Summer nights are so gorgeous in Southern California. I just love how the heat subsides, and a cool breeze rolls in making being outside the only place to be. The other night I was outside with my youngest, and her sister’s American Girl Doll and stroller. I brought my camera with me, and I’m so glad I did. As we were chatting and walking I couldn’t believe how much she has grown and changed in the last few months. She talks with this sense of confidence and maturity that I just love, while still being a little girl so innocent and sweet. Looking at these pictures reminds me of why I love photography. As her mother I see little things in her expressions that mean so much to me. Little things that I never want to forget as she gets older. I’m so glad I will have these pictures to remind me of what she was like at 4.


















Isn’t she the cutest little Mama! I love how the colors pop in these photos. So beautiful and you’ve captured the light in Sophie’s eyes perfectly.
