::She's Here - Colbie Jane::

Many of you will remember Paige and Jason from several months back.  They were expecting...
a little girl.  :)
There are roughly two things in this world that naturally make me turn into a little girl with excitement. 
The first thing: WEDDINGS.  The second: BABIES!  No joke, these thing make me ethereally happy!
(And I'm getting the laugh lines to prove it. ;)

Miss Colbie Jane has left her mark in my heart!  I was so excited to go meet her for the first time...to hold her, talk to her. Nothing quite like meeting a new little person for the first time!
Aaaaaaand......I'm smiling.  :)

Again.



So I went, taking with me some homemade cranberry biscotti cookies for Mom and Dad.  They.were.good!

And there she was...looking so perfect.  :)




Three generations.








Blue eyes like Mama...









Long eyelashes like Daddy...





Mother-daughter moment...priceless.  :)





Cheeks!!





Radiant motherhood.  :)








/\ LOVIN' these turquoise colors!

Aren't they beautiful?!  Like mother like daughter I guess. 
This was definitely the best possible "first ever baby shoot" I could've asked for.  Paige was awesome and we spent so.much.time laughing at all things from Colbie's funny faces, blanket wettings, and fail baby poses.
Hahahahaaa!!  It makes me laugh again just thinking about it all!  Oh my.  :)

Paige, Jason, and Colbie...God bless y'all!  Thanks for the wonderful memories! 
I look forward to seeing your sweet family again soon!

A joyfully reminiscent,
Anna Grace :)

::Twitterpated - Isaac and Lydiana::

Great new!  GREAT NEWS!!!

Hmm, I'd say about a month ago, I did a photo-shoot of some very special friends.  Friends going through a very special season of life.  God-centered courtship.  :)

My surrogate-Coast Guard-brother Isaac flew down to Florida from Alaska one Saturday night.  Then surprised his lady friend the next morning at church!!  She.was.shocked...in the happiest of ways!  ;)
So while he was down, the happy couple asked me to do a session with them.
I was only TOO happy to agree!  And what a session we had...SOOO incredibly enjoyable!!  :)


::1::


::2:: One thing you should probably know is...


::3:: ...since Isaac went back to Alaska...


::4:: ...he and Lydiana have kept up thriving communication...


::5:: ...as much as his military duties and sailing the open ocean can allow...


::6:: ...and in that time...


::7:: ...Isaac has...


::8:: ...asked Lydiana to be his wife!!!!!!!!!!!!


::9:: SHE SAID YES FOLKS!!!!!! 
(Side-note: I knew they wouldn't last un-engaged for too much longer! ;)


::10:: Yes, there are other people in this photo, I know.  It was purposeful.
This is an example of the way their relationship has been.  Surrounded by people who love them...looking to them as examples of what the Lord can do when we wait.  He is good, all the time!


::11:: A date is set for November-time and the tizzy of wedding planning is in full swing! 


::12:: AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!


::13::


::14:: Definitely my favorite from the shoot!  :)


::15:: Holding on...


::16:: /\ There were giggly spectators the whole time during the shoot.  We were all smiles!  :)


::17::


::18:: My very close second favorite of the day!

Hopefully, come November, we'll get a change to do a bona-fide engagement shoot.  But for now, I'm content to peruse and smile over these!  :)

Isaac and Lydie...I'm looking forward to your wedding with GREAT anticipation!!  (I can hardly stand it!)
May the Lord continue to be glorified in your lives and use your relationship as a testimony to His goodness!
Love you both, so much!

An ecstatically joyful,
Anna Grace

(PS) GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Okay, I'm done now.  ;)
