sometimes it feels like i blink and "my" babies turn one. little alexander was such a perfect little guy for his newborn session, and one year later he was still super happy and even cuter (if that is possible!) i just love getting to watch these sweet babies grow.

this little beauty was perfection at her newborn session, and kept the streak going for her one year! sweet katia was full of silly faces and personality, and fell in love with my little brown stool.... once she had discovered it, she wouldn't do anything else but hold it/carry it/sit on it. she had us all cracking up! her mama brought a cake so we could finish out with a little cake smash, and she

sweet little charlie stole my heart at his newborn session seven months ago.... i didn't think it was possible for him to get any cuter. but here he is.... gorgeous blue eyes and the best baby rolls ever- the definition of adorable.

this sweet baby boy is extra special to me.... he is my nephew, the new son of my younger brother and sister-in-law. but i can say without any bias at all- he's pretty perfect. jacob and stephanie and their kids live in fresno. since i didn't have my normal studio set-up, we headed outdoors to capture a few

i met this adorable, fun couple on a sun-filled evening- it was so sweet to capture their excitement and anticipation for their baby that will arrive oh-so soon. this little one is a surprise baby…i can't wait to hear if it's a boy or a girl!

i just love the difference a year makes in the life of a baby. i'm so lucky to get to capture precious newborns, and then watch them grow. sweet jaxson was not very happy about having his pictures taken, but after a lot of puffs and quite a bit of silliness, that sweet smile came out. i kinda love him.
