There are two things that I really, really love.

Iris.
And photos.

Okay, I love a few more things too… like my husband, family, friends, and mashed potatoes. But let’s go back to the first two, which are combined to bring you one of my favorite posts of all time.

The week Iris turned six months old we were lucky enough to do a session with Benfield Photography. If you live in Northwest Arkansas, chances are you’ve drooled over their photos – I know I’ve been following their blog for a couple of years now. Excited is an understatement for how I felt when I found out they would be shooting Iris. Todd and I even got in on some of the shots, so now we have some really great family portraits that we’ll cherish forever. Iris was quite the ham during the shoot, which made for lots of cute (and pretty funny) photos.

Here are a few of my favorites, which they posted on their blog here and here. Very special thanks to Dale and Meredith, who are as sweet as they are talented.
