My sweet friend and her girls are moving to China !!!   WHAAAAT?  Well, her dear husband was transferred there for work, so within the next couple weeks they will be leaving the Country.  Before they go, we thought it would be fun to have a little photo shoot with the girls and there bestest friends forever. I am so thrilled with how these turned out and hope the girls will treasure them while they are apart...

I love backlit images... the haze... the sun flare...   They just feel simple,  carefree  and  happy. The other evening,  my friend and her little girl  ( well, maybe not so little anymore... time flies ) and I took a walk around Colfax.   Here are a few of my favorites of miss Delanie.
