...and on this lovely Sunday, i leave you with two more sweet notes :
it has been soooo bizanely busy in .ksp. world that i realized my precious Jones hasn't graced the blog in a little while. so i thought, what better way than to share a little interaction i captured semi-recently of Jones with Jude, Ang's adorable youngest son, in the studio room.


and second...
.makin' it mine.
the sa-weetness that is the beautyFULL mizzz J a i m e,,, recently reminded of this AWESOMEandthensome song by Jason Mraz. not only do i absolutely LOVE the entire album this song is on, "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things",,, but i had forgotten about this pocket of inspirational goodness & wanted to share :

(oh,,, & i suggest you crank up the volume & make a little room in case you spontaneously bust out into a little dance party wherever this may find you. not that it happened to me, or anything,,, jus sayin'.

wishing you a soulFULL, blissFULL, dream-making week!

beaaaaaaautyFULL Darwin Elizabeth was born on June 25, 2009 weighing 7lbs 12oz, 20.5" to her proud parents Marisa & Jonah. i had the great pleasure of documenting Marisa & Jonah's wedding day in 2007 (& you may also remember them from some previous posts on this blog),,, so to be able to now experience and capture their growing family, love & joy as parents is another absolute blessing of my 'job'.
with all that said, i hope you are prepared for the CUTENESS OVERLOAD you are about to intake as you meet the incredible Darwin below! she is a bundle of laughter, love & SA-weetness, not to mention incredibly mobile for being only just around 6 months at the time of the session. below are some of my top faves from our fun afternoon, however be sure to check out the slideshow at the end of this post for even more photographs!
Marisa, Jonah & Darwin ~ words could never properly express how much i adore you all. it seems like just yesterday we were meeting for the first time at Caribou Coffee, then came the amazing day that was Emily & Jonathan's wedding, to your fabulous wedding day, to the creation of your wedding album, to the countless connections i have since then made with your friends,,, to the arrival of your amazing daughter!!! i have said it before & i will say it again -- this, to me, is what life is all about.
i feel the luckiest to know you & to be able to call you my friends. the happiness in my heart for Darwin is overwhelming... hopefully you will be able to 'see' it in the photos below! with great love & gratitude always,
ksen
without further ado, please meet Darwin Elizabeth!

however,
i must take a teeny-tiny moment to interrupt this post with a few pics of the newest love. of. my. life,,,
my precious nephew Daniel Luca Stella!!!
he wasn't even an hour into this world when i took these photos below of him with his proud Mom & Dad,
my sister Olga, & brother in-law, Dante (who you may also remember from this post).
isn't he the sweeeetest little thing??! i can't stand it! of course,,, more pics to come soon!




an early morning in Venice :

a peek into just one, of the many, fantabulous stores in Florence :


Jon Pollock, of Ciao Andiamo waiting patiently as i do my thing.
it is SO hard not to stop every 3 1/2 seconds to take a photograph of something, especially in Italy!!!


i do believe the clouds were actually painted into the sky that day... 



i *heart* Filippo Lippi! of course, this is not his original artwork, but quite magical none-the-less
:


yes, please! 

i know i had posted this image on a previous post,,, but looking at it takes me back to a time i used to sit on the Arno, sketch, laugh, read, & watch the sunset with my friends. looking at this image brings light into my heart :





..olive trees!

the mood & perspective in this image makes my heart flutter ~happy~ :

more artwork by the fabulous Carlotta Parisi:

do you see the cross in the distance? 


every day we get this gift of immense LOVE & LIGHT,,, literally. it so bright & larger than life -- so how is that we can sometimes ignore it or take it for granted???!

love, love & love :



(remember,,, passcode is : AFRICA!
wishing you a very happy "wednesday's whimsy"!
