lovely-ness

meet kari: 

my beautiful, graceful, taller-than-me-and-i-wish-she-wasn't, thoughtful sister-in-law.  i LOVE these pictures.  yesterday afternoon when i got home from work i asked her if i could just snap a few pics.  the light in the room she is staying in at our house usually is great, but it was a little off, so i wanted to work on my ugh-this-light-sucks-can-i-still-make-it-work skills.  also apparently today i want to hyphenate everything.  she obliged me, and it turned into more than a few pictures.  we even moved into the dining room, because i was going to upload them at my computer, but then i liked the light in there too, so it continued, which i am grateful for, because this first shot came from that second group.  we are planning on doing at least two photo sessions while she is here and i couldn't be more pleased.  she says she is awkward in front of the camera.  i cry foul.  she is a beautiful soul, and i am happy to have caught the little moments with her.
