living with grace, patience, and hope..

Since it is the day after Memorial Day, it only seems fitting to post about this amazing couple. Alexis is currently serving the US Air Force on assignment in Las Vegas, away from her husband, Justin, who is a teacher in Los Angeles. I can’t even begin to express my admiration for the ease in which they have handled this time of their lives.. living apart with a new baby. I know they are counting down the days until Alexis begins her next assignment this summer and will move back to her home in Los Angeles. I have an incredible amount of respect for the challenges that military families endure and the strength it requires to carry on with such grace, patience, and hope.

It also amazes me that Alexis prioritized this newborn photography session amidst traveling between Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Michigan, and Alabama with her 6 week old in tow. Like so many events in life, it may seem that there might always be a better time, but this new Mom is beyond inspirational! It is all about declaring value and deciding what is important, holding back from excuses and making time for the little things..

this tiny, beautiful, wide eyed little girl made my last photo session of 2009 a very special one. here are a couple of my favorite photographs at first glance. i just had to share before the holiday break, since her parents will be waiting so patiently for their proofs until after the new year!

special people..

this family is wonderful.. just simply sweet, special people. i mentioned before in their maternity photography post that they first contacted me in the fall of 2007 and it wasn’t until this summer that we finally met. i am so glad we did. their newborn baby boy was born on June 29th and i showed up at their redondo beach home 10 days later to document this time. my heart goes out to them, as just a few days after our session, this proud dad was deployed across country.

i also have to share this message i received from this newborn’s mom – these notes make my day. Thank you!
HOLY COW, Teri! Once again your talent amazes me! How you got these shots with a non-sleepy newborn with a horrible rash and a 3 ½ year old with a 104 degree fever I will never know!

just 2 weeks..

i anxiously awaited the birth of this beautiful baby. i couldn’t wait to photograph him, especially after meeting his lovely parents at their maternity photography session. i think we happened to shoot on the most overcast day in los angeles history, but we still managed to make plenty of gorgeous, peaceful photographs of this sleepy little guy. thanks again for inviting me in to share this special time with your growing family!
