1985Luke Photography: Baby's First Easter! {Alyssa Kelly}

Graduating high school, beginning college, growing up, picking majors, figuring out what you want to do for the "rest of your life", meeting new friends, trying to get meaningful internships, graduating college, preparing resumes, applying for job after job after job, meeting the love of your life, talking about marriage, planning a wedding, the day you sign your marriage license, and then moving into a place of your own... These are all big milestones in people's lives, and they are all fairly easy to wrap your head around once you figure out a plan that will get you to the next step in your life. But when your friends start having babies of THEIR OWN... THAT is one of the biggest shockers. At least for me it was. All the other stuff is easy to wrap my head around because I still feel like a total goofball high school student who is on one epic adventure called life. But when my friends starting having kids of their own, it just blows my mind! Are we really old enough to be in charge of raising another human being on our own?!? Wow!

Well let me tell you, when I heard that my friend Brandon was having a baby, I had to pause for a second and think to myself, "Didn't I just graduate high school?" (2003 feels like it was just yesterday). Shoot! What an amazing thing though!

I had no idea what to expect. I mean, there was going to be a little Brandon, (and Lisa of course) running around soon. But I just couldn't wrap my head around it. Then he tells me they're having a girl... still couldn't wrap my head around it. But when I actually met little Alyssa Kelly, it made it that much more real. And as you can see for yourself, she is absolutely adorable! Totally cute baby girl. (6 months old when we took these pictures)

My condolences to the guys who want to take her on a date some day down the road. I know Brandon will give 'em a run for their money!

When Brandon and Lisa had asked about doing an Easter session with Alyssa I just thought, "This is one of the cutest little girls I know. I have to take her pictures!" I still can't get over how insanely blue her eyes are!

Ok ok ok, I'll let you continue to scroll down through the pictures!
