"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on camera is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. "

“When you’re a Mom, you get a front row seat to the best show in town: Watching your kids grow up.” - Rebecca Pearson (This Is Us)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ok, sooo I finally took the plunge and started binge watching “This Is Us”. Omgoodness, why did I wait so long? It is such a great show! Who else watches “This Is Us?” 🙋🏽‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday, I took a couple hours off to be present with my kids. While my daughter placed stickers all over my face and played dress up and my son taught me how to fight bad guys on his Nintendo DS and sang Backstreet Boys songs (he’s been really into them lately), I couldn’t help but take it all in and thank God for these precious moments I get to cuddle and watch them grow. ❤️

Happy ⓖⓐⓛⓔⓝⓣⓘⓝⓔⓢ Day! ❤️👯‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Made popular by the sitcom Parks and Recs, this genius made up holiday caught on and has become a thing ever since. Basically, it's like Valentine's Day, only instead of celebrating the love you have for your significant other, you spend it with your best girlfriends, who are, after all, your soul mates, and therefore deserve a holiday all to themselves, too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
|| Question || How are you spending your Galentine’s Day? 🤔 Tag your best gal pals below and show them some love 💖

“Expecting a baby is just the beginning of expecting life’s most precious moments.” 👣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s been almost 20 years since I last saw my friend Allison in high school. So when she reached out and asked me to photograph this wonderful blessing in her and her Husband’s life, I was beyond honored. She looked gorgeous and had the most beautiful Mommy-to-be glow. ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In just a few short weeks, Mommy + Daddy will be holding their precious gift from God in their arms and I couldn’t be happier for them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Congratulations, Ally + Lou! I can’t wait to meet baby Leo soon! 💙

|| Did you know? || that our wedding collections include a complimentary engagement session? This is a great way for us to get to know each other better, get rid of those “first date jitters” and gives you a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day. ❤️

Who else is excited to stay in and enjoy this Southern California rain? 🙋🏽‍♀️🌧 You can find me bundled up in my Snuggie (who else has one?) in front of the fireplace finishing up editing some galleries.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re not staying in, what are your weekend plans?
On a different note, this has got to be one of my favorite locations... Can someone please have another engagement session here? 🤗💍
