Don't Touch Those Cheeks! | Sacramento Family and Child Photographer

 OOOOh my goodness! I love these sweet little boys. You have seen them before here on my blog and they just keep getting cuter and cuter! They did a little mini session with me for the NILMDTS cutest kid contest and I just loved how their personalities came out!

 How can you resist these adorable faces? You just can't! So you will have to get used to wanting to reach out and squeeze their sweet little cheeks because they will be making another appearance this Fall! Can't wait! Until then, feast your eyes on their sweetness :)

 

 Won't you?

Sunkissed & Sweet | Sacramento Childen's Photographer

 I have had the pleasure of capturing Sweet Barcelona (don't you love her name?) a couple times now and it is always a joy. She is so sweet and tenderhearted. I love how her tenderness shines though in these images.

 We had a lovely evening and found some friends along the way. I think this little ladybug stuck with us for quite some time, much to the delight of Miss B.

 I love watching you grow into such a lovely lady! Thank you for the opportunity to capture these moments!

A Mommy's Love - I Heart Faces Challenge | Sacramento Baby and Maternity Photographer

I haven't submitted an image for an iheartfaces challenge in quite some some, but since it is Mother's Day weekend and the theme is "Hey, Girl", I thought I would include one from this neat session I had with this beautiful pregnant momma and her family. I love that she was trying to show her sweet son how to blow on the flower to make it fly away. Images like these are especially poignant for me today, having gotten news of a young mother's shocking death. I am so saddened for her family of six and my heart and prayers go out to them. Life is so, so brief - no matter when it ends. But when it ends at 34, it's just so much harder to fathom. Please, please capture the moments, mothers. Enjoy each day with your precious ones and remember that we are never guaranteed tomorrow.

...Reminding myself that Today is for cherishing, and to be joyful and thankful for it.
