nathaniel | newborn portraiture

I got the pleasure of photographing my adorable new nephew when he was just 5 days old. Sweet Nathaniel looks just like his little sister as a newborn. All that hair, and those cheeks... I could just eat him up! Big sister was already so good with him and such a helpful big sis. I can't believe it's already been 5 years since I got to rock her to sleep. I'm excited to watch them grow up as siblings.  They'll have so much fun together rooting for USC with mom and dad! Congrats Chad & Michelle, you make beautiful babies!!!

summer sunsets | family portraiture

Last week I got to take one of my favorite families out for their yearly portraits.  I've loved seeing their family grow over the last 4 years and have been lucky to photograph each of these beauties as newborns and up.  I can't believe the youngest is now 2!   We just did a quick mini session, but got some beautiful new images for them to fill their home with.  Seriously, could this family be more adorable?

quinn | newborn portraiture

I absolutely love doing a newborn session for a returning maternity client.  It's great getting to know the couple at the maternity shoot, and then being back to see the little one on the outside is so magical.  I absolutely adored this couple and was so excited that they wanted a lifestyle session in their home.  Quinn is definitely adored and the way she gazes at her daddy makes my heart melt.  I think this family has a beautiful and loving future ahead of them!

glowing | maternity portraiture

When they say pregnant women glow, I'm pretty sure they are talking about this beautiful mama.  This gorgeous couple had their first on the way and wanted to document her pregnancy before the big day.  I just loved working with this beautiful couple.  Their love was so apparent, and I have no doubt their little one will be absolutely adored!

grace | newborn portraiture

Remember this beautiful mama who had her maternity portraits done last month... well her beautiful girl Grace has finally arrived!  At just 7 days old she was a precious tiny bundle.  I also got the pleasure of photographing her with her beautiful family and big brothers who were so proud of their new sister.  Grace was probably one of the most alert newborns I've ever photographed.  Such a sweetheart!

first steps | family portraiture

This cutie had just taken her first steps days before our session, so she was on the go!  I love taking a more natural approach to family sessions, especially when there are little ones involved.  We had a great time letting Maeve explore and I enjoyed capturing the family just being together.

brooklyn's one | family portraiture

I've had the pleasure of photographing these gorgeous girls since they were born.  This family is gorgeous, adorable, and oh so sweet and I was so excited to get the opportunity to finally do a family session for them.  It was also Brooklyn's 1st b-day so we set aside some time to get some extra special shots of her.  Love her feisty personality!

american girl | family portraiture

What 7 year old doesn't flip over American Girl?  I got to do birthday portraits for the beautiful Bree and she of course had to get her doll Sage in on the action.  Mom and Dad wanted a few family shots which I just love to do.  It's always a pleasure to capture the love a family has for each other.  Bree is one lucky girl to be so loved!

gigi | senior portraits

It's that time again... everyone is back to school and the class of 2014 is starting up their senior year.  This gorgeous beauty is off to college this year and I just have to show off her images that I never got around to sharing this past spring.  I love seniors and always have so much fun at their sessions and Gigi's was no exception.  She was full of spirit and her personality just shined.  Enjoy your Freshman year Gigi, I have no doubt you'll have an amazing college experience!
