This little cutesy-patootsey is Kailey. And she's clearly 4 years old. I've been photographing this adorable family for years -- they are dear friends of mine. Teri, Ryan and I all grew up in the church youth group together and I was in their wedding. I could foresee that they would have the cutest little girl someday so that's why I decided to be their friends -- so I could one day photograph her :).

I showed up to the shoot and Teri informed me that Ryan couldn't get away from work. But her and Kailey were ready for photos so we decided to do some without dad. Ryan really missed out but maybe he could put this one on his desk:
I might set a record for the number of times I use some derivative of the word "cute" in a post. Oh my cuteness!
Kailey was the most cooperative and fun to photograph that she's ever been and she even came up with a few poses for us:
Teri thinks Kailey gets all her looks from Ryan but I'd have to say she's a good combo:
I just love when parents have fun and interact with their kids during shoots. We get the best stuff!
Kailey looks like she's 4 going on 10 in this shot:
After shooting around Old Town Gilbert for a bit with the girls we decided to surprise Ryan at work and see if he could step outside for a few quick shots. You know -- just to make sure everyone knows he's still a part of the fam.
Kailey was really into the shoot. I might need to hire her to be my art director :).
And the photo that might take the all-time cuteness award:
Love you guys!
