This beautiful little girl is the daughter of two very loving parents.  Her daddy, Dolf, is a bit of a hero in my eyes.  A mutual friend of ours, Grant, was very sick a few years ago and he took it upon himself to visit Grant once a week to read to him.  From what I’m told, Grant very much looked forward to these visits from his former teacher and it really helped him through the rough times.  When Grant passed away Dolf gave one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever heard in my life and it still resonates with me nearly two years later.  It was such an honor to photograph Dolf and Heather’s daughter as she celebrated her first birthday.  She is absolutely beautiful and has an adorable personality…especially when Dad stepped in to make her laugh!  I had a hard time putting my camera down and calling it a wrap.

I’ve been photographing this litte man for just over one year now and I can’t even begin to describe how much I’ve enjoyed working with him.  Within minutes of meeting his mom at the very first session I knew we would be fast friends.  She is truly one of the most joyous and humble people I’ve ever met in my life and she appears to be passing those traits onto her son.  He is such a calm, happy and content dude which has made working with him a real treat!  Kimberly, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your family memories for the past year.  I wish you guys the best as you settle into your fabulous place in Malibu!  I’ll see you out there soon!!
