Hello & Happy Fall! It just snowed & it is early November! The snow has got me a little excited about the upcoming, festive season!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! It’s about giving thanks for all that you have & let’s be real…about some tasty food! Growing up in an Italian family, we go all out. Ravioli to start , turkey and stuffing in between, desserts  … you get the idea. 

Speaking of thankfulness, I can imagine how grateful Andrea was this entire year watching her beautiful baby girl grow before her eyes. All mothers can speak of how fast their babies become toddlers and so on. You look back at old pictures and some of those infant stages are a complete blur. Always reminded how time is a complete thief. One of the hardest parts of watching them grow up, is how fast it all goes. Each year becoming more independent. That is a blessing as well, but you can’t help but think, they don’t need you as much anymore, they don’t play with those toys any longer, their own opinions becoming more clear.

I normally wait until the day after Thanksgiving to decorate for the next merry season. But this year my desire has crept in early! I am holding back from decorating just yet, but I’d love to share with you, these images from last holiday! 

A wonderful reminder of that time in Andrea’s life. A new mom, a new routine, a growing family. 

A look back at what is in the distant past. Your baby girl, now almost one years old. A lot has changed, and perhaps so have you.

Cannot think of a better gift.

Until next time,

xoxo

Hello all, here again with a new blog post.

It was just an average day when my phone pinged. It was a new lead from Facebook. I get excited when I get those. But there is a lot to prove before a client agrees to work with you. Also internet leads do not always go as planned. BUT this lead was different. It was Francisca on the other end. She was a new mom and very excited about the birth of their new daughter, Elena! I was so excited to work with them!

Once I arrived, I could see how much thought and love Francisca put into her session. This was her first born and she was so excited! These photos meant so much to her. I hope she knows, it meant so much to me too. I was the photographer she selected for these beloved images. I did not want to let her down!

Baby Elena was so darling, as you can clearly see!

I was so excited about the last element Francisca wanted to add…her wedding veil! A great idea she found on Pinterest and I was ecstatic!! So we played around with the look a bit, but then it happened, the most beautiful and magnificent moment. Elena, wrapped in her mother’s veil – she looked so precious, so innocent and I was truly in awe!

The veil was unique, the moment was special. The vision will last a lifetime for Francisca and her family.

It is an honor to be invited into your client’s home and make these memories. I love my job!
