I flew back to California this past December to photograph these tiny toes. I couldn't have been happier to help welcome this little one to the world... I had just moved away from Los Angeles 2 months prior and, with a broken heart, I thought for sure I wouldn't meet this little guy for several more months. However, a series of fortunate events allowed us to plan this session at the perfect newborn stage - just 2 weeks old.

I absolutely adore this family and hardly have words for how grateful I am that photography has brought us together. Not only do these lucky kids have the sweetest parents, but their mom shares my love of fine stationery and the hand-written note. Her notes are some of the best I have ever received and I can't imagine how many lives she has touched!

She also has an impeccable eye for design. I just love how she framed and arranged two wall prints from our first session when her adorable blue-eyed little girl was just 8 months. The gorgeous Keepsake Box on her mantle was an addition from our session this past summer. And she now has a matching Keepsake Box for her baby boy's newborn photographs - such a lovely way to hold your treasured prints!
