Denise, Eric and Esai • Family Session

This is one of the most unique and fun sessions I have had the opportunity of shooting! It was a combination of a family session, a one-year session, a maternity session AND an engagement session. Denise and Eric has been so blessed with a family that grew quickly. They adopted Esai this past July and since then have fallen completely in love with him. And I'm sure just by looking at his adorable smile you can see why! They are also expecting a new little baby boy or girl to join their family next month AND next fall Denise and Eric will be tying the knot!

With so much happening right now, they were still able to have a sweet little morning at the park. Esai played and enjoyed being the center of attention, while Denise and Eric flirted and joked with one another like a couple on their first date. Their is so much love in this family and I cannot wait to see where their newest addition will take them!
(also shot out to Heidi at Randt Salon for both connecting Denise and I, and doing an amazing job with her hair!)

This family is SO FUN!

Denise changed into a gorgeous form-fitting dress to show off her cute belly!

LOVE this next one.

By the way, today is Esai's actual 1st birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESAI!

Annette and Adriana • Sister Session

I have to say I love sister sessions, and when a soon-to-be graduating senior is thrown in it becomes a special event. Adriana and Annette are two incredible sisters that wanted to do something special for their parents this Christmas. Annette is a philosophy major at Carleton College while her sister Adriana is a few months away from graduating from Bishop Montgomery High School (my alma mater!:) ) They are both so sweet and insanely intelligent, so I really enjoyed hanging out with the two of them. We spent a surprisingly warm afternoon at Del Cerro Park just before Christmas. I hope to be able to do more senior sessions like this- I just love hearing about a senior's plans and excitement for the future!

Annette was quite the trooper using my fun, old chair!

I'm totally obsessed with these next few of Adriana!
