It’s hard to believe that Eliza is two! Especially since it seems like yesterday that I took her parents maternity pictures. When I first showed up, Kelsi gave me a look and said, “She didn’t nap.” We were afraid that would completely ruin the day, but (thankfully) we were so wrong. What a precious and thoughtful little beauty Eliza is! And we even scored some awesome pictures with her baby sister, Nöel!









My sweet cousin Bethany drove down from Orange County and gave me the pleasure of photographing her GORGEOUS daughter. Anna is only ten days younger than my son, so it’s fun to see them run around the back yard together. I am so in love with Anna’s pigtails, her precious dress and her serious little personality. Please come down again soon, Bethany, so we can have the kids all play together again!







I think this little girl has the SWEETEST face there is. We had a fun time running around the park. She is incredibly busy (although aren’t ALL 1-year-olds?!), adventurous and athletic. There is a very good chance in a couple years, she is going to be tearing up the soccer field.










I can’t believe that Gigi is 4 already!! Where does the time go?! I swear it was yesterday that she was the precious little flower girl (only 2 months old!) in my wedding. We had planned to do a total family shoot, but had way too much fun eating Nicole’s homemade pizza that it got late and little brother Brody got too tired. I’m stoked on how many shots we got of Gianna though. I think she was super excited to be the center of attention, but then again, what four-year-old wouldn’t be?!






And this one just for fun…

My beautiful niece is turning 2!!! How can that be already?! We headed out to Discovery Lake to capture this milestone and Addie was quite the little model! I just LOVE her!!!!








My amazing cousin, Jodi, came over today to give me a break from potty training hell. In exchange I took her adorable daughter outside to breathe some fresh air. While we were out there, I thought I’d capture a few shots of her exploring. One is such a fun age!






My beautiful friend Jen gave birth to the most precious baby girl a little over three weeks ago and we finally got around to taking some pictures of her, although I’m sure I’ll be taking many more over the years to come. I really hope she and my son will be best buds someday!






I met with the Yphantides this afternoon at their beautiful home. This family was so much fun and made my job so easy. In fact, this is the biggest post so far because I had so many great pictures of them to choose from! They are also excellent fake laughers and I’m not lying when I say I want my kids to be just like theirs when they are older because they were so sweet, funny and well-behaved.












Chris and I work together during our “day jobs” and she is also an amazing photographer (our family has been lucky enough to be her models). I give the prize for “easiest shoot ever” to this family. They were so laid back and their kids were PERFECT!! Plus, it was a beautiful day after such a rainy week.








My niece, Adelaide June, turned 1 on April 21. She is growing up into such a beautiful little lady, who makes me laugh at all the funny faces she makes. My husband looks at Addie’s pictures and says it makes him want to have a girl. Those are my thoughts exactly!
