Nicole and Paul are two of the sweetest people I know. To me they are the definition of soul mates and naturally, with this great connection they were determined to create an amazing family. Yet this one gift of life seemed to elude them. As their friends became parents, Nicole and Paul kept smiles on their faces and they tried that much harder, but year after year passed without a pregnancy. Deciding to put science aside for a while and take some time off from their long and arduous journey toward parenthood, out of the blue Nicole became pregnant. With twins. With one beautiful boy. And one beautiful girl. And just like that, God granted the gift of parenthood to two incredibly deserving and loving people.
Amen.
Nicole, you're beyond gorgeous with a baby in your arms.
Our main objective during the shoot was to capture some Christmas pictures with which to announce the arrival of Justin and Liliana, who had just turned two weeks old. Nicole told me that for years she had a vision of babies in Christmas stockings, so that's exactly where these babies landed!
(Call home.)
Justin is a sleeper, but Liliana serves as watch while he slumbers. They're a great team.
And you guys make a truly awesome family. Thanks for spending time with me!

Meet Avery.
Avery is a 16-month old who can define exactly what he wants, when he wants it, and how he wants it. But what's most unbelievable about Avery is his astute ability to precisely communicate what those expectations are...
... and whether you're adequately fulfilling them or not!
And while it's not beyond Avery to let you know if you are not quite measuring up, he is sweet. He is cute. And yes, he is content.
And he is also a bundle of inquisitive, almost non-stop energy!
By the same token, Avery is smart enough to insert a little down time into his busy schedule.
Because round two is not far behind!
Thank you... Danielle, Brett, and Avery... for sharing a slice of your life with me. You are an adorable family and way too much fun!

Chrissy and Nick's marriage was the last shoot of my wedding season, and what an awesome wedding to have as the season finale! Both active duty soldiers stationed in Texas, they had a small window of opportunity in which to pull off what to some might have seemed near impossible, but Chrissy planned and organized a West Point wedding with only six months notice while Nick was away serving in Afghanistan. His parents were an enormous help in facilitating details that she couldn't handle from afar, she was able to obtain a fabulous Gavin Michaels gown through the generosity of Brides Across America, and despite the fact that many military couples are forced to forego the wedding of their dreams, Chrissy found ways to work miracles. I think what she whispered to me before I left their reception at the end of the night sums it up. "I just love him so much," she sighed. And it was over the top obvious that he just loves her so much, too!
