A few weeks ago, I had a little play date with a little friend and her new baby brother. Aubrey hadn’t seen me since I took her photos when she was just a few months old, so while she took a little time to check me out, I grabbed a few shots of her adorable […]

From the archives… Genuine. Caring. A true friend. This is my unofficial definition of Elena (though I may submit it to Webster to see if we can make it official). We met at work, became friends over many, many burrito bowls (thanks, Chipotle), and have “grown up” together photographically. Now, I am proud to say […]

Sometimes all we need is a subtle reminder of the beautiful, little things… Live in Love, Keda

Love sometimes has a mind of its own. It does not care about preference or convenience. It gives no attention to minute details, when the grande scheme is considered. Once it grabs hold, distance does not matter. Kim & Will’s relationship has blossomed with hundreds of miles separating them. Their patience and endurance will soon […]

I had the privilege of hanging out with my little friend, Karter a bit ago. We had an intense conversation about tutus, sparkly shoes, how learning to walk is going, and her plans for her birthday party. I even got to witness some of her dance moves. It was a great time. 🙂 The beauty […]

The older they become, the more quickly […]

There are only two people in this world who star in the majority of my fondest childhood memories. So when one of those lovely people informed me that she was getting married, there was no way in the world that I would have missed it. My cousin Kay and I were inseparable whenever we got […]

I heard about Velva a long time before I actually met her. She has been a wonderful friend to my sister, so when I heard that she was getting married, I jumped at the chance to finally meet her and witness such a special day in her life. During Velva’s Bliss~by Papillon Consultation I couldn’t […]
