It’s no secret that this family is among my favorites. I first met Val & Emma several years back when Emma was pregnant with their first baby. Since then, as their family photographer, I have been fortunate enough to help the Alvarados celebrate their baby’s first year of milestones, Mother’s Day, another pregnancy, and the arrival of their second sweet little one, a boy, Baby A.
I mean, really, aren’t they an adorable family? What’s not to love?

Ok, are these kiddos not the cutest ever? How I’ve loved documenting Miss S … she has the sweetest personality and is always a ham in front of the camera. And her smile? Totally infectious.

Such a handsome little dude! I just want to love on those cheeks! Which is your favorite edit – color or black and white?

Gah! Makes my heart so happy when we snag some newborn smiles! We have a few “tricks” up our sleeve to try and coax a smile, but most of the time it’s just plain old luck!

Our rule for babies … if they’ve got some chunk we show it off! 🙂

Val and Emma, I don’t want to be all weepy and emotional, but y’all have blessed my life in such a big way. I’m thankful we met those years ago, that you continued to trust me with your life’s biggest memories, and that I am lucky enough to call you my friends. Wishing you all the best and praying our paths cross again. <3
