The Kesslers
… And Ruby is one. I can’t believe how fast life moves. I feel like it was just a year ago that I was photographing Rachel and Jake’s wedding– when it was actually almost 5 years ago that they tied the knot. Now they are celebrating a new chapter in their lives–a new love, an unbelievable love, a wild ride, a scary and funny and honest journey. And Ruby is one. Wow. She’s a precious little bean– gorgeous and smart and crawling all over the place like a little spider. She lights up her mama’s eyes and brings a constant smirk to her daddy lips. Now that I’m a mama myself, I can’t tell you how precious these first year images are. Babies grow so fast–every week there’s a new milestone. I’m so fortunate to get to be friends with the Kesslers and will hopefully continue to photograph this incredible journey they are on. First it was two, now it’s three… and who knows. I think these guys should have a few more. They are amazing parents and glowing like I’ve never seen them. Happy birthday, sweet Ruby–you’re a lucky gal to have such remarkable parents.

I just wanted to say you take amazing photos. I have just been glancing through various blogs and stumbled upon yours. I love how you fade the areas surrounding your main subject to bring focus to them, and you still manage to capture the beautiful colors within the shot. Keep up the amazing work!
Hey – you’re good! There’s so much average family photography out there and it’s refreshing to stumble upon your photos.
Question – that series of photos near the top with dad holding the kid on shoulders – what lens is that? It looks like there’s almost some distortion on his face which makes the photo even more animated, just wondering if you were quite close and wide to get that shot?
