I have known Joelle for almost 15 years and over the years, our paths will cross every now and then. At each intersection, we chat away as if no time has passed. I love that about us. So when I heard the news of this little guy coming into the world - I was beyond {{beyond}} excited. Joelle has such a huge heart and is the kindest human being you will ever meet and this little guy just hit the jackpot of Mom's. As we hang out during our session, my memory is instantly flooded of the times my kids were new to this world. The newness of it all. The exhausted look of complete bliss and overwhelming love one little person can bring out of you. The tiny feet, the tiny fingers, the little button nose...Mateo, welcome into our world.

Here is a peek into our session...

Congratulations Joelle!

Remember this little one from November?

Look how much she's grown!

And she is one happy little girl with the prettiest eyes well, just look at her parents... she has good genesand how can you not fall in love with her toothless grin

When I moved to San Diego over 10 years ago... I was extremely blessed to have crossed paths with an Aunt from Guam whom I hadn't seen since she was a little girl - Fran. We lived a few blocks from one another and she became a significant part of my life and especially of Branden's (my oldest son). Her nurturing soul made her an instant favorite among all kids who visited. She and her husband Mike's family... helped me raise my boy with Chamorro culture and mannerisms.... which I am forever grateful. She was always... and I mean always there when I needed someone to help me with my son... and ten years later... with my daughter. So as you can imagine when I heard the news she was carrying her first baby.... I jumped for joy and knew this kid would be instantly loved by her and all those around her.... and I have appointed myself his personal photographer :) Hello Max... welcome to best family in town!
