As I am wrapping up my sessions from 2013 I am so thankful for all the beautiful opportunities I had with my clients families. Choosing my 10 favorite images from the year wasn't easy. I chose these images for the emotions I feel when I look at them. I feel so blessed that these families chose me to share part of their life with them. Some for only and hour or two with their future baby, their newborn or their toddler. Others I spent days with patiently waiting to photograph their baby coming Eartside. Each time I felt like family as your welcomed me into your homes, let me swaddle up your newborn and trusted me enough to be at your birth. Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart. These images are in no order as I can not pick a favorite. Also there are many many more I would have added but a "top 100" seemed a bit excessive!

Meet Ari!
Ari's parent have been friends with my husband since highschool. Her daddy was a groomsman in my wedding. On a trip up North in the fall I finally got to meet this sweet girl.
We headed over to a beautiful vineyard in Green Valley, CA early in the morning for their family session. It is so fun to watch our friends start families and watch, and photograph, their babies as they grow up!
