Family

The light in this little California bungalow was just too much for my heart to handle. And this sweet family?! They were ADORABLE! They had welcomed their son 8 weeks earlier and he was just a dream to photograph! He was wide-eyed for a while, giving us lots of fun expressions and then he fell right to sleep so that we could catch some sleepy shots as well.

Dupuy family- thanks for letting me step into your space to document these early days at home with your son. It was lovely meeting you and I’m wishing you all the best as you adjust to life as a family of 3!

This adorable family welcomed their second son just 2 weeks before I captured these photos and man- they just seemed so relaxed and at ease the entire time I was there. They seriously made adjusting to a family of four look like a piece of cake! Both of their sons were ADORABLE and the sunlight flowing through their windows was gorgeous! It made for a fantastic morning!

Murphy family- thank you for letting me step into your world for a bit! It was a pleasure meeting you all and I loved getting to document this sweet time for your family!

There’s just something so special about capturing newborn sessions in the comfort of my clients’ own homes. There are natural moments throughout these sessions, that exude the sweetness of that new season and really display the family’s current reality. After all, those everyday things…the footy pj’s, the tiny arms escaping the swaddle, the head of hair, tiny hands, smiles, and tears…are the things we want to remember.

This precious family decided to keep things simple and real during their session. I absolutely LOVED their decision! 🙂

I got to meet this precious family a few weeks ago and after chatting with them for a bit, I was reminded of just how small the world actually is.

I knew that April had grown up in Oklahoma from an email she had sent me when we were scheduling their session, but I had no idea how many mutual friends and acquaintances we would have. She and her husband were actually married in the church that we worked for in Tulsa before moving to California! I mean…WHAT IN THE WORLD?! So crazy that our paths crossed in the Bay Area during a newborn session!

Anyway, this sweet mom and dad have two adorable kiddos and I loved getting to spend the morning documenting their growing family. There really is something so special about capturing those early days at home with a new baby. Thanks for letting me step into your world for a bit, Stubbs Family! You guys are awesome!

You guys….it feels SO good to be back behind the camera after taking a few months off for maternity leave! I’ve been pretty busy, as our family has grown from 3 to 4, and my husband and I are trying to figure out this whole “parenting two kids” thing! 😉 I’m telling you…it’s the best and hardest thing we’ve ever done! We welcomed our son in November and I started back with the photography gig in February. If I’m honest, I’m still figuring out how to work from home with a toddler and a baby, but it’s been an awesome month so far and I’m grateful to get my business rolling again.

I’m also SUPER excited to share my first newborn session back with you! Meet the Barshow family. They were fantastic to work with and their son was absolutely precious! This sweet mom and dad were so cool and calm the entire time and their home felt so peaceful and warm. I loved getting to walk into their world for a bit and document a season that is filled with so much joy, uncertainty, exhaustion, and life!

Thanks Barshows for allowing me to capture this new season for your family! Praying for both wisdom and grace as you walk through the days ahead with that sweet boy of yours!
