Angela (and Grace)
Sometimes people need lots of coaching when getting their photo taken, and that’s ok. Not everyone is a model. But sometimes…….. you get somebody that’s just a natural and needs none of my help at alllllllll.
Legacy
Lived 60 years on this earth, had three kids, led through the development of dozens of churches all over Latin America, served the poor, the sick, and the forgotten, grandfathered a buncha babies, and shared it all as a loving husband.
I’d say that’s worth a photo or two.

Three Little Girls
Most of the time, family photos with small children is literally about getting ONE good shot. No one wants to sit still, no one wants to smile when it’s time to smile, and attention spans are extremely limited. I’m not gonna say there was no Photoshop involved, because that would be a lie. I love a good challenge ;-)

The Morells
Pro tip: There’s one product that works awesome on grass stains… Better than Tide or OxyClean.
It’s called Photoshop.
Adalynn is Coming!
In just a few weeks, we'll be expecting baby Adalynn to the world... Jessica & Jamal were so much fun to shoot. Jamal's dry sense of humor is a sign of readiness for dadhood. Jessica's tolerance is on mom-level-9000.

Princess Jeyda
I've shot Darwin "An7orcha" Gonzalez before, but today was about his daughter Jeyda. This whole family is basically a collection of rockstars. Total pleasure photographing them.

Blaise & Co.
This little bundle of pure joy was so easy to shoot because making her smile makes anyone feel like the ultimate comedian/clown. Her Resting Baby Face (RBF) is basically smiling!

Cherry Blossoms
The calendar availability, the weather, the cherry blossoms, it was like the stars were aligning.
The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short.

Beyra: All Smiles
This little chunk is the kind of baby that is obviously living a happy life; smiling and laughing with every given opportunity. She seemed skeptical of eating cupcakes though. That worried me.

The Very Hungry Kiddypiller
This kid's mom puts together the most creative and inventive parties for her kids that I have ever seen. You know that beautiful/impossible stuff you see all the time on Pinterest? Yeah. That's her.
