Did I take a selfie during my last session at just because the yellow chair matched my yellow shirt? Mayyybeee...

More importantly, hello Friday! I'm trying to show my face some more here. Every time I look for a photographer to book for our own family photos, I always want to know more about who I'm going to hire. Is that weird? Not sure.

So, fun fact of the day: I have a math degree. I love math. I play Nerdle instead of Wordle - it's a thing! Try it out!

These are my beautiful friends, Khouanchy and Josh and their children! They recently moved across the country (😭!!), but I was privileged to be able to spend one last evening with them this summer taking photos overlooking the golden hills of California.

I've been doing more family sessions than weddings lately, and I have to say I'm enjoying it! I still love the wedding day stuff, but I appreciate the family photos much more now. I spent 15 minutes this morning trying to pick out new photos for our bedroom photo wall and I came across all the one-week-old-Andy photos and kept thinking to myself HE'S SO TINY! 🥰 PSA: print your photos so you look back often on what your family has looked like in years past!

I'm not so great at posting on Facebook, but I've noticed some new visitors recently so I wanted to say hi! 🙋‍♀️ Come find me on Instagram if you want more regular updates 😉

But for today...these were some of the favorite picks from Christmas mini sessions early last month. (November is last month now?!)

Del Valle engagement photos on a winter morning in January. The views are beautiful and there are plenty of spots for great photos.
