the hope house :: roommate photo session [grandview, mo]

I was thrilled to have a photo session with these lovely roommates.

These are the roommates of one of my best friends, Valerie.

You may remember Valerie from my posts here, here, and here.

What can I say? The girl is practically a model so she has gotten a lot of my camera's attention :)

I love every time I walk into the home of these girls.

They are all so warm, genuinely kind, and full of hospitality.

Most of them are from the the South...that may have something to do with it ;)

And they really do love each other so much.

Truly.

It was a pleasure to capture your beautiful, and, at times, humorous [*cough* (Susanna!!) *cough*] relationships ;)

I am honored to know you women.

with love,

claire.

Allow me to introduce you to one of the cutest human beings on the planet,

Elliana Grace,
known to most as "Elli."

This little cutie-pie is hilarious, absolutely hilarious.

With her many silly faces, personality, and phrases like "Peace out, foo'!"

she is sure to have your heart in love and your sides aching from laughter.

This little lady lives in the great state of Texas and I got to take her pictures while I was there recently.
Oh, if she just lived closer to me, how much fun would be had! :)

with love,

claire.

hannah + makyla [sister session: lindale, texas]

Hello out therrrrre!! :)

In case you were wondering, I haven't fallen off the face of the planet.

I've been on vacation with my sisters, Hannah, Makyla, and our mom!

Hannah lives in East Texas and, Makyla, who graduated high school this past spring, just moved there too.

Mom was already gone by the time that we got to the photo shoot, but there are lots of other pictures documenting our trip from when she was around.

But more on alllll of that in a post soon to come!!

For now, friends, meet my beautiful sisters, Hannah & Makyla.

with love,

claire.
