This family…
They are part of my family.
Not by blood, but rather by divine appointment.
I was at their wedding. At the hospital, meeting the twins for the first time. Taking pictures of the littlest one when she was brought home from the hospital.
We go way back, they and I. From high school, to first jobs. To countless hours of laughter, silliness, craziness, birthday parties, moves, travels, long talks, and even a few tears.
They are the greatest family. Period.
And I thank God for them.
Miss A just celebrated her First Communion, and I was invited to attend, and take a few photographs afterwards.
She looks classically beautiful, doesn’t she?
I’ve known her for years, and I am so proud of her. She is growing up to be such a lovely and kind young lady.
She is pure of heart, gentle in spirit, and full of love.
“Babies are bits of stardust, blown from the hand of God.”
-Baretto
I had the pleasure of meeting sweet Baby C, who is the cousin to this little babe.
Baby C had the greatest expressions, and it was such a joy to photograph him.
He holds his mommy’s heart, and there is nothing sweeter than being in the presence of a new mom, and the tangible love she holds for her new baby. I feel so blessed to be a photographer, not only to witness, but to capture moments such as these.
Moments of baby rolls, and baby toes. Of grins and tears. Of stillness and movement. Of joy and of love.
Thank you, M family, for letting me spend time with your new love.

wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.”

I had the honor of meeting the lovely ‘M’ family. Baby L is a few weeks old, and he is a charmer. His mommy and daddy are absolutely in love with him.
And you can see why:
Just look at that darling little face.
Thank you, M family, for giving me a glimpse into your lives and the honor of meeting your new little wonder.
Here are a few more photos of lovely Baby A.
She’s a doll.
Remember this little angel? Here she is at 3 months:
Beautiful? Absolutely.
Loved? More than words could express.
February is an awesome month! Do you know why?
Nope, not Valentine’s Day, or President’s Day.
