It happened again!! I feel so incredibly blessed – I photographed, alongside Leeann Marie, the amazing day that this mama and daddy brought both of their families together. Their wedding was (start-to-finish) perfection. Fast forward a few years and I am documenting the time just after they welcomed the most beautiful baby girl into their world, growing the family I watched them start.

Such an honor for me… really… I LOVE what I get to do. And my job was made easy by the little beauty that has her whole family wrapped around her sweet little fingers already. How can you not just want to drop all that you’re doing and snuggle this beautiful babe. So, so perfect in every way! Welcome to the world sweet baby Lara!
