Martinez // Los Angeles Family Portraits

A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to document the Martinez family... Little Albert is so handsome and just celebrated his second birthday! Happy birthday little man :)

Here are some of my favorites...

Pacileo Family // Los Angeles Maternity

Maternity sessions have quickly become my favorite. It's a special time in a women's life and a must to get documented. I get teary-eyed just thinking about how the development of a baby is all a miracle. My pregnancy may or may not be contributing to these tears ;) Meet the Pacileo's, they are a military family who over the pass couple of months have had to be separated due to David's duties, but will soon be reunited for good just in time for baby AJ's grand entrance! David was visiting from Texas for the weekend so we decided to take advantage of that and here are some favorites from their session.

Malerie, seriously your glowing & look GORGEOUS!!!

 

 Precious Zoe gave me "the look" I LOVE it!!

And there's no denying it, she's definitely a Daddy's girl!

 

She's going to be an amazing big sister! I can just tell...

 These two <3

The light was pretty amazing!! 

Best wishes to the Pacileo's, cannot wait to meet little AJ <3 Thank you soo much for allowing me to capture these moments for you!

Letter to my daughter: Happy 18 months Emma!

My dearest Emma:

I can't even begin to fathom that you are officially a "toddler" now! Your soul is so beautiful it radiates. I can't believe I get to be your momma. I feel incredibly blessed.

As you grow, so does your personality. Although you can be very shy at first, you always seem to warm up to new people at the perfect time. Some of your favorite words right now are "go", "yeah", "than chu", "mas", "yum" and my least favorite "no" ;) On occasion you still speak in your own language, which I think is you mimicking us speak English. It's soo cute! You LOVE to sing! I'll have to record ya one of these days so you can hear yourself one day. And you love to carry a camera, necklace & purse around everywhere. Your favorite dolls right now are the cabbage-patch & the Angelina Ballerina. Somehow you always find a way to make Papa & I laugh hysterically at dinner time, baby girl, we love you soo much! You will always be my "baby girl."

And now that you'll be a big sister in just a few short months, I have no doubts that you will be an amazing big sister. My heart swells up just thinking about it.

And apparently, I'm funny! ;)

I love you more than words....

Your mama <3
