This little lady is cuteness times 10! And her parents are justifiably enamored with her.

Her daddy contacted me a while back wanting to book a session as a surprise for Mom's birthday! I'm always a little nervous when people do that. I mean, what if Katie opened her card and thought "Damn, I really wanted those fluffy socks from Target." But, thankfully Katie was excited! I know because I ran into her in Charleston, SC (where I was vacationing and Katie celebrating her birthday!) just after he had given her the gift! What are the chances of that???

Meredith was a little shy when I first photographed her this summer (and for the first 4 minutes of our shoot today), but mostly smiles today!



Isn't she a doll baby? I realize I'm a little biased because there is something about her that really, really reminds me of Ella James, but I still think she's so darn edible!

And her mom dresses her so cute!


Meredith got to break in my new purple chair. :)




And finally, I had to show this of her tongue- she stuck it out at me more times than I could count.

Thank you Meredith, Darrin & Katie! I loved spending my morning with you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!
Okay, y'all I'm off to be well rested for the 11 families I'm photographing this weekend. Gulp. If you don't here from my by Monday, send a search party...
