Stephanie Jerez

I am behind on my blogging due to being uber busy packing and enjoying quality time with friends and family before we move to Costa Rica and Chile. So today I have a special treat, but it's kinda late for graduations. Stephanie Jerez is an education major and has graduated from University of Houston! She is a one of a kind woman and I am sure she will make a great impact in the next generation!

 

Yusuf

 

Yet another indoor session on the blog! 

I love having friends from all cultures. I met Ilknur at a friends baby shower one day and completely fell in love with her kindness and personality. I hadn't seen her throughout her whole pregnancy and this week I went to say goodbye before I depart to Chile. Her son, Yusuf is already 3 months old! I hate to miss so many memories of people I wish I was closer to, but in the end I know I am privileged to live the life I do. Ilknur and her husband are from Turkey, she has a bachelor’s in early developmental education and is currently pursuing her master’s degree! She is a kind and gentle soul. She says that Yusuf makes her smile every day. She loves motherhood. We had a sweet time together in  which Ilknur and I just chatted, took some candid pictures and talked about our lives and family. It is incredible how similar we really are no matter where we come from. Enjoy this indoor session :)

Kinser- Indoor session

Indoor sessions have become a favorite of mine and I was very excited when Jennifer reached out to me wanting to do an indoor session with both of her kids. Blake and Olivia are years apart, but make the sweetest siblings. Together they had loads of fun. They ate donuts, played inside Blake’s teepee, and hung out with mom. Is there anything better? I want to mention that I had the privilege to document this session with my sister Ericka during the thanksgiving break. She made an awesome assistant and wanted to give her the appropriate credit! Who knows, maybe she can join the team in the future eh? :) For now enjoy these two siblings who had a blast hanging out at the comfort of their home.
