landis family | maternity session | santa clarita valley photographer

The anticipation of a new life is such a precious time!  There is something so sweet about being able to capture those moments of anticipation!  I loved spending the evening with the beautiful Landis family!  They are eagerly awaiting the birth of their second little one and I LOVE that they don’t know if they will be bringing a boy or girl home with them!!! I’m a total traditionalist and I LOVE that sweet moment when you meet your baby AND find out if you have a son or daughter all at the same time!!!  I can’t wait to meet their little one in a few short weeks!!! Enjoy the sweet preview!

ryan + loren | santa barbara yacht club

Who knew a chance meeting at Magic Mountain’s Fright Fest while in high school would end up HERE!  How many times has a random encounter turned into a lasting relationship?  Not always, but when it does it is sure special!  Ryan and Loren’s story has taken them from high school through college to a big move to Las Vegas for his job and last year they welcomed their precious little girl, Julianna . . . next up, marriage and Loren’s new job as a kindergarten teacher . . . to say it’s been a busy year would be an understatement!  I wish you both the best of everything!  I loved capturing your beautiful day!

maximus jagger | newborn | los angeles photographer

I love when I get to start my day off with a precious newborn!  It makes me yearn for the days when my sweet girls were little! 

Today I met Maximus Jagger and what a cutie he is!!! He was probably one of the easiest babies . . . he loved being swaddled, was happy, and seemed to enjoy the sound of my camera clicking away! Seriously, he was calmed by it! That’s my kind of baby!!!  I met Mia, Max’s mama, about three years ago and have had the privilege of photographing his brother and sister every Christmas since then! They are a fun family and completely smitten with this little guy!!!  Here’s a quick preview.  Many more to come!

a beautiful story of prayer, love, and adoption | los angeles photographer

I met Cheryl, and although she was COMPLETELY decked out in Oregon Ducks paraphernalia, I knew I liked her!  Then I heard a SMALL part of her story and how she and her husband had prayed and prayed for twins . . . and the Lord provided these precious girls!!!  God is so good and exceedingly, abundantly supplies our needs AND wants!!!  She and David received these precious girls when they were 7-months old . . . they are now two and a half and their adoption was made official not too long ago!!!  They are a sweet family and it was a complete joy to photograph them!! It was a rare session because I had my own three girls with me (it’s just plain hard to work AND be mom), but my girls were ready to bring these two home!!!  They all had so much fun!!   This is just your sneak peek . . . more to come!!!

nicole & aaron | 25 days until “I do!” | los angeles photographer

I met Nicole three years ago when we found out that she would be our daughter Lily’s kindergarten teacher.  When I saw her for the first time I was so excited . . . she just seemed like the PERFECT kindergarten teacher . . . beautiful, fun, playful, loving, and nurturing . . . I knew Lily would be THRILLED!  I was right!  Lily had an amazing year and I made a wonderful friend! I have a habit of becoming close with my kids’ teachers! I’m so thrilled that I get to capture Aaron and Nicole’s wedding next month!!!  I love watching these two . . . it is so obvious that they are in love!  Aaron would give her the world if she just asked!!!
