Happiness in Family Life

Right before the weather got super yucky and cold, I snuck in a beautiful Central Park shoot with this adorable family. Shaiffu and I serve in the Primary (the children's Sunday School) together and I just love her family. She approached me about taking some maternity photos for her and I was even more thrilled when she suggested making it a family session. 

Alex and Shaiffu's two year old daughter, Koelle, is absolutely precious, constantly sneaking herself into frames that were originally just going to be of Mommy. 

While watching little Miss Koelle during our session, I couldn't help but imagine what their new little bundle of joy will be like. If she's anything like her big sister, they are surely in for a treat! Little children are such beauties and I can't wait to one day to have children of my own to love and photograph.

Shaiffu is a beauty. I love when clients tell me that they aren't very comfortable in front of the camera because 99% of the time it doesn't show! From the very short amount of time I've known her she's become a huge example to me on being kind and understanding. Her love for her family and for her faith is truly inspiring and I was honored to capture her radiating glow! Photographing the human spirit is my one of my absolute favorite things. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing a beautiful sunset or a mountainside, but the challenge and joy of encapsulating a moment in someone's life gives me a rush.

On December 14th, the Sanhueza Family welcomed their new little girl, Palmyra, and I couldn't be more happy for them.
