Brenna, came to visit us for a few weeks recently and we had a blast! This year, I became hugely aware of how much she has grown up…just look at her…I did not look like that when I was 13! I seem to forget, as the years march on, that she is going to get older….even though she’s almost 14, forever in my mind she will always be 6 years old…oh, where does the time go!

I simply adore this girl…

and her love of penguins and coloring books….

and that we share an obsession with the color yellow….

and I adore how great she is at throwing up gang signs….cause you know I’m from the streets and I need more thugs in my life hehe Brenna, you are adorable and I LOVE you to the moon and back!! Thank you so much for hanging out with me and my crazy bunch, but please, stop getting taller and so flippin’ beautiful…you are making your aunt feel very old and very short…and we certainly can’t have that xoxo

and here a few of my favorite images from my last session of the night…. Jen is such a knock out!

Sadly its even more true for us photographers & entrepeneurs….seriously who wants to struggle with our self timers or rely on our iPhone pics to do the job after a long day’s work….its just not pretty

I can’t wait to meet ya!!!

The kind of people that make me strive every day to be a better version of myself

to LOVE more, to GIVE more, to BE more thankful

I can’t say enough about how amazing it is to have true friendships that inspire you….

It makes my soul sing (:

So in honor of all the LOVE I have been so fortunate to receive, I am so excited to start doing something that has been laid on my heart for quite a while…..

I will be donating 5% of my gross profits from each shoot/wedding to one of my favorite local charities

So from now on, all of my clients not only get to invest in some fabulous images, but they will also be able to be part of something even more beautiful….I can’t wait to spread the LOVE with all of you!
