Kristina and Amir

These picture were taken a while back and as I was looking at the final result I knew I had to share them. Ever-so-often,  everything works in my favor and goes better than planned. This photo shoot was a perfect example. The sunset was gorgeous, the breeze was nice and refreshing, plus I had my husband as an assistant (that doesn’t happen often so it was a nice treat). As a hopeless romantic, I get excited about couples and their story. This couple met during their first year in dental school. They became friends and had the craziness of dental school to contend with. After about a year of friendship, Amir was smart enough to ask Kristina to be his plus one to a wedding. That wedding was the catalyst that took their friendship to the next level and they started dating. Their chemistry was clear and Amir soon proposed during their  third year of school. 

The great thing about meeting in dental school is that they have experienced every emotion with each other.  From the ugliness that comes with being stressed and sleep deprived 24-7 before exams or boards to the overwhelming joy that comes after knowing you passed.  They know the pretty, the ugly and everything in between. In my book, if you can survive a romance under such conditions you can pretty much survive anything life has to throw at you.

Kristina is one of the sweetest dental students I have met thus far. I feel like Aibileen Clark from the movie The Help when I say this (the part where she tells the little girl that she is smart, she is pretty and she is important), she is not only beautiful, but she is smart and more importantly she is kind. Although I don’t know Amir as well as I know Kristina, his love for her was obvious. He treats her like a queen and when he speaks of her there is not only love, but pride in his voice. He has a contagious smile and you can’t help but smile along with him.  I am sure this is only the beginning for these two love birds and can’t wait to see how their story continues to unfold.

When a mama says, “I trust you, Do your thing,” you know it’s about to be good. I’m usually picking apart every little detail, but this gallery? It has my whole heart. These are just a few highlights but truly, I could’ve shared them all. I’m already counting down the days until her cake smash session! Watching this beautiful family grow is such a joy.

It wasn’t the usual kind of lake day—no swimsuits or sun-soaked naps—but it was beautiful in its own way. There’s something special about seeing the lake wake up for the season, teasing us with what’s to come.

While I was out, I found some really great pieces of beach glass, and it immediately made me think of a beautiful mama who shared my love for collecting them. Some clients become friends, and she’s one of them. Now, she’s off enjoying life in warmer waters, but I know she’d appreciate these little treasures just as much as I do.

Spring at the lake always feels like a fresh start—can’t wait for more days like this!
Miss Savana was the very first newborn I photographed in my new studio, and now she’s already six months old! Time is flying! I still haven’t had a grand opening yet (wild, right?), but I’ve been focusing on making progress instead of waiting for everything to be perfect. Little by little, it’s all coming together, and I’m loving the process. Miss Savana was the sweetest little angel, and I’m taking that as a good sign for what’s ahead!

Isn’t it crazy how time sneaks up on us? One minute, it feels like everything is the same, and the next, you step outside and realize just how much has changed. We finally emerged from hibernation yesterday, and the kids were running around, laughing like no time had passed. Then we saw our neighbors walking their dog, and for a moment, it felt like years had slipped by. The kids all looked taller, older—stretched out by time—and honestly, even the dogs seemed to have aged. But we adults? We’re obviously unchanged. 😜

I love watching ‘my babies’ grow up, even from a distance. And can we take a moment for this little one? Look at that hair—I was completely obsessed!
Little Miss Zuri is officially one! I swear time flies—it feels like just yesterday I was capturing her big brother’s newborn and cake smash photos, then her newborns and now her cake smash. It’s been such a joy to watch this sweet family grow and to play a small part in their story. Zuri stole the show with her dancing and singing—she’s already bursting with personality, and I just know she’s going to light up the world. Hope you had an amazing birthday (but knowing your mom I know you did).
