Baby bump love

In this business I get to meet all sorts of people and families that I would have otherwise not met. I am grateful for that. Each family, each session has a different feel, a different life about it. I especially love seeing the dynamics at work. When you are looking to capture moments, emotions and life itself, you see things that perhaps might not be seen by other people. There have been sessions that have brought tears to my eyes, joy to my heart and made me love my work even more!

I was privileged to be a part of one such session recently. I could see the love in their eyes for each other. I heard the tenderness and warmth when they spoke to each other. I witnessed the devotion they had as they interacted with each other. It was a beautiful, moving experience for me.

Anyone who has children can tell you that the pregnancy itself is a unique experience. Some have beautiful pregnancies with little to no complications. Others, like me, have long, hard pregnancies with many ups and downs. Either way, when it's all done and you have your little one in your arms, the previous 9 months seem to fade into the background and it becomes a cherished memory. No matter the pain, no matter the trials, no matter the sickness - those months you spent waiting and preparing for your little one is a beautiful time in your life.

Having beautiful portraits to remember that special time is priceless. When you look back at those pictures, you won't feel the pain, the sickness or any other negative emotions you felt then, you will have a feeling of love, tenderness, nostalgia and gratitude come over you.

Megan and Tyler will be welcoming their new little buddle of joy very soon! She is a beautiful mother-to-be. He is a compassionate father-to-be. Together they are a stunning couple with a wonderful future ahead of them!



I am grateful to have been included in this precious time of your lives, Tyler and Megan, thank you!

Itty bitty familia....

Not only have I been so privileged to have photographed her sweet pregnancy, I was also allowed to photograph their little sweetheart once she arrived, and now, they have allowed me the privilege of capturing their family once again. I have a heart full of love for this sweet little, itty bitty, family! I have enjoyed watching this beautiful baby girl grow and I look forward to seeing her learn to walk and I can't wait for our next session, when I will most likely be chasing her and running behind her with my camera!

Thank you, Salcido Family,  for all the fun memories and letting me in on your sweet little world!
