The Tesch's Wedding - Sneak Peek

Jaden Jaka

Jaden Jaka (Indonesian for small boy) was 6 months old when I did this session. He is now 3 years old and boy how he's grown. He loves Elmo and spicy food. I know totally random. The boy can scream but he can be super sweet like pictured below.

Eleni

Here's a sneak peek of my session with Eleni. Her dad has Dominican blood and mom is of Greek descendant. So you'll bet your bottoms this girl got some exotic features. More to come!

Frank The Tank

I have been meaning to get these photos out since I got home from the session but something always got in a way. I even tried posting during my vacation downtime (alongside the hotel pool while the boys swim) but the connection is so wonky! Boo.

Anyway, it' about 7:05 pm on Sunday and I just stepped foot at my house after leaving it unattended about nine days and I immediately ran upstairs to the computer, anxious to get these photos out. Unpacking and picking up our mail can wait.

I give you, Frank the Tank. Super adorable seven month old who welcomed me with the biggest smile as soon as I walked in to the door. You will see that mommy Molly looks absolutely gorgeous after having Frank. I know it can be challenging to get that baby weight off. I know from a personal experience. Kudos to you Molly! Thank you for reaching out to me to have Frank photographed. Do let me know if you're in a pinch for a sitter because I'll gladly sit this adorable punk ANY day!

This was my FAVORITE!

AND this one too!

Gorgeous family! Thank you so much!

Sneak Peek Baby Elena

I am working on the rest of this pretty girl's portraits.

Can't wait to show them to you.

Ashlyn

I had THE pleasure of working with Ashlyn for her senior pictures. She's one of the coolest girls I've come across, carries out conversations well, smart and funny as hell! She plays softball and plays guitar really well too. During the guitar session, she played this soft tune that sort of put me to ease and as she plays throughout the session I told her to start talking, just talking, spilling out whatever is in her mind. I loved it! Mom was with her and helped me get her to laugh and smile, she has this beautiful and contagious smile.

I am trying to show her strength and sporty side through her softball gear and slowly bringing it down to her cool, softer and feminine side.

I hope you enjoy looking through these as much as I took them.

Tristan is ONE!

Okay, y'all remember this and this, and this? That was the same boy three, six and nine months ago. He's celebrating his first birthday this month and I can't believe how grown he is and how time flies.

Jenny hired me to do Tristan 3 months, 6 months and 9 months and I suggested to do his 12 months session on his birthday party. I love doing these first year's session! In essence, I too get to watch them grow!

I hope Jenny still lets me take his pictures when he's 2, 3, 4, 17. I've grown to love this dude too damn much! Happy Birthday Tristan!
