It’s not hard to love your niece and nephew especially when they are this cute.  I went on a family vaction to visit my dad and step-mom in Florida.  As luck would have it I was able to overlap my trip with my sister and her family.  I think I have a small obsession to photograph little girls with pig-tails.  Braden, my nephew, is getting so big.  He is so sweet and curious about everything.  Kennedy, my niece, is a little ball of energy.  I have a new appreciation for my sister after chasing the two of them around for two days. 

My trip wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t take their family portrait at the beach.  Who can resist a perfect sunset?  Not me!  You can always view their slideshow if you want to see more. 

      

   

 

 

Little Dax entered this world and has been warming the hearts of everyone he comes in contact with.  I went out to San Diego to visit some of my girlfriends that recently had babies.  Of course I couldn’t resist taking hundreds of portraits of them.  Dax had a full days worth of posing for the camera. 

I have a handful of friends that I consider family.  It was remarkable to see my friend Ali as a mom.  I have known her for over 25 years and this is one side of her I had yet to see.  The joy, compassion and love she has for her little guy moved me in a way I can’t explain.  I am sure most mom’s can understand. 

I have put a few of my favorites on here, but check out the slideshow to see more.
