mattea [seven!]

it's hard for me to believe that it was this time last year that i started LSP, with mattea being one of my first clients. her mother and i have been friends for years and i LOVE that little girl; it's so amazing watching her grow before my lens. just this past year alone i've captured her big grin for her six year pictures, her mom's wedding, and now her seven year pictures. she has a wonderful personality, is always smiling, and is one of the sweetest, funniest children i've ever met. shelby, you've done an excellent job raising her; i know she's only going to grow into a beautiful young woman with your guidance.  mattea, you are BEAUTIFUL already, and i can't wait to see what the years ahead of us hold. keep smiling, pretty :]

on a sidenote, mama, shelby, is currently pregnant with mattea's baby brother, brandon junior, and i am SO EXCITED to meet this little guy in a few months!
