These photos made my heart skip a beat. 🥺 I’v These photos made my heart skip a beat. 🥺 I’ve been trying to figure out… what is it about them that made me feel that way? Maybe it’s her smile - playful, genuine, and inquisitive. Or maybe it’s the shape of that dress, slightly too big on her petite 22 lb frame. 

Or maybe that’s just what happens when you adore a tiny human. 🤷🏻‍♀️ My baby is now 2.5 years old! I love her more each day. 💕

I took these at a recent photographer meet up hosted by @photographerssocial ☺️ The organizers created the group to connect local photographers who might not otherwise get a chance to meet. Everyone brought their cameras and had fun networking/taking photos of each other; I spent most of the time chasing after this cheeky little one. 😅 We were lucky enough to be photographed by a few of the attendees and I’m excited to share the results in the near future! #photographerssocial
I blinked and the month of May flew by. Was it a I blinked and the month of May flew by. 

Was it as emotional and heavy for you as it was for me? I still can’t stop thinking about Uvalde. I was down the street from the Laguna Woods shooting - 0.6 miles away, to be exact. My daughter was napping in the car when the sirens started wailing. And they wouldn’t stop. Everyone in Starbucks turned their heads to see what the commotion was. At the time all I could think about was whether or not the sound would wake my daughter up. Now I think about how close we were to life-threatening danger - and how unfathomable it would be to have been in that church. Or that school. Or that grocery store. 

I just want to keep my daughter safe. 

Armed shooters aside, how do we protect her from Covid? The pandemic continues to affect our every day decisions. We test the waters and observe everyone else swimming. What is our risk tolerance today? 

Anyway, I’m still here. Still taking photos. I’m grateful that although social media does make a huge impact on my business, it’s also feasible for me to step away from it for weeks at a time. I saw a few small business owners share about how it feels to create content when they are surrounded by heaviness, and that resonated strongly with me. I appreciated their openness. It helps to know I’m not alone. 🤍

Have you ever seen a toddler run straight towards Have you ever seen a toddler run straight towards the ocean? 🤣 Most infants/toddlers I photograph don’t like the waves, don’t like the sand, or dislike both! Not this one. We watched our godson run full speed towards the water on this beach day. Thankfully his parents were fast enough to catch him before he jumped in. 😅 #fearless 

These photos are almost 4 years old now 🥲 But too good not to share… as with so many other shoots that haven’t been posted here. I’m excited to see these friends sooooon! 😘
These mommy & me images melt my heart 🥺 Especia These mommy & me images melt my heart 🥺 Especially with their beautiful matching dresses by @elestory (which has a sale happening right now! Hurry and order for Mother’s Day! 👯‍♀️). I love matching my own mini and should do it more often - she’s now at the age where she wants to match with mommy ☺️
