welcome to the blog

My sweet niece Elena turned seven this year, and she’s looking more and more grown up! She’s feisty and inquisitive, thoughtful and silly, and she’s got the most beautiful crystal blue…….

Back in August, my cousin Ryan and his beautiful wife Laurie had a baby girl, and as expected, they wanted to document the occasion with a newborn portrait. Incidentally, their session ended up being more of a full on family portrait, but we got the job done, and that’s what matters, right? Their sweet little daughter…

This baby portrait is pretty special because….well, I’m related to this little sweetie! Iris is the adorable baby of my beautiful cousin Tess, and she is almost the newest member of our big ol’ family…..

I have known the Estey family for quite some time now — our daughters started elementary school together (and they are teenagers now!). The girls also played club volleyball together……

The Narcessian family had a pre-celebration photo session in honor of the birthday of the patriarch of their crew, and I was able to capture some important group photos for them to commemorate this occasion! Complete with some fun pool party pics! Hope the festivities were a blast!
