Shefali Lindsey Photography Blog: family: brandon+kristie+kalie+addison

Awhile back, my company held a fundraiser for the people of Joplin. As devastating as the tornado was that destroyed most of Joplin, it was amazing to see people all across the country come together and help by donating clothing items and running auctions and fundraisers. One of the big events we held as part of our efforts to raise money was a silent auction. And, as part of my love for giving back where I can, I donated three photography sessions. The lucky winner: Kristie Brazzle and her family.

Kristie works for our sister company, so leading up to the days when I got the chance to meet Kristie, I was VERY excited. It took us all but one second to hit it off and for Bryan and I to feel right at home with this family. Our theme of the session: fun. Kristie is married to Brandon who is a very funny and loving man. Together they have built a life surrounded by their two VERY beautiful girls, Kalie and Addison. If I say so myself, these two girls have a bright future especially Miss Kalie. She has a smile that can knock anyone off their feet and this indescribable loving nature that melts your heart. As for Miss Addison, well she is SO. MUCH. FUN. She just turned one, learned to walk and is full of that adventurous spirit! My favorite is when she "wobble walks" as I like to call it. I am so happy that I not only got to donate for such a great cause, but I got the chance to photograph this ever so beautiful family!

Without further ado, I present to you the Brazzle family!
