Happy 2nd birthday, ruby!

OH my goodness. This little girl right here, I love her to pieces. I met the Scheidt family back in October when I just had started my photography business. They were one of my very first clients! As fate would have it, we now go to the same church and have become great friends! This is one of my very favorite families. They tell THE best stories and are always laughing and cracking jokes. They are my kind of people. And so naturally, their little 2 year old is the funniest kid I have ever met. I think these photos perfectly capture her spunky little personality. Mom was brilliant and brought smarties to bribe her to the session. Note to self: sugar works miracles. Oh sweet, sweet summertime.

Don't miss the last 2 photos! We wanted to get a picture of Ruby smelling the flowers but she kept trying to smell them from a foot away and was sucking her nose in a way that was not flattering for photos. So daddy told her to "eat" the flowers and of course she did. When we asked her what it tasted like, she replied "strawberries!" without missing a beat! She was also a little disappointed because there were no "gray" flowers and that's the color of flowers she really wanted to see...haha.

And yes those are her very own eyes. Unedited. Just pure beautiful blue goodness.
