After a couple solid days of rain, the clouds lifted just in time for little CJ to get some family photos done! I met up with Shane, Tara, and CJ, along with their little “foxy” dog Nikko by the river in Hillcrest. It was such a beautiful spot, I wish I could do so many more photos there! CJ really wanted to display her independence, but we found a few tricks to keep her interested in the photo session. (more…)
It’s getting hard to deny that I’m an “adult” now that my best friends from childhood are having babies! Tennille welcomed her first into the world a few months ago when Ava was born to her and Jim. Ava looks soooo much like Tennille at times it’s scary, but I guess there is no denying who her momma is. It was great to see them now as a family and they are so radiant with happiness :) (more…)
What a perfect way to end wedding season! Kallie and Wallie were married at the Coast Hotel (where they also partied later that night) on the cusp of autumn, and lucky for us it stopped raining and we had a beautiful day. These two are so freaking fun; Wallie used to be a wrestler so he’s constantly performing, and Kallie is pretty good at keeping up with him! On top of that, I can’t get over how cute they are – c’mon, even their names match. I often found myself teary-eyed along with them because their stories were so sweet and the happy emotions were so high. It felt much more like spending the day with friends than working :) (more…)
Ed and Lindsay met up with me just after the leaves started changing colors to take their first family photos since they’ve had their baby Oliver. Oliver was so incredibly easy to photograph since he always looked at the camera and I found just the right sound effects to make him laugh. What a cute family! (more…)
It was great to see Liz, Aaron, and their little Amelia again. The last time I saw her, she wasn’t even walking, and now she only runs! (As a result, these photos weren’t as easy to get as they looked.) She is adorable and so full of energy. I’m glad we tricked her to pause enough times for photos :) (more…)
I’ve been taking photos of Eva since she was born, and it’s so fun to see how fast she’s growing and to see her personality develop. She’s starting to learn independence, and I love that the easiest way to get her to do what we wanted was to threaten that her mom, Alisa, would do it first! Eva would charge past us to be the trail blazer each time :) (more…)
