Real life is messy and chaotic and beautiful. Those are the things I want to be photographing. The authentic laughter, the candid moments, the cuddles and dancing and silliness that is a child. Alyse is constantly inspiring me as a mom, with her determination and her patience and her joy. She is a fierce momma bear and I love her dearly. Her family pops up on my blog pretty often, after all she is family!! Our Mommy & Me mini session at the Jim Green Trail in Atascadero was even more special because it was the first time I got to photograph baby Teah as well!! Thank you guys for playing with me, and trusting me to do your family pictures time and again. I love getting to do life with you!! Happy Mother’s Day Alyse!!
