closeAnother sweet baby graces the blog today! I had the privilege of photographing her parents engagement, their wedding and maternity session and now Layla herself. I get so much joy in these little ones and walking through major life changes with wonderful clients!
Not gonna lie, this week has been wonderful, and extremely hard. The week started on a high note with attending a birthday party, watching our city’s fireworks, shooting two newborn sessions, getting my favorite catalog in the mail, school shopping, my oldest getting hear ears pierced and then slowly descended to a week where one after the other the kids got sick. On top of being gone last week, cleaning up puke, having to play catch up, organizing my sister’s baby shower (thank goodness for my mom and other sister!!), prepping for a wedding weekend, I have to tell you I was honestly a frazzled mess!
Thankfully through it all, the Lord has been so kind and given me grace to give to my children and husband, love them in the way that they need it, send me a wonderful baby-sitter, allowed me to laugh (as my car was plastered with chalk handprints and as I scrubbed the carpet from its foul oder!) and helped me get all caught up with work.
I think we are almost in the clear and I am actually looking forward to getting out of here on Saturday as a day to myself!!
Happy weekend to you all, how was your week?!
What do a cute little puppy, wine, rain and love have in common? Amy and John!!
We headed out to the wonderful Woodland Hill winery for some photos among the vines when out of the blue a huge thundercloud came rushing in carring in high winds and lods of rain! Right before the doun pour, Amy and John were able to roam the vinyeard for a while as I snapped some photos, and then we ended up running as the rain came!
A week later we picked up where we had left off to a beautiful summer evening filled with sun and a cute pup to join us.
I can’t wait for this October wedding. I know it will be just as fun, and I am hoping much less adventurous!!
Like I said, it has been newborn week here on the blog. Easton was a great little trooper as we captured his teeny-newborness. It is a joy to work with return clients like Jeana and serve this sweet family.
Ellie was a sweetie to photograph, and I just loved her family photos with her parents and her brothers. Adding a girl to this sweet family is a dream come true for her parents!!
What a joy it was to capture Lizzy and Ryan and their now family of five! Adding these two sweet twins to the mix definitely brought life and so much joy to their session! Congratulations to you both!!
From their engagement session, to their wedding, to the birth of their first daughter and now to their second, it’s been a joy and honor to be able to photograph couples like the Wargo’s as their life changes.
It’s what makes my job so meaningful and fulfilling! Congratulations Hannah and Jake, your family is beautiful!
Including siblings in your newborn session… yes or no?
My answer is always yes.
It might feel a little chaotic in the moment, but those are often the images you end up treasuring the most—the real connection, the tiny interactions, the beginning of a new family story.
I’ve loved watching the Luong family grow through all three of their children’s newborn sessions, and those sibling moments are always some of my favorites.
If you’re wondering how it all works (and how we make it easy), I wrote a full blog post about it! Check it out in my stories
