Shae & Sam are the sweetest souls. We got to visit them in Albuquerque earlier this year and hang out at my favorite brunch place (maybe ever). They are so quick to offer a smile or support and the belly laughs we all shared made that trip perfect. The contentment they radiate to each other made this session just so perfect. These look how home feels to me.
Sometimes a beautiful session with an interesting model is just good for your work. It's good to play and practice. I love the almost monotone feeling in these photos. Zha Zha is such a lovely model, I love her expressive eyes.
We went to Iceland in October of 2015. Lots of these photos haven't seen the light of day yet. And WOW do they deserve to be seen. Iceland was the most magical place I have ever been and I hope you can feel some of that magic while looking through these!
Nicole (of Shop Bisby) and Mohamed welcomed me so warmly into their home and Nicole said "Hi!" while immediately handing over sweet Malik. I was thinking yes, this is my dream client- someone that trusts me to hold their baby before I photograph them, someone that knows how badly I want to hold cute babies before I get to work. I like to get to know my models. ;)
Their beautiful home was the best backdrop, with their moroccan inspired style and incredible textures. Their love as a little family unit was so breathtaking and just fun to watch. Malik, of course, stole the show. I mean, come on. His hair and big dark eyes, and that gummy smile oh my goodness.
Family story sessions include photos and videos, so I get to capture those sweet giggles real time. Don't miss the Daadaoui's family film below!
This simple, natural home session to celebrate the newness of August is so so cozy. I love the textures and the sweet expressions we captured. This type of session is so easy on baby because we went at his pace, took a snack break in the middle and really kept him comfortable.
I reached out to Bryn & Kolby because I knew from seeing them around town how in love they were. So I knew they would be easy to shoot! And I needed a pretty session to get me through the winter slump. This did the trick for sure. We shot in the Kendall Whittier district and kept it super casual. I love this set because of all of the giggling and their unique personalities!
Natalie has been through so much this year and her sweet strength through it all is awe-inspiring. If you would like to read her story here's a link to her blog.
It was so freezing during this session and she was such a trooper about it, I can't believe she doesn't even look cold in any of these! The goal was natural photos showing off her last trimester with little Holden. I love how important capturing this season is. Soon I will be posting photos of his sweet face and I can't wait.
