she jumped right into my heart....

the basement was somewhat dark

and

she really just wanted to cheer her brother on during a mad game of ping pong

but

with the sunlight pouring in through the window next to the table

i asked her if i could please take her photo

and

because she's so sweet and loves her crazy aunt beth

she let me

the first photo i think is my favorite

but

this one pulled at my heart strings

once again

just like the cafe photos i posted a few days ago

these were all shot with my camera being set to monochrome

and

if you haven't guessed it by now

i'm pretty much falling head over heals in love with that option

this is the newest addition to my sister's family

and

she is beyond precious

and

if you've ever wondered when your shooting time is up

well

a face like this

is usually a pretty good sign
