Nora’s arrival

Nora took her time coming into the world but man was it worth the wait! Megan labored and was sent home from the hospital even with all the symptoms of birthing a baby. Nora just wouldn’t “drop” and turns out that she was not only a big baby ( 9 lbs 10 oz ) but she had other complications that made a c-section the best and safest option. Going from a natural birth to a c-section was a big switch for Megan and Chris but like everything they took it in stride and with a heavy dose of faith and confidence in their decision. When Nora was born she had issues with her blood sugar levels which meant an extended stay in the NICU hence the IV and monitors in her pictures. None the less I still got to spend some sweet time with her and Chris while Megan rested. These pictures are when she’s only a few hours old.

She is pure butter, absolutely gorgeous, I could hardly handle just taking pictures of her and luckily I got a few cuddles in when I was done .

 

Mr. and Mrs. Witcher

I had the joy to photograph Lindsay and Matthews wedding yesterday. They are such an amazing couple, so in love and committed to a life together! It was great getting to know them over the last year and it felt like I was watching two of my friends tie the knot. I can’t wait to post more photos from their wedding day.

The Rubios

10 years and still so in love you would guess they’re newly weds!! I love everything about these two and I’m so thankful to call them friends.

Since I can’t stand how Facebook butchers images by pressing and shrinking them I’ll post a few here. Lots more of this to come but for now a few of their cute kids!

 

Zane and Caryn | Proposal in Laguna

My little brother is getting married to an amazing girl! I’m so happy for him and Caryn and can’t for their official wedding day. Caryn already feels like part of the family and I could not ask for a better match for my brother. She is smart, funny, kind, generous and continually thoughtful. I feel like they do a great job of balancing each others personalities and passions which is such an amazing “base” for a long lasting love.

When my brother asked me to take pictures of him proposing I was so excited! He had it all planned out and even had his friend Matt come and guide me to the spot plus help set up. I hid in the bushes and got some farther away shots during the actual proposal which luckily worked and Caryn was totally surprised!

Here are some of my favorites from that special day!

The Snells | Getting ready for Cohen

It’s been a long time since I posted on here and I have some catching up to do but for now here are some of my favorites from Julie and Kirks session.

 

The Viney Family

The Viney family was such a pleasure to photograph. They were up for my shenanigans and Isaac was all about finding snails, throwing leaves and playing with his trucks which made for a really fun session. I love getting to know my clients and I felt like I got to do that with Shannon, Sean and Isaac. I’m excited for them to welcome their daughter in just a few short months. Shannon is absolutely glowing!
