*kalei*
i've had the honor of photographing this family frequently throughout kalei's life. i love watching her grow up -she is a perfectly beautiful combination of her mother and father- lucky girl : ) her papa, jason, was home on leave from afghanistan for a short R&R....i hear he has safely returned to his naval duty of protecting our country and for that i am forever grateful. i can't wait for his safe return state-side and hope they are in need of more photos in the future : )
i feel the need to publicly apologize for putting this family in danger- we had a run in at mission trails with a rattlesnake. i get the goosebumps even typing that sentence. we rolled with the punches, found a new location and had some laughs mixed with tears. call me a baby but unfortunately it will take me a long time to go back...i think kamilah and i might get a 2 for 1 deal on therapy regarding this incident.
i love this little face and i hope you do too...if you scroll through my blog you'll see how much she's grown over the years. i had the pleasure of caring for her in the nicu when she was born 15 weeks prematurely at 25 weeks gestation. her mama and papa have been through a lot but are the most dedicated and loving parents i've ever seen. they rock.
