i met becca in college. she was a few years older than me and awesome which meant i immediately wanted to be like her. we were friends. i remember her encouraging me during a rough stage of my life and how she led by example- overcoming when life threw a bit of discouragement her way. i remember spring break my freshman year when her fiancé adam sent her flowers to our beach house in florida- i knew i wanted to one day be in a relationship like that. when becca and adam were married it was an awesome day and it made me realize how unique and personal (and stylish!) weddings could be. when becca told me she and adam were having a baby we immediately made plans for a little photo shoot. having never photographed a little one before i was totally nervous for, oh, nine months. baby photography takes a special someone and i dove in blind, shocker. moving on. the one and only baby jayci was born september 17, 2008 and i had the great pleasure of meeting her just twelve days later for a couple of pictures. even though this was more of a personal shoot i wanted to share a couple with you- meet the lovely stanley clan!
