Filippo and Stephanie // Proposal

I'm more than excited to share this next post with you. This last weekend we went out for a double date. My husband and I, along with my sister-in-law and her boyfriend. All of us, but one (my sis-in-law, Stephanie), knew what was gonna go down that day. A plan was being put into action, and I was so thrilled to be a part of it. Soon there was going to be a proposal, on the waters of the San Diego Bay. As we drove into San Diego there was fog over the water. Not the best day to go out on a boat, but as we got closer and closer to the bay, the sun decided to come out. And I'm so glad it did. Stephanie and Filippo, it was a joy to be there with you guys. To witness this wonderful and momentous occasion...Filippo, thank you for asking me to bring my camera. I loved being able to document such real and raw emotion. We love you both dearly, and look forward to what God has in store for you on your journey ahead. Congrats!

Kaia Turns One!

My little cousin's baby turned one. Yes, yes, that means I am getting older. I remember as a child when all the family members would say every time they saw me, "Oh my, you are getting so BIG!" Now I am the one saying that about all the babies in our forever growing family. I am so thankful that I have been able to photograph this little one throughout her first year. Love you, Kaia :)

Emma

This little beauty is two weeks old. TWO weeks! I could not believe how alert she was with being so brand new and all. She was such a joy to photograph. I just love newborns, their tiny little fingernails, their brand spanking new peely skin :) They are just so....fresh. Wonderfully and carefully made by an amazing Creator. I LOVE it! So here she is, the beautiful Emma.
