This little friend of ours is a light, y'all.  She's also a beauty queen, but that is truly secondary to her sweetness, honesty, and cutecutecute sense of humor.  Her dad and Jeff worked together at a previous school, and our families been neighbors for a few years (bonus, her momma and I are stay-at-home momma friends, too!)--and in the fall, she and Charlotte will be in the same preschool class!  I am grateful for exactly who she is as an individual, as well as who she is as one of Charlotte's best buds.  I'm also extremely grateful for her rolling red curls, but that's a different story...

Side note, this shoot was styled by her momma.  Marandah would probably argue against that, because she's as sweet and humble as they come, but she hand-picked the outfit, colors of the flowers, and set up of the beautiful porch (which is a small but fantastic part of the entire house they gutted and renovated fixer-upper style a year or two ago).  I keep telling her that she and her husband are the Chip and Joanna of our little town, and when the rest of the community figures that out too, they're gonna be BUSY and famous!!
