I just love watching families grow. And I got to see Sarah and Matt go from a family of two, to becoming parents! It really looks really great on them, I must say. And Mr. James is the sweetest! I hardly saw his eyes the whole time we hung out. 
So without further ado, I introduce to you, James Scot:
Dreamy macro shots of perfectly tiny details that have probably already changed since I took these.
Such a beautiful family. Congratulations Sarah and Matt!
This beautiful little guy is the youngest of FIVE children. I was so impressed by so many things about this family. Everyone was so sweet and organized, it was like heaven to shoot! Plus, Jaxon was such a happy birthday boy! It was such a pleasure having them and I hope I get to watch this family grow throughout the years!

Such a sweet face! Happy Birthday Jaxon!
Most of my sessions lately have been in my comfortable in-home studio (since it’s been winter and cold and soggy outside). But since spring has (FINALLY) sprung, I am scheduling more and more outdoor sessions! I got to go on a little adventure into our fair country’s beautiful capital for this amazing maternity session. What a better place to capture these special memories for a couple of Coast Guards expecting their first beautiful bundle! It was a little windy and Sarah has gorgeous short hair, so we had to collaborate with Mother Nature and be a little creative. The lighting, the scenery, the couple, everything was so beautiful, it was such a dream to shoot! Enjoy!
I can’t wait to meet your little one in a few weeks!
So you all remember this rainbow cake smasher who came in on Valentines day to celebrate her first birthday:
Well she came back for another fun day in the studio now that she’s the big T-W-O! And we had such a blast. This little lady had me laughing from all of her sassy independence! She’s gonna be a CEO of a huge company one day, I just know it. She sure has the cutest little giggle in town, and I’m so glad we could just play around and get a lot of real deal smiles in this gallery.
Don’t grow too much before coming back, Mia!! <3
There is really something to be said about going outside your comfort zone for an artistic leap of faith. I almost didn’t do this session because it’s not what I normally do, but something told me to go for it. And guys, thank goodness I did, because It was a blast. We had music playing, coffee brewing, mimosas with fruit and doughnuts to much on, oh yeah, we had a little party during our session! It also reminded me of being backstage during a performance because it was a whirlwind of costume changes, laughter, bravery, curling irons and lipstick. Let me tell you, Celina and her friends Chrissy and Melissa totally worked it. And they are not professional models, although they totally could be if they wanted. I think everyone should have a session embracing their sassy sides.
Bring your friends over, split up a fun session and a bottle of champagne. We will have a blast.
