I really can't tell you how much I love seeing families grow. And it's especially amazing when I get to see it happen through my lens :) Meet Livienne Amelie, the newest addition to one of my favorite families ever.
Does this photo look familiar? It's Livi! Mom and Dad wanted to recreate some of their favorite photos from big sister, Jazelle's newborn shoot. I was more than happy to oblige :)
Here's Jazzy... isn't she so big?! Time goes by too fast...

I love those curly eyelashes!

Jazzy managed to keep still for just about 2 seconds so I could catch this photo :)

My favorite of the day!!!




She's such a good sleeper!


Of course, we had to get some photos of the big sister :)




Well that's it for now. Keep your eye out for another adorable baby tomorrow!
(I'd love to hear from you)

A couple weeks ago Tiffany and Steve got married at the amazing Bing Crosby Estate in Rancho Mirage. It was a gorgeous day and the wedding was nothing short of perfect with lots of laughing, dancing, and celebrating... I was honored to be a part of it :) Here are a few of my favorites of the day. Thanks for looking!
Sparkly shoes!
I love all the teamwork involved in getting the bride dressed :)

Tiffany's hair was sooooo pretty... I wish I had curls like that.

Tiffany's new son, Trey, is quite possibly one of the sweetest, cutest kids on the planet. I love this moment when he came in and saw Tiffany all dressed up:

Smiles!

Ok, really? Tiffany, you are absolutely stunning!

And Steve, you're pretty handsome yourself :)

Trey is like a mini Steve with lighter hair :)


Husband and wife!


The new little family:

Another little baby is growing up way too fast in front of my camera... here is little Halliday Grace at 10 months old:

There's nothing like a baby's first birthday to make you realize how quickly time passes. I feel like I just took Logan's newborn photos and now he's already a year old! It was so fun watching him grow and change throughout the year... and now he has a little sister on the way!
Here are some of my favorite photos from throughout the year :) Thanks for looking!
Of course, it all started with belly photos...

And then sweet little newborn photos :)

4 months old

6 months old

8 months old

10 months old

And, finally, 1 year!


Shenanigans!




We had to take more belly photos! Lacey is due in April :)




My favorite of the day :)


And I'll end with Logan happily running amok :)
