penny: we've had been keeping this secret from you for almost 2 months! our decision to not tell you until we were ready to tell everyone was completely validated when we walked into your school the next day and you announced proudly to all within earshot "i'm having a baby!!!". to say you're very excited would be an understatement!

penny: an equal desire to be covered in both the mud AND the flowers.
penny: afternoons in the backyard with you and stella, it's childhood at its finest.
When I pulled up to the house for this family shoot I'll admit my heart did skip a beat. This sweet family literally live right around the corner from our old apartment in a house that I had drooled over many a time in passing. From that moment on everything about this session just flowed naturally. For being such new first time parents Melissa + Federico were so calm and comfortable in front of my camera. The way they just adore not only Lucia, but also each other, is quite obvious in the images below. And when Lucia's daddy, who was born in Argentina, sung her to sleep in Spanish with her favorite lullaby I was done for! If only folks knew just how often I cry while hiding behind my camera. Such a beautiful family, and I was honored to document them...
