pop-pop lets kristen and me go through the revolving doors of the bank first, each of us holding scarves tied around $5 worth of pennies. we are eager to cash in our earnings, and when we hear his loafers squeak onto the marble tiles we each hurridly take a hand and walk to the teller window. she has our suckers ready - kristen gets yellow and i green, but before she lets kristen slip hers from the counter she asks from behind the golden bars:

'darlin, where'd you get that set of curls?'

my sister quickly quips: 'JC Penny's' and slides her sugary confection from the counter-top.

no, she didn't really get her beautiful hair from Penny's (she had gotten a hair cut that day at the salon though), but she did have quite a head of hair. thankfully she can brush it on her own now and MAN what a STUNNER she has become.

ya'll are in for a REAL treat - not only do you get to feast your eyes on some gorgeousness (seriously, this chica is breathtaking) but you get to check out my madd styling skillz (that's right, styling, hair and make-up by yours truly <--which i feel like is quite an accomplishment, since if it were up to me i would inhabit sweatpants for approximately 100% of my existence).

BUT, before you meander through the following images - know one thing about miss kristen (and this may be the reason i love her the most):

she has absolutely no idea how beautiful she is.

and with that, i give you kristen :) *she is currently taken fellas, but i have an application you can fill out for a chance to be put on the waiting list to be her beau ;)

these were some of the very first images we took - i knew my job was going to be easy!
