The Sorianos

I once met a girl after my own heart. Her name is Cindy. She was AND is a true friend. It has been a privilege to document my friend throughout the years we’ve known each other. We were both single when we met and we both have grown into the role we currently find ourselves in: motherhood. Our babes are only six months apart and what a blessing it has been to share life with her.

During our time in Chile, my friend went to go visit me. I truly treasured this because it was a hard time being away from family and her presence was a comfort to me. I am grateful for her and Levi, and their precious bundle of joy, Amy. Enjoy this beautiful session! The Soriano family on the blog:

LeeAnn + SidaLee

The following pictures tell a story. The story of a love so deep that rocks every woman. It is the deepest of human loves. I am speaking of the love of a mother and her child.

I’ve had the privilege to know this woman throughout most of my young adult life. I watched her grow into a beautiful woman. I watched her as she became a momma. I watched her as pain and hurt came into her life unexpectedly. I watched as she felt the loss of so many things around her. I watched her as she faced so many questions. In the midst of it all, she chose mercy and grace. She chose wisdom and truth. She is one of the bravest souls I know.

I hope these pictures give a small glimpse to the wonderful woman and momma she is. She is raising a young giant with a faith that can move mountains. I am so proud to call her a friend. SidaLee has the best momma!

Tobar Family

It's been a while my friends...with a move overseas, being new parents, and handling working full time plus a business...let's just say it's not for the faint of heart. This season has set its challenges. Everything is in motion, yet everything is still. Just a few weeks ago, for mother's day,  an old college friend reached out asking for family photos. There is a long story behind this request, but let's just say that the Tobar family were long due for some pictures! 

Linda and Michael and Vinny had a beautiful intimate family session. Though shy at first, little Vinny eventually gave us a smile and had a blast with mom and dad. I am grateful to capture these moments!
