I dedicate this post to all the moms out there. Moms, in whatever form it means to you and the relationships that have extended from them. Coming from someone who spent most of her life adamantly not wanting kids, this post comes from a very special place in my heart where the biggest life change I ever made, turned out to be the best by far. I come from a small immediate family but a huge extended family where I consider myself very lucky to celebrate this day in my heart with my mom, Godmom, Godmom to my children, the network of friends who help me raise my “villagers”, grandmoms to my babies, and the many moms I’ve been blessed enough to capture behind the lens. Looking back on some of the motherhood moments I’ve caught this past year cemented the fact that capturing moments between people is an amazing gift that I am grateful to have been given. Thank you moms everywhere for all that you do and warm thoughts to all who are holding on to memories of their moms who have gone. A few mommy moments this past year that will forever leave an imprint in my heart. Happy Mother’s Day!

If you’ve ever been to the desert in the gorgeous light of the evening sunset, you know of its magic. If not, like me, this is a new experience and you’d pull your car over and set up the tripod , attempt to set focus and run to where you think the magic will happen in a 1/320 of a second to catch a few images of you and your daughter. Focusing on a random bush is not easy. Running to said bush to try to be in the image and somewhat in focus when there is no one or nothing to set focus on is even more difficult. Here are some I am proud of. To be in pictures with my daughter is priceless. To be a passerby, such an experience must have been hysterical. Happy early Mother’s Day!
Look for the outtake in the last image. Such a delicate little flower my little thing is 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

To say that the coming of this new baby was long awaited would be an understatement. Adding the final piece to this family puzzle has everyone in a tizzy of excitement and anticipation. When editing this session I kept going back to the remake by Izzy. Click here for a mood setter. Since they met and married in Hawaii, it was more than fitting. To be able to capture this stage of this family’s life was an honor. Truthfully, it was a terrible week of weather and it was so overcast during their shoot I thought I might cry. Me, the lover of all things sunshiny and bright. After their session I decided we didn’t need any sunshine with us as they brought more than enough simply with their presence, excitement, and love for one another..
