Ethan

I got to meet little Ethan last week. He was just 7 days old! I’ve known his Mommy, Julie since we were children. It was so cool to see her married with her first baby. She was as happy as can be! Ethan was so tiny and quiet. He laid stretched out in Daddy’s arms. When we put him down he just cozied up and went to sleep. He was good for me the whole time!

Congratulations Julie & Derek!

“If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements. You don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by.” – F. Burton Howard

Sophie

Sophie is the cutest, most loveable little baby! She smiled the whole session. This is one of the most fun ages; where they’re happy, semi-mobile but still need and want you. I miss those days.

This will be little Sophie’s first Christmas. I’m sure it’ll be a special experience for Mommy and Daddy.

Merry Christmas Lil Sophie!

Cousins

I’m blessed with a great (and big) family! One of my close cousins asked me to photograph her and her kids. They’re all very stylish and photogenic so I just knew we’d end up with gorgeous pictures. And I was right! I’m in love with every single one of them!

You can see each of the kids personalities in their pictures. Trinity is confident and outgoing. Elayah is relaxed and quiet. Nico is playful and photogenic. Rachelle is the best Mommy any kid could ask for. She’s loving, smart, creative and tons of fun! And I can’t forget Lucy, they’re loyal little pug-she wouldn’t leave their sides. She “smiled” for all her pictures! They’re all a happy, loving bunch!

The Burke-Mendoza Family

I met the Burke-Mendoza family last weekend. They have 2 adorable boys; Brayden and Byron. And I mean ADORABLE! Brayden wasn’t exactly excited to take pictures but what 3 year old is?! He did well even though he didn’t want to participate. Little Byron sat contently in his Mommy and Daddy’s arms with a look of awe on his face (I tend to have that affect.. haha I’m soooo kidding!)..

I’m glad I had the chance to meet them and be apart of their holiday experience! Happy Holidays Brandon, Odessa and boys!m1m5m6m7m3m2m8m9m10dip

Ron, Nicole + 2!!

I met Ron & Nicole back in March for their family/maternity session while Nicole was pregnant with Rian. They we’re super easy and fun. The pictures came out good and Nicole promised to photograph the baby when she came. Well the time came to meet little Miss Rian and she was full of smiles! Their session went as smooth as butter! From the first to the very last photo-they all came out great.. Jayden loves being a big brother and Rian seems to be very amused by him. I’m ecstatic I got the opportunity to see and photograph them again!!

Happy Holidays Ron, Nicole, Jayden & Rian! xoxo

The Tyner Family

I got to photograph one of my favorite families last weekend; the Tyner Family. I met them last year for their holiday family portraits and photographed sweet little Romy’s first birthday earlier this year. Sandra is super stylish and creative. (I look up to her..) So I know her family pictures are always going to look fabulous!

It’s so cool seeing her girls growing! Little Romy was not even a year when we met. Now she’ll be two in a couple of months. They’re so precious!

Happy Holidays Tyners!
