i love this family, so it is pretty awesome that they keep asking me to capture their growing family. it feels like we were just capturing brittany's belly when she was pregnant with henry... (and then meeting him in the hospital and capturing him at home just a week later). now he's turning one and she has another precious boy on the way! any time i get the privilege of hanging out with the futrells,

i spent a sunny sunday afternoon in san juan capistrano with this sweet little family. matthew is turning two in just a few days and loves anything with wheels. it was so cute listening to him get excited at all the bikes, planes, and trucks he saw while we were together. the luistro family is expecting a little girl in several months. i think she's pretty lucky already.

last year i had the privilege of assisting my friend kurt when he photographed kimberly + barnabas' wedding- i was thrilled when she contacted me to capture her pregnancy and sweet new baby! there is so much love between these two… what a lucky little baby he is to be making this a family of three.
