celeste, herb, izaiah and idinah: family LOVE.

i remember the first time i met celeste. she is one of the owners of an amazing hair salon that a couple of my best friends work at. the first thing i noticed about her was that she was always laughing. it is one of those infectious laughs where you can't help but smile and feel at ease around her. she has a genuine spirit and she just radiates positivity. i met herb awhile later and remember imagining that the balance they struck together was perfect. he is one of the most laid back people i've ever met, but funny and full of life and energy too. at one of my friend's weddings people actually asked if he was hired to be the entertainer because he got everyone out on the dance floor. i've always been impressed by their charisma and love and had heard through the grapevine that they make some of the cutest kids ever but i'd never really met either of them. i can truly say it was such a pleasure. izaiah is this warm hearted sweet wise little man with an innocent imagination and such a fun spirit. idinah is a bright beautiful bundle of energy who feels so safe and free to be exactly who she is. i love that both celeste and herb really LIKE their kids. they laugh with them and enjoy their company and hold them with tender emotion. they have fun together and they shine as a family. and as one of our mutual friends would say, "...and it all just fits together like cake."

meet isaiah, he's perfect.

& idinah! she's perfect too.

and the people who made it all happen... :) & one of the best couples i've ever known. 

thanks for hanging out in front of my camera :) you guys are the best.
