Due to reasons beyond our control, this family session took place at an unlikely place - the Rossmoor Retirement Community. Scheduling the session was a fight against time as Evelyn's mother is battling the last stage of cancer. All that Evelyn asked for are some photos to document her family, most importantly, something for her daughter to remember her Mother by. I have never been more nervous about a session as I was this day. A bit of nervous energy has always made me work better but I really did not want to disappoint this family.

We met again last year for Sage's first birthday party. This year is an exciting one - ready or not, Sage, you're getting a sibling! I feel so privilege for the honor of documenting such happy moments in their lives. I cannot wait to meet their new addition!

Read MoreWelcome to the first year of your life! I met Naomi, Matt, and Sage (and her four legged brother, Dodgy) last December for their holiday photos. I was charmed by their sweetness and taken by their style. So it was my pleasure to return this summer to photograph Sage's 1st birthday party.
Read MoreI still get butterflies before a photo session, especially when it's for a friend. In this case, not only have I known Tina since our undergrad days, but this session was their first family photo session since becoming a family of four. No pressure, right?! Fortunately, they are such a beautiful family, inside and out.
