beach baby...

and her beautiful momma! miss lilly was just an absolute doll, really! and any three month old that has already had MULTIPLE trips to the beach, quite frankly i think that is pretty sweet. we tried to beat the summer heat with an early morning beach session. and then we enjoyed the sweet relief found inside their home. their home is a little piece of heaven (did i mention within walking distance to the beach, although we opted not to walk because we would have melted on the way!) and momma was EVERY photographer's dream! she had several outfits selected (all of which were too cute!) and then allowed me to pick.  lilly was the first baby that i have ever seen who is able to put herself to sleep, no crying at all. she has the most laid-back personality, just a go with the flow kinda doll. i think it comes from both her parents. although daddy wasn't able to make this session, he was there. Boy, O' Boy was he. she is her daddy all over again. Both are two of the nicest, most humble people that i have ever met, and lilly is nothing less!

...somehow i have a feeling THIS one may end up on daddy's desk!
