Courtney+Joe+Carley

I hope you’re prepared to go into cuteness overload with this family session! Courtney, Joe & Carley are friends of mine through church. I sit with Courtney & Carley almost every Sunday at church while Joe plays the guitar in our worship band (and is also the Director of Contemporary Worship). Carley is now 9 months old and really starting to show her adorable personality πŸ™‚ All 3 of them (especially Carley) were tremendous sports because the day our session was scheduled was one of those 90+ degree days last week…hot was an understatement.
 
It is a known fact that hands must taste like candy to babies πŸ™‚So precious…mother reading to her daughter. Carley was just voicing what we all were thinking…it is TOO HOT out here! It was at this point in time we decided to take a break from the heat and go sit in the shade to cool off for a bit. A little snack and a cool towel and Carley’s smile is back! πŸ™‚ This one is probably one of my favorites πŸ™‚I cannot get over how cute her scrunchy nose is when she smiles big πŸ˜€Sweet moments with both Mom & Dad…This is about the time when Courtney started singing “C-A-R-L-E-YΒ Β  G-R-A-C-E” to the tune of “Mickey Mouse”. I didn’t notice it at first but all of a sudden the “M-I-C…K-E-Y…” song was stuck in my head! We started laughing and it was in my head the rest of the day πŸ™‚ (Side note: Courtney’s parents are big time Disney World visitors and fans. Carley’s grandparents are the ones who made this fun little discovery that Carley has the same amount of letters in her name as Mickey Mouse and thus, the song was changed πŸ˜‰ )Such a beautiful family!Seriously. Cuteness level is off the charts. I love her big, beautiful, blue eyes!Daddy’s girl? Or Mama’s girl? I think Carley has proven that you can definitely be both…Thanks Joe, Courtney and Carley for sticking out the heat so I could capture some of these beautiful images!
Cheers!
