It is completely happenstance that this amazing family has come into my life.

I remember meeting Aliyyah at story time at my favorite tea shop of all time – the infamous “Fusion Brew” in Normal Illinois. Ps. If you ever find yourself in the middle of Illinois – this is the bucket list place to go!  I had just started going to story time that our friend Kim was hosting with my little baby Mateo  & Aliyyah was there too with her simply DARLING babies! I just HAD to meet her- and so I did. Marched right up & said”HI! I want to know you”  You know me…lol. I instantly knew we would be friends.

She is lovely inside & out. She is authentic about her faith & about God’s deep love for humanity. She is a great conversationalist with many dreams & ideas & the cutest family EVER. Once again my life is enriched by those in it & I’m lucky to call her friend.

Enjoy some of my favorites from their mini session this summer!

Isn’t this life with toddlers to a T? haha.

See aren’t they DARLING??
