Parks Family!

Meet the Parks! Or as I like to call them, my family :) My cousin Matt and his lovely wife, Katie have two beautiful children, Lily and Charlie. I feel lucky to have gotten the opportunity to take some family photos for them over the weekend. The best part is, we went back to the place where they got married. The gazebo? Where Katie and Matt stood together almost 5 years ago and vowed to be together forever :) The area was great! What a beautiful lot. Lots of greenery and space to move around. This was my first experience shooting two young children and I have to say, to all you mothers and fathers out there, I sure do give you a lot of credit. Those kids have energy! They were so cute though. Charlie just wanted to explore and Lily loved picking flowers :) Big thanks to Grandma Mary for standing behind me looking a little crazy to get the kids to smile! And of course, happy 1st birthday, Charlie!! 

Can I get a collective "awwwww"??

I love the curiosity of a child :)

This photo below makes me smile :) Matt you're such a great father to Lily and Charlie.

"Can you walk like Peter Pan?" "Sure!" :)

Are you kidding me with this?? Two handsome boys right there :)

Where Matt and Katie got married!

Good lookin' couple :) 

And then there was three...

There is so much love between these three. It's so evident in these photos. The happiness that I got to witness between Janah and Duane was so wonderful. They couldn't be more excited about having Leo in their lives and I wish them nothing but the best on their new adventure as parents. Big hugs to all of you!! I can't wait to watch Leo grow up in this amazing family :)

Leo "The Lion" Esquivel

I feel so blessed to have this amazing family in my life. I was lucky enough to get to photograph this little angel, Leo Joseph Esquivel. He is the sweetest bundle of joy and so good! I was amazed at how he good he was during the whole session! I can't thank Janah and Duane enough for letting me capture this precious moment for them. They make amazing parents and have so much love to give. It is evident how in love with Leo they are. This kid's got it made :) Enjoy!!
