Jackie, James and Pearl came a long way from Milwaukee to Cincy to visit friends and have their first family session. They are part of
Ali’s close group of friends whom I’ve gotten to know over the years. Now they have a little lady who is aaadoraable.
We paused for a few sleep breaks here and there.
Another friend from the group, Kerry, came along to hold our shit and shake my keys because she’s just nice like that.
Pearl was quite the tough crowd that day.
CUUTE!
Though this session was in the beginning of January, it was still high 50s, which is like a heat wave for them. 
Love.
How pretty is she?
Nom nom nom.
Kerry lives in this amazing house downtown. So we hit it up after we got our fill of the human poop crust found in the back alleys.
Pearl is such a serious baby. It was kind of hilarious.
I blogged this image because it’s gorgeous of Jackie. Expressive little eyebrows from Pearl was just a bonus. Hehe.
So glad we got to hang out and catch up. It’s always good to see you girls. Thanks for coming in town! Congrats on your little family.
I can’t imagine the joy Ali has seeing you as a mommy. In due time she will get James into liking headbands some way or another. 
Heart, Melanie.
Happy Holidays friends! Heart, Melanie.
Hiiiii-ya!
