The A Family

This family is near and dear to my heart. Ashley and I went through the teaching credential program together (I consider myself a "retired" teacher. It sounds so much better than laid off) and became great friends. Baby Aubriella was one of my first newborns to photograph and I was so honored that Ashley allowed me the honors of capturing those precious first moments. Ashley has been one of my biggest supporters and I am SO grateful for that. It has been a blessing watching Ashley and Mikey become parents and excel in their new role. They are truly spectacular and Aubriella is an incredibly lucky little girl. Thanks guys! You are the best!!

And for the heck of it, here's one of Aubs' newborn pictures. Incredible how much we have both grown in such a short eight months. ;)

Beautiful, Blued Eyed Ava

Ava. She is every photographer's dream. Her eyes are incredible and she is so sweet and calm. I was blown away by her demeanor the entire shoot. It went SO smoothly. I have no doubt, it's because Trisha is her mom... And if I'm giving relatives credit... I'm also going to have to give a shout out to Ava's awesome Grandma, Karen.

Trisha, Karen, and Ava, thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing me to capture these precious moments for you. It truly was an honor. You made one heck of a trip and I hope these make up for that. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And while I'm thanking people.... Thank you to all of Ava's adoring fans. I don't think my facebook page ever received so much love. You guys rock. You are all good people, no doubt, and I like good people. Thank you!

Introducing Addy

Meet Addy. She is just precious and her parents and big sister are over the moon in love with her (for obvious reasons). I am so honored and blessed to be friends with this amazing family. They are simply wonderful. Addy you are one lucky little girl.

The A Family

Be prepared to be blown away by this family's gorgeousness. Seriously. I am in love with these pictures and feel beyond blessed to have been asked to capture them for The A Family. Jackie and Justin are as beautiful inside as they are out and their new little girl Addison is over the moon lucky to be loved by them.  We had fun hiking all over the hills and they were such good sports walking around in the heat, as I promised killer light in their pictures. Jackie and Justin, you are such wonderful people and you have created such a sweet, pretty little girl. The joy she brings to your life is apparent on your faces and I must say, parenthood looks amazing on you. Thank you again guys! You are awesome!
