One of my closest friends was visiting from Libya for a few months. It was the first time I saw her daughter! 🙂 She has the biggest, juiciest cheeks which are only outmatched by her gorgeous big green eyes. Halima was such a calm baby during our photo session…I don’t think I’ve ever seen any child that composed. Okay well that’s because our family has wild rowdy kids whom I adore! They’re wild and rowdy in a playful way…very energetic and very talkative. We spent the day taking Halima to various parts of the park and changing her into the adorable outfits Iman had chosen. One of my favorite images from the day is of Halima with a bowl of cherry tomatoes – her favorite! They even have a cute little song that they sing together about tomatoes in Arabic. 🙂 Iman’s sister Noor was along to help with Halima and it was so beautiful to see how much Noor loves her niece. It took me back to the days of my first nephew. Sigh. I was so happy to spend the day with Iman and her little one…definitely a day I will remember for a long time. Sadly they had to return to Libya a few weeks after that…but I’m hoping for another visit someday soon!
