I am so lucky to get to watch my newborns grow and celebrate these milestones with them! I had so much fun photographing D on his first birthday at the beach! What a special way his mom and dad chose to celebrate his big day. He is so precious and was such a happy birthday boy for us. Thanks so much Alex and Dan for trusting me to capture your beautiful family! You all look amazing! Hope you enjoy the peek! 🙂

There is nothing more beautiful than capturing a mother’s love for her child. That love is so evident in these photos! Sarah, thank you so much for trusting me to capture you and Isabella. She is gorgeous and her playful personality really shines through in the images. I had the best time with you ladies! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! 🙂

I photographed these twins when they were newborns and I am so honored to have been asked to capture their first birthday portraits too! Thank you so much Melissa and Alex for trusting me to document this special time for your family. I know the wind and the craziness of the beach with twin babies was exhausting, but you can look at those precious smiles we captured for a lifetime and know that it was worth it! 😉 Hope you enjoy the peek!
