Welcoming Baby Jackson with The York Family // Chino Hills, California
I actually met Dorothy a while ago. She was my RN supervisor in my previous life as a nurse. Although we didn't work together for very long, again through the beautiful world of social media, we were able to keep in touch.
As most creatives will understand, receiving messages that their work is loved is such an amazing feeling, and when Dorothy said she wanted me to take photos of her newest addition, baby Jackson, I was beyond thrilled.
We began our session at the York family home and then headed to a near by park for a bit more fun. Here are just a few of my favorite moments captured during my time with Dorothy and her beautiful family. Jackson even got to show off his first pair of Jordan's. Jayden is an awesome big sister, always making sure he was ok.
Jason, Dorothy, Jayden and Jackson, thanks so much for a great time together. I look forward to seeing the kids continue to grow into even more amazing kiddos.
10 Days Young Newborn Session with Zoey Nicole // Glendora, California
When I first heard that Irene and Casey were expecting, I was ecstatic beyond belief. I had met Irene over a year ago, only a week or so before her wedding day. Many months had passed since I had last seen Irene but with the wonderful technical world of Facebook we were able to stay in contact as I loved every photo she posted of her enjoying moments of pregnancy. Irene is one of the only people I know that was only months away from giving birth and still hiking up mountains to keep fit.
When I found out that Irene wanted me to photograph her daughter Zoey Nicole, I was thrilled! At 10 days young, Zoey was a perfect angel. Oh and to witness the love that Casey and Irene have for their little bundle of joy was priceless and beyond words.
Here are only a few of our favorite images of Zoey and her beautiful family.
Irene & Casey, I thank you for the opportunity to capture such a beautiful moment in your lives & I look forward to watching Zoey continue to grow into a beautiful little lady.
Just as special as Zoey, Casey's Aunt made her this beautiful hand knitted blanket.
Super Fun Family Session // Old Town Pomona, California
Music is one of the few things that are able to keep a bond between people regardless of beliefs or backgrounds. So when you have a family that is even closer by their love of the same music, that bond is untouchable.
