The Crow Family | Dylan’s Six Month Portraits | Fresno, CA

Nora and Brian are great clients and friends of mine - I shot their wedding a few years ago, then the extended family, then a maternity session and Dylan's newborn pictures - and now that's he's hit that magic 6 month mark it was time for another session! I love this little guy, between those big cheeks and and giant brown eyes, he's going to be a lady killer. Enjoy some of my favorites!

The Robertson Family | Newborn, Family Portrait Session | Clovis, CA

Fast forward three years and these two have a ridiculously pretty little girl whom I got to photograph on another crazy hot afternoon. I had the great pleasure of hanging around with them for a bit and got to know this newest little addition. I love her serious little face as much as her happy, delighted face - and we got both of them. Take a minute with a few of my favorites... She also had a mind of her own - I love this outtake from the session. She would not stay put at all. Ever. I love the expression on her
