By far, this was one of the best sessions of the summer!  This sweet family is not just amazing, but hilarious and genuine!  I loved spending some time with them today!  Enjoy a sneak of their perfect family session!

Ardan Family | Birth Story

One of my favorite things in life, is the beauty and joy in an expecting mother.  The connection between mother and child is so beautiful.  The journey your body has taken over the past months and all that is yet to come, is a connection like nothing else.  The anticipation, wondering, dreaming and love they feel is incredible; I am always amazed by it.  There is a simple sweetness in being able to create life.

I am incredibly blessed to be a part of something this special!  The intimacy of a birth and the raw emotion is not easy to share with just anyone.  Its been wonderful to connect with this family over the past few months and the trust they have for me to capture a life event such as this, is overwhelmingly special!  I can't thank them enough for allowing me to be a part of their journey.

Congratulations Ardans Family!  Addie is absolutely perfect!

Best Friends | lifestyle

Best friends, a lot of the time, are just like sisters.  The sister you never had or the sister you always wanted.

These girls have been friends since they were little!  I loved that I had the chance to snap a few photos of them in one of the best places ever, Marla Bay, Lake Tahoe!

 

 

The Thompson's | Family

I can't tell you how much I looovvveeee this family!  They have been so wonderful to me!  Their sweet boy Cruz just has me by the heart!!

With Amy and Ray celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary, family in town from "down unda" and Cruz turning the big "7", it was only fitting to get together to make some memories! Enjoy this sneak!

 

 

Teagan & Farren | Family

Brother and sister sessions are always so much fun. Personality is all over the place and those quirky and goofy faces always make an appearance.  Not that this wasn't anything like that, but I have to say the love and friendship between these two was not unnoticed!  I loved everything about the time I got to spend with them.  I haven't seen them in years and it warmed my heart to be asked to photograph them.  Thank you Teagan and Farren for a wonderful session.
