If you get to meet this lovely family, you will instantly see that special glow in them. Emily and Brian are one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met: always with a gentle smile and a warm hug.

I met Emily when our babies were very little. Her and I both went to Newborn Parenting Classes: such a great place for moms to get together, learn, share wins and struggles, support each other, and just find friends! We would have fun playdates in the park and in a little gym for babies. I remember how we went to Edmund’s baptism sharing their excitement and joy.

You can imagine what an honor it was for me to capture their first professional family portraits! They chose such a cute area with some green hills (quite unbelievable to find these in November, right??) and an adorable spot with beautiful fall colored atmosphere for their photo session in Thousand Oaks area.

Have a look at all the precious smiles! And looking at these you probably would never tell that little Eddie wasn’t really having it that day? 😉
