Ansley's ONE.. part 1

Lauren and I were pregnant at the same time last year. I was stalking her facebook continuously for updates on if she had contractions, if she posted the name, if she was going to be induced, etc, etc. Miss Ansley came early just before Easter last year. I was SO excited for Lauren and thought maybe if I could just get near her (even in cyberspace) the early contractions would rub off on me too haha. (No such luck). I saw lauren post the first pic of Ansley in her carrier matching her beautiful momma kneeling at their doorstep. She just glowed!

Flash forward 1 whole year later and now we are celebrating our little babies' birthdays just a month a part! I was so excited to bring Kinsley over for her first birthday party invite, while secretly shopping for ideas haha. Picnic and Kites with vintage accents. ADORABLE! She worked really hard and it showed! Ansley loved just scooting around and soaking up the attention, while still slightly unaware that everyone was there just for HER!

The Boone's

29+ years of marriage, and still as happy as the were on their wedding day!

They are all dressed up to go to Charlotte Style Magazine Event at Butter because my dad was selected as one of Charlotte's 25 most stylish! Wow! Go dad! Red carpet, VIP, goodie bags, the works and took home the honor of best stylish in business. Speaking of business, BooneOakley advertising has been doing BIG things. They will be featured on AMC's new show "The Pitch" that premiers April 30th. My daughter Kinsley and I got to have lunch with him on one of the days they were filming so maybe we'll make the editing cut?? haha. I am SO lucky and honored to have a dad that is not only successful by the world's standards, but even more so by God's standards. He has all the opportunity in the world and the temptations that come with it, and I am BEYOND proud to know that he doesn't ever lower his standards just to fit in with the crowd or to get far. I look up to the fact he doesn't drink, despite all the celebration; he doesn't cuss, despite the lows; and he has eyes for only ONE woman- married to his highschool sweetheart for 29+ years! NOW THAT is an HONOR!

My mom is the most giving person I know. She always puts others first, and it was fun shopping with her and helping her pick out an outfit just for HER. She works extremely hard as a nurse, wife, and mother. Her stories from the hospital would drive anyone away from wanting to be a nurse, but she LOVES it. She is also a woman of God, sharing her testimony with whoever needs to hear it, and being the hands and feet of God in a place that not everyone wants to serve. She has blessed our family so much and we are so thankful to have her in our lives! (and living so close by!)

Easter minis with baby animals sounded like a GREAT idea. I was SO excited to be offering this! I was so thankful to have family there to place chicks and bunnies in and out of shots and to capture a lamb that decided to jump out of his pack-n-play and run off. whoa.. talk about a crazy, eventful afternoon that led to capturing these ADORABLE photographs! Here is Ansley, Kinsley and Laine (10-11 months in age) posing pretty!
