welcome to my blog

The anticipation of having a baby GIRL…I know it well! Actually, with our first baby we waited until she was born to find out her gender. I KNEW she was a girl though! I was right! With our second child we found out ahead of time, and knowing Mackenzie would have a little sister was so special. Hopefully, someday I will know what it is like to look forward to a grandSON, but I am so grateful for the girls God gave us.

Katie and Nick are going through this season right now and the excitement and joy coming from both of them is so sweet! Zack and I shot their engagement session and their wedding a few years back and now to see them expecting their first child is incredibly precious. I am so grateful that I could be a part of both of those seasons of life for them. What a special honor to shoot their maternity session as well! As we walked around Balboa Park I was reminded once again that these two are truly a phenomenal couple. This little baby girl is going to be so blessed to have her amazing mommy and daddy.

I first met Katie when she taught along side me at Rancho del Rey Middle School. She has since moved on to teach English at the high school, but getting to know her personally and professionally has been a privilege. Her students are blessed to have her. She is so patient and kind. Qualities that make her a great teacher and will certainly make her a wonderful mother as well. Nick is the perfect compliment to her too! Soft spoken, highly intelligent, and very tender and gentle with his beloved wife. What a great dad he is going to be for a little girl!
