OMG! OMG! The video of Addi continuously asking for her “Mike” is absolutely adorable. Talk about tugging on the heart strings!!!!

Maya LaurentAugust 17, 2010 - 12:48 pm

Oh my…so precious!

Chrissie RaysorAugust 16, 2010 - 8:59 am

Dear god that is the cutest thing. I’m a fan of mmmmMike too, but I’m no where near as cute as Addi!

tashaAugust 14, 2010 - 2:56 pm

Standin on the books! Hahahaha!! I love it. Addi is super adorable! I love how much she loves you two…what a sweetheart. Mark has Mike’s shoes too, who knew Crocs could be so badass?

Sasha FarinaAugust 13, 2010 - 2:01 am

*sigh* super SUPER cute… holding tight to my ovaries now. LOL.

cathy empeyAugust 13, 2010 - 1:14 am

So cute! I think you look amazing, loose clothes and all! Way to go!!

Hannah TaylorAugust 12, 2010 - 10:05 pm

haha! that’s great! I wish my clothes were too big! Don’t be so hard on yourself, you look great!!!

gailAugust 12, 2010 - 9:37 pm

I think you could get Mike a T-shirt now that says “Standing on the Books”

Or maybe “Where’s the Mike?” hehe SOOO cute!

CrystalAugust 12, 2010 - 5:24 pm

I love how you used cornholio in your post.. love it! what a fun session, you guys rock.

RyanAugust 12, 2010 - 4:24 pm

I really hope both these girls have their mom’s rhythm. I dance like the whitest guy ever – moving with the gracefulness of a newborn giraffe. Haha good stuff.

bobbiAugust 12, 2010 - 3:23 pm

bobbi, hooray.

chelle (meech)August 12, 2010 - 3:17 pm

I never knew the word “hooray” could be so adorable.

April NienhuisAugust 12, 2010 - 3:15 pm

How adorable!

I *need* to know where the “proud to be humble” shirt is from. Humble is my maiden name and my dad would flip for that shirt.

Stephanie StewartAugust 12, 2010 - 2:50 pm

My hubby has the same shoes that Mike has! He loves them!
And Addison is sooooooo cute!!!! OMG! So excited to sooooooomeday have kiddos as cute as her!!!

jennyAugust 12, 2010 - 2:48 pm

tricia burnsAugust 12, 2010 - 2:10 pm

“I am cornholio, I need tee pee for my bunghole.” LOLOLOLOL! LOVED seeing this. So adorable!

bethany coxAugust 12, 2010 - 1:29 pm

where in the world did that amazing “proud to be humble” shirt come from. i LOVE LOVE LOVE it. and this little one is cute as a button, btw.

bobbiAugust 12, 2010 - 1:15 pm

Angi, take a video & SEND!!!!

Sarah LajevardiAugust 12, 2010 - 1:13 pm

“Standing on the books” is going to become the next you tube hit! And by the way, you look FAB! Your clothes could be too small and that would feel way worse. ; )

Angi DavisAugust 12, 2010 - 1:04 pm

“Standing on the books…standing on the books!” My son, Galvin, has already begun putting this to his beatbox sounds – I’ll try to get a video of that next. HA!

andrea+ryan+addison+baby girl

08.11.10

I’ve never loved a family session more than I love this one. Are they the best family photos I’ve ever taken? Probably not. But, do they have people in them that I love? Absolutely.

You see, I’m an only child and I’ve never really been around kids. Wait, that didn’t sound right. I mean… I’ve been around kids, but not just one… and not just one that I’ve grown super attached to… ever. Does that make sense?

For example, my best friend Corrie has a 2 year old son, Zachary… I see him every time I go to Kansas City. I love that kid because I love Corrie. Does he remember me when he sees me each time. No. Do I know what makes him laugh? No. Do I know what he’s learned this month? No. Do I live in Kansas City? No. Do I wish I these answers were all yes? YES!

Then there’s Addison. I see her often. She knows my name and loves to say it. She reaches for me to hold her, and I do (if you know me, you KNOW how big of a deal this is). I know how to make her giggle uncontrollably. I dance when she pee pee’s in the potty. According to Andrea she wakes up saying our names, “bobbi bobbi bobbi and mmmikkkkkke.” Have I ever experienced this kind of relationship with ANY other kid?! Not even close!

Addi makes my heart smile.

I’ve been beyond excited to show you these images… So, I’ll shush so you can see.

My view.

Mike’s. Addison was so fun to photograph. She added an entirely new element to a bobbi+mike family session. You see, Addi was very concerned with where we were at all times. I’d stand back to get a photo of the family and she wanted me closer. She’d put her hand out to me like… “Are you coming?! What’s taking you so long… Hurry up!” So, I shot most of the session with a wide angle lens so that I could be closer to her.

Like Momma, like daughter. See, they’re making the EXACT same face

Andrea’s body language is hilarious to me. “If you drop my baby, I will hurt you… but I am smiling anyway because I know Bobbi and Mike are taking my picture…”

AHHHHHHHH!!!!! SOOOO STINKING CUUUUUUTE!!!!!!

Love.

When we all go out in a group, people often assume that Addi’s my daughter. They look at me and say… “I SEE WHERE SHE GETS THAT RED HAIR!!!!” I usually just nod and say something like, “what can I say, we’re quite Irish!” Easier than explaining… Then, Andrea will usually respond with, “Ohhhh Bobbi & Ryan… so nice of you to invite your nanny along!” We think we’re funny. Maybe a bit inappropriate.. but, definitely funny.

My favorite It’s the perfect photo of this family. So much love.

Uhm, whose idea was it to lay a pregnant lady down in a PARKING LOT?! Definitely not my smartest choice of the year. Still made for a cool photo or two

THENNNN… we finished up the session… AT A DINER!!!! I’ve been DYING to shoot in a diner and when we were brainstorming about the session, I suggested it. Ryan LOVED the idea and we made it happen Here again, “Come on Bobbi! Why aren’t you hanging out with us back THERE?!”

IT’S MILKSHAKE TIME! If you look up “cute” in the dictionary, you’ll find this. I promise. Go look. Now.

HOT PREGNANT LADY ALERT… HOT PREGNANT LADY ALERT!!!!!!

Love. again.

………………………………….

indianapolis, ind.

Love to you friends…

~bobbi and mike

GO GO GADGET FLEXIBLE

GO GO GADGET BACKWARDS ELBOWS & FINGERS!

Uhm… MELLLLLLLLT!!!!!!

How can you not adore her?!

So art director Ryan and I had a fun idea… Stand Addi on a stack of books. Easy enough, right?! …or so we thought.

She wanted absolutely nothing to do with it! So, what did we do?! They made standing on the books look like the funnest thing in the world to do. Here’s Ryan singing “standing on the boo-oooks, standing on the boo-oooks” while Andrea danced

Mike had to try it out himself… after all Ryan and Andrea made it look so fun! Still, no dice.

So, after much coercion here’s the pinnacle “standing on the books” moment… that lasted all of about 2 seconds. It clearly wasn’t as fun as mom and dad made it appear! She felt duped. I suppose I understand. Standing on books is kinda lame.

“Peace… I’ll show you what fun really is betties.”

We need a team name. Dontchya think? Confirmed!

ClaryAugust 12, 2010 - 5:15 pm

H&K HebertAugust 12, 2010 - 12:21 am

Are you FOR REAL!? Loved every one… My favorite has to be the picture of Addie enjoying her milkshake sitting between mom & dad. Amazing. I want to have children so that you can photograph them….

beccaAugust 11, 2010 - 11:52 pm

that is the most beautiful and cool looking baby i have ever seen!!!

AndreaAugust 11, 2010 - 9:44 pm

For the record…

Yes, I am slightly overprotective.
These photos capture us perfectly. Absolutely perfectly.
The sandals are Steve Madden.
Addi keeps demanding to see more pictures of Mike, Bobbi you better keep an eye on your man, somebody has a little crush
I love that the range of my Little Red’s expressions are captured here. I’m a bit partial, but isn’t she the cutest?
The jury is still out on the red hair- although we’ve ruled out the milkman.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words- bobbi+mike work their magic once again!

KatieAugust 11, 2010 - 8:16 pm

GAH!! So beautiful and full of love and fun! Andrea (through our great friend Brad) is the reason we are friends with Bobbi+Mike now and have the AMAZING wedding photos we do. Thank you! And hooray for you guys for having such a lovely fam!

Jess StricklandAugust 11, 2010 - 7:08 pm

BEST FAMILY SHOOT EVER. period.

MarisaAugust 11, 2010 - 6:38 pm

What I love about this shoot is that you can tell you are close to the family, there is this warmth that exudes from these pictures. You may not think they are your best technically, but something has to be said about pictures being the best simply because they have heart and soul. Beautiful as always!

erinAugust 11, 2010 - 6:24 pm

this might be my favorite family shoot you have ever done- cute family and great ideas! love you guys and your blog.

Bobbi and Mike~ Amazing collection of pictures! What an amazingly beautiful, unique family!!!! My all-time favorite is the diner pic of the little girl drinking the shake! That’s a classic!!!! Beautiful work!

carlyAugust 11, 2010 - 3:05 pm

Gosh… I remember the session you did when Addison was only a few months old and the photo of her in Andrea’s arms, pushing herself back and spreading her arms wide, like she just wanted to bask in the beautiful daylight… And I thought then, “That kid is magical!” And she still is! What a gorgeous family! So excited to see Baby #2 and how magical she will be as well! Once again, well done, guys! Beautiful work, as always!

Alison DAugust 11, 2010 - 2:36 pm

This family is gorgeous and your relationship with them totally shows right through and I love it. The milkshake shots are absolutely perfect and are everything family shoots are about. Can’t wait to see the baby shots of Addi’s new sibling!

jess@studio3zAugust 11, 2010 - 1:29 pm

OH MY GOODNESS, OH MY GOODNESS…this session has me crying, and the laughing my ass off at the same time. Photos I adore: The photo with Andrea’s body language (saw photo before your comment, and thought the same thing!), and then the next three after that. The one of them on the blanket that you liked Bobbi, and the diner one- ahhhhhhhhhh. So precious. And then….I get to the books. And then I lost it. Seriously….your commentary, the photos, priceless!! AND I LOVE the shot of her standing on them and her little face. I say it all the time, her face is edible. She is beyond precious. I love that she loves you guys so much. Now I’ll try to shut up, but that is one beautiful family, inside and out.

Maya LaurentAugust 11, 2010 - 12:46 pm

Ahhhhhh! Fav family session!!! Andrea, could you be any cuter and tinier all pregnant?!!! Ryan, charming as ever and Addi, you will look beautiful as Zane’s bride one day.

JohnAugust 11, 2010 - 10:43 am

Ya, this is hands down one of my favorite BBMK posts ever. Seriously. The milkshake shot? AYKM? I love every single thing about it and want the exact same shot with our little girl when she’s Addi’s age. K? K. What an awesome shoot!

Lisa DavisAugust 11, 2010 - 10:34 am

LauraAugust 11, 2010 - 10:19 am

I have been reading your blog for about 6 months, but this is my first comment. The picture of Addie with the milkshake at her parents feet is to die for. It is awesome! You are an inspiration. I love all your work.

ShellyAugust 11, 2010 - 10:10 am

I loved these!!! They are such a cute family:)

RyanAugust 11, 2010 - 10:09 am

p.s. Just remembered, most of the people I am doing a bazillion things for read your blog. Wups. Blame bobbi+mike for serving this up on a Wednesday morning and stopping me dead in my tracks. Their fault.

jess anneAugust 11, 2010 - 10:07 am

I Love it! I always feel like I’m there when I read about your sessions, perfecto

RyanAugust 11, 2010 - 10:06 am

It’s 10am. I have a bazillion and a half things to do. & I haven’t peeled my eyes from these pictures since 7. Thanks for that.

Brie GerdingAugust 11, 2010 - 9:53 am

Bobbi, I don’t know Andrea & Ryan (or Addison) as well as you and Mike, but I do remember them from our Spirit of Sport days at IU. They’re totally awesome! I think this is one of your best family sessions … but for the same reason – it’s Andrea, Ryan, & Addi! I love looking at the blog and seeing familiar faces! They’re such a sweet couple, and Addi is so dang cute. I can’t wait to see pictures of baby girl when she arrives! Andrea – you picked out the CUTEST outfit for that little girl. The little rolled up jeans are my favorite! Also, I concur that diners have it going on.

RuthieAugust 11, 2010 - 9:49 am

I must know where this cute pregnant lady got those amazing gladiator sandles???!
I LOVE them!
ps. cutest kid around!

Beauty by CrystalAugust 11, 2010 - 9:40 am

Momma MAugust 11, 2010 - 9:39 am

The picture with the little girl and the milkshake in between her parents feet is MONEY! It should be in a magazine. It is perfect

ChantelAugust 11, 2010 - 9:34 am

Kelli NicoleAugust 11, 2010 - 9:22 am

PS — DYING to see who that next little Hunley is going to favor

Christine PobkeAugust 11, 2010 - 9:06 am

Oh my Bobbi + Mike. Oh me oh mo oh my!! Beautimous work, my dears.

GailAugust 11, 2010 - 9:05 am

Oh Bobbi. And Mike. And Ryan and Andrea and little Addison. You five steal my heart every time you do a session.

This is definitely one of my favorite family sessions, like, ever.

And honestly? That face Addison is making on the stack of books? Makes it my favorite shot of the whole bunch.

And my favorite quote about family that comes to mind with this crew?

“You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.” — Bishop Desmond Tutu

Ain’t that the true?

Betsy KingAugust 11, 2010 - 8:59 am

SO. FREAKIN. CUTE!!!!

Dang it, I want to live in Indy and do BFF things like this!!! I”ll just have to be ok with surprise pop ins.

This family is AWESOME! So much love and creativity and good vibes all wrapped up in an adorable package. Thanks for introducing me to them!

Lots of love to you Hunley family!!!! You are SO cute. Like, seriously, so freakin cute.

RavynAugust 11, 2010 - 8:54 am

Oh my goodness. The best! I LOVE the shot towards the end of the little one on her little bike, haha. Made me laugh out loud. She just looks like she’s on a big mission!

Steph HAugust 11, 2010 - 8:53 am

It is this session that cements in my brain that someday you will take pictures of my little family. And I will have a big giant canvas over my bed. Perfection, Bobbi.
Oh, and the smart*ss nanny comment makes me want to be Andrea’s friend. I love people with a quick comeback!

Sasha FarinaAugust 11, 2010 - 8:50 am

awesome family – captured!

johnwairephotoAugust 11, 2010 - 8:49 am

kello!August 11, 2010 - 4:00 am

you guys are simply amazing. every time i see a new blog, i sit and and breathe out little phrases like, “wooow” or “Ohhhh” hahaha

ConnieAugust 11, 2010 - 3:42 am

Hi Bobbi! It’s Amanda on my mom’s account. Nice family pictures!

jessica+bobby

08.09.10

Bobby’s genuine smile is infectious.

And so is Jessica’s. Yeah, if you’re doing the math… that’s a whole lotta infectious smiles going on. Thank heavens I have dimples to give me a bit of relief from all of the smiling. PS. I made that up about the dimples… but it sounded good, right?! PPS. Just to clarify… I didn’t make up the part about HAVING dimples… I made up the part about the relief they gave me Okay. I’m not allowed to blog any more on such little sleep… I’m shushing now.

They chose to see each other before the ceremony. Here was their first sight. My view on the left, Mike’s on the right.

IT’S PICTURE TIIIIIME! When Jessica and Bobby met with us for the first time Jessica told us that she wanted to take it easy on her wedding day… as most of her bridesmaid experiences with photographers have been a bit hectic. Well, I can’t say that I’m not guilty of the same thing. You see… on a wedding day, I’m a fast mover. A ridiculously fast mover. Don’t go assuming here… just because my legs are mutant short doesn’t mean they can’t MOOOOOVE! Anyway… to force myself to slow down that day, I wore uncomfortable shoes during picture time. I know that sounds stupid… but I promise you… it’s the only thing that would have worked. On a wedding day, I go into auto pilot… LET’S GO GO GO! So, yes… it worked… I’m a genius… with uhm… swollen feet…

Oh, hello gorgeous bridesmaids My view.

Mike’s Meet Lily… I think she wanted to be in the photo, too…

OHHHH JESSICA… YOU ARE FUNNNNNY!

…. Backstreet’s Back ALRIGHT!

Bobby+groomsmen… JUSSSSST in case you were thinking of putting out an album with some dope beats combined with wicked synchronized dancing… I’m 3 steps ahead of you…. here is your boy band album cover. Yeah, you’re welcome for that. This one’s on me! PS. I’m officially getting old, it pained me to say “dope” & “wicked” WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

I went a little OTT on the portraits. But, can you blame me?! They said, on numerous occasions, “the photos are a priority… and we want to make sure we have plenty of time!” And that you did! Thank you friends

My favorite

My view…

Mike’s. He wins. No contest. Love this. His fave

…an incredibly emotional/perfect prayer right before they walked down the aisle.

Jessica and Bobby chose to have more of a mingling reception (rather than a dancing/DJ reception). They incorporated many of the things most of us know as reception events into their ceremony. Fathers often give a toast… at this wedding, both of the fathers came up and gave their blessing. It was very cool!

My view, my view. I’M LIKE LIGHTNING I’M SO FAST!

Finally… BLINNNNNG!

brides walk down the aisle: “On a Night Like This” -Dave Barnes

jessica+bobby

What was the most memorable moment of your day?
jess: The most memorable moment of the day for me was when we exchanged vows. There is something so real and so powerful about those promises and about that moment! I started to tear up, then Bobby made me laugh.
bobby: The moment that I’ll remember forever is when Jess walked into the room. When the pianist started the intro for “On a Night Like This” and Jess appeared in the balcony, I suddenly realized that this was happening… This was not a rehearsal, this was not someone else’s wedding, THIS WAS REALLY HAPPENING! I was awestruck and really couldn’t do anything other than smile the biggest smile I’ve ever smiled.

What was your favorite detail?
jess: The programs! They were a bit of a custom creation that Bobby and I put together between us (and Kinko’s). To give everyone more of an idea of who we are, we wrote our thoughts about all the wedding details in the program. It made the details of the day a little more personal, and now it’s something fun we can keep to remember the day, too.
bobby: My favorite detail was that Jess was there. :-)

Any advice for future bride/grooms?
jess: Really, really love the person you’re marrying. And remember – that’s the whole reason for the wedding!!
bobby: Surround yourself with your close friends and your family and just lose yourself. We didn’t leave room for stress or worry – instead we made room for family, fun and great memories!

Funniest memory from your wedding day?
jess: Um, trying to take off my huge slip in an elevator after the wedding, before the reception. (Apologies to the people getting off the elevator as I was getting on. If you were wearing that slip for 3 hours, you’d understand.)
bobby: We included the best man’s toast as a part of the ceremony. I had no idea that my brother was going to take this opportunity to roast me. He spent about 10 minutes getting his two cents in… he had the guests laughing so hard that they were falling out of their chairs! Some of the guests are still talking about it… Maybe he’s got a career in this?

If you could do it all over, would you change anything?
bobby: What makes it so special is that it was a once in a lifetime moment for us. I wouldn’t change anything. :-)

What was your favorite wedding purchase?
bobby: The honeymoon!
jess: bobbi+mike. We looooved being able to trust them to find the beauty in the day.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?
jess: Fiji! He totally surprised me! I had no idea where we were going until we were at the ticket counter in the airport! It was such a great experience and EXACTLY what we needed.

Anything else you’d like to include?
jess: A huge thanks to Jessi Warner and the staff at the ArtsGarden for coordinating the details of the day!

I wanted to get a “Bobbi(y) squared” photo… it was my only request. Mike just HAPPENED to capture us RIGHT before our high five. Clearly I was REALLY excited about this. Afterall, it’s not every day I meet someone with my name!

bobbi+mike

our favorites: 1. Lilly the flower girl was one of the most adorable flower girls we’ve ever seen in action. “Lilly, you look like a princess!” “No… I’m PRETTIER than a princess!” 2. when Shaunquia and Lara rushed over to throw a do-rag on Jessica’s hair right before she put her dress on so that she didn’t mess up her hair. It was funny to me. Go back and look at the second photo down… see it? 3. Their first sight. 4. Walking Hobbling around downtown with the wedding party taking pictures. 5. Turning an alarm on on my iPhone so that I didn’t go over on my time limit. GENIUS! Why didn’t I think of this sooner?! 6. Taking photos of Bobby and Jessica… so in love… 7. Their ceremony. Every second. 8. Their fathers’ blessing during the ceremony. 9. Watching Bobby try to hide himself wiping a tear. Too bad so sad it’s captured by me FOREVER. You’re welcome. 9. The hilarity that happened in our unboxed booth. People were trying to guess where they were going on their honeymoon with funny little notes on our new unboxed chalkboards. (No one knew except Bobby. ) 10. Finally, taking our “Bobbi(y)squared” photo

Thank you for asking us to share in such a perfect day.

Much love friends!

~bobbi+mike +

Please pay no mind to the red haired speedster that appears to be just a blur in front of the bride and groom…. man oh man… that girl is clearly FAST MOVER! She must be wearing comfortable shoes Okay, REALLY shushing this time.

Beautiful couple! The bridesmaids are wearing the shoes I wore on my wedding day!! Love them! I really like the image against the white-ish wall. Lots of sass coming from the bride – VERY cute! AND WOWZA BOBBI – if you get much smaller you’re body won’t be able to handle all that personality I love so much! You’re lookin’ HOT girl!

kymberli q.August 10, 2010 - 5:35 am

I’m a blog stalker here… Seriously, if I won the lottery, I’d marry my husband again just to have you two shoot the wedding. Love, love, love your work (and your personalities!).

bobbiAugust 10, 2010 - 2:27 am

brad, yes… it’s a new suit. HOT TAMALE!!!!! and wow to that compliment. Thank you friend!

BradAugust 10, 2010 - 2:10 am

Is that a new suit Mike? I’ve only ever seen the black one. Also, since I never mention it; I always enjoy the graphic (right word?) quality of your photos. Lots of strong lines and interesting shapes yet not at the expense of the people in the photo – each complements the other.

Cheers!
Brad

beautiful photographs and Bobbi you are looking so slim in that last photo! Nice work!!!

Lynn@ C+LAugust 10, 2010 - 12:57 am

Love your commentary almost as much as the images! You should always blog on no sleep Gorgeous portraits especially those by the brick wall – stylized but still full of real emotion, . And love the blurred walk down the street shot – so evocative!

RachaelAugust 10, 2010 - 12:43 am

Okay, there is never a shot of yours I don’t love…but the giant wide wall shots are always so awesome! I think it’s cool you can manage to find a huge awesome wall most anywhere! Gorgeous as always

bobbiAugust 10, 2010 - 12:15 am

GOOOOOOD question Erica! And yes, absolutely right, beautiful people both inside and out.

EricaAugust 10, 2010 - 12:11 am

My goodness, you’re like lightning!! How did they keep up? Great photographs, though What beautiful people!

bobbiAugust 10, 2010 - 12:11 am

Thanks Brit! Got a haircut a few days after this (had some pieces that were in BAD shape) and I’m NOT a fan. bobbi+layers+symmetrical=soccer mom.

BritAugust 10, 2010 - 12:08 am

Fantastic photos! And, man, Bobbi is your hair getting long! It’s gorgeous!

healthy train 8.

You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.

-David Viscott

So, I gained. just a bit… but it was a gain. Argh. 4.66% lost since April, 2010.

Then I remembered…

Kristen told me that I may be gaining in the near term as I’ve been doing some pretty major weight training for the past month. She was right.

So, I decided to take my measurements… even though I’d JUST taken them 2 weeks ago. What the hell… what do I have to lose?!

In just two weeks I’ve lost .25 inch on my upper arm and .5 inch on my waist… I mean… for just two weeks, that is not bad… ESPECIALLY given the fact that I’ve GAINED. Are you following me here? I’m having a hard time explaining this.

My point is this… DO NOT put all of your faith in the scale… there are so many factors that affect that number.

Have you fully emptied your bladder?
Did you go out to eat last night and have too much salt on your chicken? (too much sodium causes water retention)
Are you weight training?
Are you poo-pooing regularly?
Is it your time of the month?
Are you taking prescription meds?
Do you have a sunburn? (another cause of water retention)

Gaining two pounds on occasion is no biggie… if it’s happening every week then maybe you need to adjust fire.

Hope you all listened to me in the beginning and took your measurements

Let’s make it a goal not to be so hard on ourselves, k? Are you, overall, moving in the right direction? Yes. It’s allllll about the long term, right? RIGHT!

Speaking of long term and measurements…. Since October, 2008 here are my inches lost:

Upper Arm: 3.25″
Chest: 4.5″
Waist: 6.5″
Hips: 5.25″
Upper thigh: 5″ (this has been the biggest change to me)

TOTAL: 24.5″

Very proud of that.

Current top five six:

Jill Pollitt       19.3%
Devan Whitson     15.35%
Michelle Hunley    11.3%
Chris Rivera 11.2%
Jessica Harrison   10%
Kelly Ritter 9.9%

PS. I bought a bathing suit for the first time since my honeymoon. Regardless of my weight loss… I’m having a near anxiety attack at the thought of wearing it in public. Wish me luck friends. EEEEKS!
