It has always been my dream to be considered someone’s “official family photographer”. To be there to document the various stages of life. Recently, I have realized that my dream is coming true! A few years ago, when I was just learning my way around a wedding, I shot Vanessa and Patrick’s wedding. I ADORED their entire family instantly! Since then I shot her sister’s engagement session and wedding and now… I was able to do a newborn session for Vanessa and Patrick’s first son!
Kade was super sleepy and cooperative, thanks to his Grandma who I now refer to as “The Baby Whisperer.”


They had a house full of friends and it is obvious that Kade is already used to the sounds of friends, family and laughter! I have to tell ya, it is a good thing that laughter didn’t bother Kade because when I used my new “sock monkey” outfit for a few shots I got a fit of the giggles! I mean, come on, a teeny tiny sock monkey baby?! The cutest thing ever! Am I right?!

Dad had a few requests…

I am going to keep him waiting to see his Dodger’s shots!![]()
Thank you so much Patrick and Vanessa for inviting me into your lives for all of these moments! Kade is such a lucky boy to be a part of such a fun and loving family! What amazing parents you already are! <3

what a beautiful session… the family will treasure these forever!!
