Facebook really is one of the most amazing things around... not only is it great for business and staying current with your friends, but it's the best way to keep in touch with family members that you don't get to see as often as you'd like.

I remember when I first got a friend request from my mom.... I didn't know what to think... would this be bad? Would she shake a finger at all my happy hour visits and roll her eyes at all the photos of me at parties? It really could've been disastrous, ya know? But instead, facebook has connected me with aunts, uncles, cousins that've grown up to be waaaayyyy cooler than me, and has made it possible for all of us to get to know each other again.

OK. Why am I rambling about facebook? Because this photoshoot of my Aunt Annie and her daughter may have never happened if it weren't for that awesome little social site. As some of you know I'm always posting photos and rambling about this and that and my most favoritist childhood aunt took notice. She mentioned that she wanted to have photos taken of Alexi, and I jumped on the opportunity. I don't get to see them much, and I was floored to see how old (and cool) Alexi had gotten when I wasn't looking. Seriously, she is one cool kid... just look at her awesome wardrobe and super sassiness. I LOVED photographing her! So here she is - popcorn loving, concert going, Selina Gomez fanatic, Alexi:

I really really really wish they made that ruffly skirt in my size...

I don't know why exactly, but this is one of my favorites of the day. Her eyes are so expressive.

There are so many amazing textures and colors to be found in Downtown Fullerton.

She's such a great model... all I had to say was, "you lost your cell phone and you're grounded" to get a somber look. Then ask about her boyfriend, and presto! Smiles!

Our Taylor Swift tribute...

She's only 6! And look at how absolutely gorgeous she is! She's gonna stop traffic when she's older.

Had to get a few Mom and Daughter portraits in...

Seriously? Seriously? She is so flippin' cool.

Their wiener dog!

Like daughter, like doggy LOL

Happy faces and blurry backgrounds never fail...

A little leaf throwing does a kid good... cool idea, Annie!

Annie and Alexi,

I hope you had as much fun at our shoot as I did. You two were lots of fun, and I can't wait for the next round of photos someday. There are TONS more to look at... in fact I had a really tough time deciding which ones to post. I'll have your proof site up soon so you can check everything out. Love ya, and I hope to see you again soon!
