This adorable family has a special place in my heart. I love when I get the opportunity to watch a family grow, so when a bride and groom come back and I get to watch as their family grows it makes me incredibly happy. And seriously, could they be any cuter?
I was chatting with a friend at the beginning of the year about photography, business, enneagram numbers, personality, and how all of that affects how we view and manage our businesses. Sometimes dinner and a conversation with a friend can help you to have clarity about who you are. I certainly had that moment of clarity when she looked at me and said, "You love to photograph love." She was absolutely right!
When people ask me what my favorite thing is to photograph, in the past I have said, "Well, I love babies- and littles - and families- and engagements - and weddings, and I can't really pick just one favorite." What it comes down to it, my favorite thing is watching connections between people. Affection. Tenderness. Body Language. Knowing looks. I love LOVE!
This past week I had the privilege, again, of doing my favorite thing. I had met both Ethan and Jaz, but hadn't really had the chance to see them together.
The way he holds her.
The way she looks at him.
I'm looking forward to capturing more of their love in less than 1 week.
I could not be happier to celebrate a new life with my friends Luke and Heather. These precious babies are the manifestation of my (and many others) prayers. Holding Baby A in my arms felt like all the Goodness of the Lord. Also, seeing "K" grow up to be a big sister with a big smile and beautiful heart brought me so much joy. Life can be tough, but moments like these are treasured in my heart.
Congratulations Luke and Heather. I love seeing these guys grow~

I started out the year in a beautiful way - celebrating the upcoming graduation of Madelyn Grace! I've known Madelyn for several years now and it felt so special to have a role in celebrating a new milestone. MG is an amazingly talented musician, beautiful, and smart. She is a singer/song writer and everything I've heard of hers is straight from the heart. She has big ambitions and I cannot wait to see where her path leads.
