2015 Mother's Day Mini Sessions {Templeton}

Oh my goodness!...the cute families in this post might blow you away. Sunday's Mother's Day Mini Sessions were a complete success and so wonderful! I was blessed to use a custom-made canvas teepee by the talented Jesse Aguilar (e-mail me if you want her contact information for purchasing) and the amazing property of our dear friends The Bowers. Thank you everyone for allowing Melodee and I to be with your beautiful families and laugh alongside you in the journey of parenthood! xoxo

2013 Mother's Day Mini Sessions {Atascadero}

I found my heart melting while editing all these AMAZING family pictures! It's funny how being a mom of two makes me emotional and sentimental at almost any occasion. I am known to be teary during vows, teary during daddy-daughter dances and teary with parent's interacting with their kiddos. As a whole I promise I don't cry a lot but children seem to be an exception to that statement. Nonetheless, these million (yes, there are a ton) pictures will cause almost anyone to want to grab some of those precious moments with your little ones. I am constantly telling myself they will never be this little again and I love freezing time for others. Seeing moms giggle with their kids or capturing that belly laugh smile, I am reminded how much I love my job. Enjoy this year's Mother's Day Mini Sessions...
