Take a Picture Tuesday: Miss Malina

I've just got to throw this out there: as much as I tell people that I didn't enjoy my high school experience (because I didn't), I want every one to know that I met some really amazing people along the way.  I think it goes without saying that the teachers, cheerleaders, cheer moms, coaches, classmates, and their parents all had a profound impact on my life at the time and I find it so wonderful that I get a note, an email, a phone call, or a message from people that I haven't had the pleasure of seeing in years. 

You're probably thinking "huh?" and so I'll explain.  I got a not from a friend of mine's mother through my blog a few weeks ago.  She informed me that her family had a new addition and wanted to know if I'd like to photograph her.  Without hesitation I jumped at the opportunity, which for so many people may seem odd but for me it just seemed right. 

Boy, was it right. 

Through this amazing woman, I was able to meet an adorable little baby named Malina as well as her loving (and creative!) family.  Her mother, father, and Godmother were all at the shoot and I had such an amazing time capturing their moments. 

They've recieved their pictures already, so I feel good in showing you all a few shots of this adorable little girl and all of the people that love her.
