Love the beautiful light in these images, the genuine smiles and laughter, and Grace’s absolutely divine curls.  It was such a pleasure to spend the evening with a family that appreciates capturing their kiddos fleeting childhood.  Every time I work on images like this of siblings, I think about them seeing the photos in 30 years and how special they will be.  I’m sure if Owen and Grace are anything like my two, they can fight with the best of them – but they’ll look back and know – family is forever.

There is something amazingly special about two families coming together in marriage, and Jori and Chris’ wedding was no exception.  The night turned out more beautifully than I could have imagined.  The sun set as the ceremony began, and the lights at the Tuscany Villa added to the drama of the evening.  Jori, you were stunning, and I am so happy for you and Chris!!  You can view more images from their gorgeous day in their slideshow.

One of my very favorite families added a sweet baby boy! Haley tweeted me today, and how could I refuse a sneak peek request.  Dare I say this has brought me out of my blogging coma — look for another post tomorrow!  But for now, enjoy sweet Harrison and the gorgeous family that I’ve had the privilege of watching grow.  I first photographed Haley’s maternity photos when she was pregnant with Haden over two years ago!
