It’s one thing to see your close friend through the season of pregnancy and another to see a living human being in person exist outside the womb. I am floored on the miracle of life and seeing the product of two people’s love.

If I could, I would do literal cartwheels to show my excitement…in the mean time my words will have to suffice; welcome Esther into this world!

Esther was born on April 3, 2015 at 7pm. I am so excited to share a birthday with you Esther! Esther had her first professional pictures in her home in Tempe about a week after her birth.

It’s incredible to witness glimpses of her personality. She has already taken an interest in the family dog, Bay.

I love this picture of Esther holding on to her father’s hand; a glimpse and promise of a father protecting his daughter.

There is so much beauty in seeing new parents interact with their buddle of love.

Jacki and Josiah I am excited to witness you live out this high calling of parenthood! Thank you for inviting me to document this new season you are entering.

If you missed it, see Jacki and Josiah’s pregnancy and anniversary session!
