Ok, so this isn’t exactly your normal Senior Photoshoot. Adi is in fact a graduating Senior … but from college. She just graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University and this pretty lady is ready to take on the world! I have known Adi for about 6 years now and it has been so awesome to watch her grow into a sweet, sincere, self-confident young woman (phew, that was a lot of alliteration. lol.)

Adi has been my partner in crime on many occasions and the day of our photoshoot was no exception. In fact, our outing kind of reminded me of Thelma and Louise in a lot of ways. There was a TON of adventure (especially when we found a cool abandoned old couch and had to scare some critters out of it first … let’s just say we hope they were squirrels), a TON of laughter (Adi is the most smiley person I know), and a TON of fun.

Adi, you are an amazing person and I’m honored to know you. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

**Warning** Viewing the following images might make you do something drastic like go out and have another baby. Do not, I repeat, do NOT look at these images if you aren’t ready to completely fall in love with the cutest thing to ever walk this earth.

Now that you have all read the disclaimer, we may proceed.

Meet EJ. Words cannot even begin to describe how cute and cuddly this little guy is. I love everything about him. His cute little bald head, his chubby little legs, and those HUGE heart-stealing blue eyes. Ahhhhhhh … every time I look at him my heart just melts a little more. And to top it off, EJ is such a momma’s boy. He loves his momma like no one else and it is so incredibly cute to watch the two of them interact with each other. Cade has always been “Mr. Independent who-wants-nothing-to-do-with-snuggling” so I have to tell you … I was thoroughly jealous watching EJ and his momma together. It almost makes me want to have another one … wait, stop that Sarah! Sheesh, I think I need to go back and re-read my own disclaimer.

Miss Em is one of my favorite kids to photograph in the whole wide world. This is the third time I have had the opportunity to capture this sweet thing and she just keeps getting cuter and cuter! I think she gets her loveable demeanor from her mom because she’s pretty darn sweet too.  I had such a blast with Emily and her mom at this AWESOME lake by their house. I think I will have to take Cade there sometime soon … he loves ducks! Emily loved the ducks too … she was an expert at throwing bread to them and making quacking noises. I’m pretty sure they were actually communicating with each other, hahaha.

Emily, I could hang out with you every single day and never grow tired of you. Your laugh is contagious and you smile is radiant. Mom, I hope you like your sneak peek!
