Esther, Jimmy and Baby Nicholas. Family. Whittier Family Photographer.

I can’t help but pinch myself every time I photograph a new family. I love what I do and I love how I feel because each family is ready to show me their best outfits and smiles. When I say they always show me their best, and I do mean their best, it always melts me heart like an ooey-gooey hunk of brie fresh out of the oven. Well, who doesn’t love cheese, right? So, seeing these families, like Esther and Jimmy, gaze, kiss, squeeze and tickle one another is the sweetest part of all and makes me feel like I’m “just living the dream.” This is like adding the brown sugar right on top of that baked brie. Oh ya! Just try it and spread it on top of your carb of choice. You can thank me later…hee he.  Esther and Jimmy told me they started their family a little late, but that made waiting for ten-month old Nicholas even better. They adore him and I can just feel their love just gushing out. After our super mini studio session we walked to gather some family memories at a nearby park. As we were walking there, Esther blew my socks off. I asked her, like I ask all my new clients, how she heard of me. She responded that I was refereed to her on an invite-only Facebook page for mommies. She told me there were a lots of photographers that are suggested on the wall, but while she was looking, she chose me. I was so flattered that I’m surprised she couldn’t see my heart pounding back and forth out of my shirt (you know like those Warner Bro. cartoons). This just confirms that this was fate and I couldn’t be happier to have met this trio. You have one of the sweetest families, Esther. Thank you for selecting me and don’t forget to invite me into that mommy page. (Just sayin’)
