Oh this pretty girl is my niece, Anna. We celebrated her 9th birthday this past weekend! The day went by so fast that  we had to quickly take her birthday portraits as the sun went down and it got chilly.

You might recognize some of the places in this post from Katelyn’s portraits. There’s a park right near their home that’s been really perfect for some quick portraits.

I went to Anna’s 1st birthday party when Ben and I had just started dating and I really can’t believe how time has flown right on by!

This is the real, silly Anna : )

Anna is such a beautiful and smart girl who really loves her family and is a great older sister to Katelyn and Will. I feel like we have a special bond since we’re both the oldest sisters in our families.

I was so happy to find some cherry blossoms! The pink blossoms are perfect to show Anna’s girly side.

This is my favorite!
