Spiritual Friend. Intimate Friend. New Friend. Lifetime Friend. No matter what adjective you use to describe them, Friends are special people. Friends are people who laugh with us, cry with us, support our dreams, comfort us, encourage us, question us, share opinions, respect us and love us for who we are. If we are lucky, we will find a person with all these qualities and keep them in our lives. That is what I did when I met my friend Robyn.

When we were first introduced, I didn’t realize what a wonderful friendship we would build. I didn’t realized how important she would become to me. I am so blessed to have her as a friend and was super stoked to recently meet my newest niece, Eisley Grace.

Congratulations Robyn & James…You guys made a beautiful baby!

This is definitely one of the weirdest looks I’ve gotten from a baby…ha.ha. I thought this photo was hilarious and so very adorable. I can already tell Little Miss Eisley is going to be quite a character.

I think my friend Robyn is simply gorgeous…inside and out!

I love these photos of James and Eisley. He is so gentle with her and you can see how much he adores her.

Eisley was teething and decided to chew on James’ shorts…too funny!

I love the connection with James and Eisley in this photo. No bond is like the one between a father and daughter.

And I get the look again…ha.ha.

I can’t imagine her ever getting into trouble with big BLUE eyes like that…

I love photographing my friends, I can always try new stuff and they are OK with it. I kinda use them as guinea pigs to experiment. I just like the feel of this photo and how the sun illuminates it.

I did most of the shoot while it was still very sunny out, but when you are on a baby’s schedule…sleeping, eating and pooping have to be considered when setting up a time line. Although it was really bright, I did get some shots with strong shadows that I really liked.

This shot was Robyn’s idea…I love when clients give me their creative input. I always welcome suggestions or ideas when doing shoots. I took a series of these shots. When Robyn would lift Eisley in the air she would bust into laughter.

Although Eisley has already been to the beach, it was fun to watch her reaction when the waves came in. There is one thing for sure, she is definitely a HAPPY baby. She laughed the whole time, even though she was teething.

Yes, James is making funny sounds to entertain Eisley. It worked…she was laughing at him.

This was such a cool looking tree.

A favorite…It amazes me how such a small baby can recognize her Daddy’s voice. I just love the way she was reaching for him.

Robyn & James…You guys are going to make the most incredible parents. Eisley is very blessed to have you. Please know I wish you all the best in life. Thank you for trusting me to capture the beauty of your family…

Have a blessed day~cass!
