Old Sacramento 2019
If you’ve been following along for a while, it’ll be no secret to you that this family holds a special place in my heart. They were one of my first photo sessions ever, a decade ago, and are like family to me. I raced to the hospital to be one of the first to hold both Noelle and Gabriel after they were born, and consider their mom, my friend, Joy, to be one of the biggest-hearted, warm, and caring people I have ever met. Our friendship story has been told many times but the tl;dr is that we are the unlikeliest of friends and that, alone, makes our friendship special.
Noelle and Gabriel have turned into the most amazing kids: bright, funny, polite, confident, and loving. I love that they have a playful side, just like their mom, and I love seeing it come through in some of these images. They may be teenagers (or almost teenager in Gabriel’s case) but they are still sweet kids at heart.
I love them all so much and will miss our annual photo sessions.
