oh ellie.

 

last week i got to hang out with these three.  

we chatted about kids and photography, adventured around the park and snuggled up little ellie.

they were relaxed and comfortable and ridiculously photogenic.  it was simple and perfect.  

 

meet the marks family.

 

i have been photographing families for a few years now.  i have this vision when going into a session and what i want to provide my clients with, but sometimes nerves take over or my mind goes blank.  so i just keep pushing through and working at it.  but, this family and this session, is what i love to do.

their home was welcoming and comfortable.  the kids were kind and adventurous.  their spirits were elated and animated.  the weather was warm and bright.  their family was oh so loving and sweet.   it was perfect.

 

a new addition.

 

one of my favorite things is meeting new families, but what is even better than that is meeting new families that are about to welcome their first baby.  it is all so new and unknown and i can't help but be excited from them as they prepare for the best journey yet!  

 

ellen + arkadiy get married.

 

talk about a beaming bride...this is her!  her smile is beyond contagious and you could feel the excitement she had to marry her groom the whole entire day.  an intimate ceremony, followed by an absolute fun filled reception was how ellen and arkadiy spent this saturday.  

thank you to both of you for allowing me to share in the day.  it was perfect.
