Last week, I had the awesome pleasure of photographing my cousin Carlee. She’s expecting her third baby, who I know will be amazingly gorgeous like the older two! The reason I was thrilled to get her in front of my camera isn’t that she’s beautiful and easy to photograph, but rather that we grew up together and rather than just being my cousin, she’s also one of my best friends! She’s quirky and fun, intelligent and creative, and let’s face it, she’s just one of the coolest people I know!
We ran down to the Long Beach VA Hospital’s Community Garden. On the way in, I may or may not have gone the wrong direction down a one way street and got pulled over…but we got great shots and that’s all that matters, right?!
Thanks to my cuz Carlee for being as close as a sister and more than a friend! Your open heart is one of the most special parts about you and I’m so thankful for the role you play in my life! You’re a wonderful mom and I can’t wait to meet the new little one and see how your family grows! XOXO!!!
Carlee is an awesome blogger, too, and this shot is currently her avatar on her blog! I love it!
Work it, Carlee!
For her third outfit change, Carlee rocked an 80s look. It was amazing to see how quickly the quirk came out! She started working the old school poses, and suddenly channelled the inner high school dancer!
Jazz hands…nuff said.
