Taryn and Brandon are so much fun! They brought cool props. They’re naming their baby girl Sawyer, which I love!

Happy soon to be Mother’s Day Taryn! And Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms!

What does a pug, a family, cloudy weather, burned trees and pretty flowers all have in common? There were all a part of this shoot! It was so much fun to shoot this wonderful family on my favorite kind of day and in my favorite kind of place. What more could I want?! They are all the sweetest people ever and it was such a joy.

We did their shoot on April 14. Saharai had Gabriel April 16! Congratulations Alvarez Family!

This is what my favorite kind of day looks like:

Meet Lucas.

Meet me boring Lucas!

Zoe is a student from El Dorado High. She chose us to job-shadow for a project. She got some good shots!

I just fell in love with this couple!

I also fell in love with this dog!

Saharai is amazingly gorgeous and photogenic.

Having a baby reminds me of the Lensbaby, so I tend to use it more on Maternity shoots! Ha!

Gabriel’s first toy car, from where they grew up, Venezuela.

She had such cute outfits!

Hat; stolen!

I’ll leave you with this picture Zoe shot!

Jon + Becky’s wedding was actually one of the very first that I ever shot (in all film!) and I think their maternity was the very first. I even took pictures of them when I was in my high school photography class, nine years ago. Yowza!

Daphne.

These pictures reminded me of my Holga pictures.

And this one looked like film too.

Tabitha.

Daphne and Daddy!

Daphne and Mommy.

I LOVE these two shots:

Daphne loves to play with rocks!

She has fun in Daddy’s guitar case.

She loves to sing worship songs.

But she does NOT like when her rocks are taken away!

Thank you Cook family! Love you!

One of my favorite little fams is adding a new member, little Jack Bos!

The Bos Kids:

My fave from me. My take on Identical Twins photograph by Diane Arbus.

Bryon’s face cracks me up! “Come on Ba-abe”. Wish it came with sound effects!

Thank you Bos family! We can’t wait to meet Jack!
