I have been receiving many requests to upload the 2015 Latch and Link Long Beach images to the order gallery again for mamas who were unable to order back in September. 

I have uploaded all the images again for a limited time.

If you are 1 of the over 100 nursing mamas I photographed that day… THANK YOU!

In early March, I traveled to Chicago, Illinois. My sweet friend Melissa, and her family welcomed me into their home and showed me around the city. Melissa and I have been internet friends since we were pregnant with our oldest daughters. Despite our 8 years of ‘friendship,’ this was our first time meeting and from the moment I arrived, I was treated like family. I was treated to deep dish pizza and craft beer, amazing homemade vegetarian meals, hot coffee on snowy mornings and brisk afternoon snowy walks, Chicago style hot dogs and smooshy baby cuddles! Obviously, I needed to return their over the top hospitality with pictures of their sweet family!

Thank you, Melissa and Tony for the home away from home!

Foot tall snowman I made so I could send pics of it home to my kids!

I need to up my mom game. Melissa wins all the mothering awards. Seriously amazed at how awesome she is!

Meet Arthur.

4 days old.

I met this sweet guy on a recent trip to Chicago.

He was such a love, all 10 lb. 2 oz. of him! I could have just cuddled him up all day!

Every year we spend Christmas in Sacramento with my inlaws. This last year was extra special. We gifted Grandma and Auntie tickets to The SF Ballet Nutcracker!

The day after Christmas all the girls headed to San Francisco. We went to the pier, had dinner at Scoma’s before heading to the ballet.

I was so excited to take Kara to her first real ballet and the SF Nutcracker did not disappoint!

Snowfall, tutus, nutcrackers, Christmas trees…  just magical!

Hoping these girls days out in the city become a yearly Christmas tradition.

Meet Jakob.

You may remember him from his Malibu maternity session a few weeks ago. :::wink:::

After having so much for with his parents at the beach I could not wait to meet him.

He did not disappoint! He was so precious and content. Very alert and interested in what I was up to with my camera.

His mama, who is a fellow photographer, is going to have so much fun photographing him as he grows up. He is already clearly a great little model!

When we first moved to Los Angeles, we spent Sunday mornings at The Original Farmers Market. Specifically Bob’s Donuts. Our family would walk over, eat donuts, grab some berries from the fruit stand, and stroll through The Grove, making wishes at the koi fountain before heading back home. The kids LOVED this. I loved that the kids could run around freely before the large crowds would take over. Over the last few years, this little tradition slowed and walks to the Farmers Market have become rare. We go when friends from out of town visit, birthdays and December nights for hot cocoa’s and snowfall at The Grove. This past Sunday we gathered up our little crew and headed out for donuts, camera in tow. I think this little Sunday tradition needs to become a more regular thing for our family again.

Does your family have a weekend morning tradition like this? I would love to hear about it in the comments!

I love photographing new parents. Those first few days quickly become a blur and little details are forgotten. At my sessions, I like to catch those little parenting moments and the connection between parents and their new baby. Little Theodore was so content in his parents arms and his parents were clearly over the moon with him!

When my dear friend Bronwen asked me to photograph her daughters wedding, and sent me photos of the location, there was no way I was passing it up!

I flew from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. Then took a bus from Salt lake to Logan to photograph the sweetest little wedding ever.. in the rain!
