When my husband’s brother and his wife announced that they were expecting a little girl, I couldn’t have been more thrilled! I’ve shared before that I often dreamed a little girl and all the frilly and pink things associated with that…. I knew almost immediately that I’d hop on a plane the minute she was born so that I could take some photos for them. And take photos I did! I landed in LA and I don’t think I put my camera down for a minute.

Isn’t she a doll?

It melts my heart to be able to take photos for family. There is no pressure to be perfect. There is no weirdness if I ask you to hold your baby, naked, in the middle of a Christmas Tree Farm. There is no make-up, no wardrobe, and no expectations. It reminded me that I need to shot for myself more often. The raw love in these photos blows me away.

Thank you Patrick and Sarah for letting me come down and hold your little angel. She’s beautiful.

I’m so excited to include Carey in my week of favorites this year. Her wedding to Eric was an absolute joy to be a part of.  I’ve known Carey since right after college, when we were living in tiny city apartments, navigating our first real jobs and just trying to figure out life.  Since then, she’s only become a better person.  These images are extra wonderful to me because they showcase her style.  I love the veil.  I adore the lace dress.  And that expression?  That’s a Carey staple.

You are gorgeous, Carey.

This session, hands down, is a favorite. Maddy was a blast to shoot, a natural in front of the camera and an all around great girl. Plus, she’s gorgeous!

To me, this picture is perfection. Between the creamy skin, the amazing hair, the perfect angle and the “almost” expression, it just takes my breath away.

Lauren and Dmitriy are a part of this list for a variety of reasons. First, this photo just makes me smile every time I see it. I love the strands of lights in the background.  I love the curve of Lauren’s neck.  And I love that it was a spontaneous moment. Second, they are two of the most wonderful, kind people I’ve ever met. And their marriage just seems like plain fun.

It was a toss up for me on these two as well. I love seeing such genuine joy on my clients faces.  And Lauren was probably the most joyful bride I had this year.  Plus, isn’t she gorgeous?

I seem to really be having problems narrowing down my photos. I just can’t pick one. This session is an all time favorite of mine. These two are truly wonderful people, and anyone who has as many dogs, goats and chickens as they do, just deserve some recognition! The cars, the animals and their wonderful personalities just won me over.
