Last fall Iz and I got the opportunity to do a mother daughter shoot with my extremely talented friend Jayme Montoya with Lucid Design and Photography. Nick was pretty jealous so tonight we went out and got a few with Nick and his best buddy. I can’t tell you how smitten this guy is about this little girl. Sometimes at night I catch him watching her sleep in her room. It’s the most beautiful thing. He recently read that we should be calling things by their name so she can start to learn words for items. I turned around in Costco on Sunday and he was walking through whispering to her what everything was. Orange, bag, toaster, banana. It made me melt. These two are just too much!

And Nick snapped one of us as well.

I started shooting these friends of mine a year ago when their sweet little McKenna was just born. She’s a walking, smiling, laughing, beautiful little one year old now. I loved watching her grow up this past year. And I absolutely LOVE shooting on their orchard. It’s so peaceful and quiet. Very calming. Happy face.
