Amazing Grace

January 21, 2014

10 days old and already living up to her name...

Karen and my husband Rob were friends back in college and finally reconnected here in Sacramento after 15 years! It was perfect timing for me because it meant meeting baby Grace.

Grace is a little beauty with her light hair, cute little lips and sleep smiles. She completes the family of four.

When you walk into the Marazzo home this gorgeous teal piano catches your eyes. Nick actually repurposed it himself! I just had to capture little Grace in front of it. My husband said hopefully she becomes a famous musician because she already has her first album cover!

When I look at the photo though, I can't help but think three years down the road when Grace is a little girl, sitting on the same stool, and actually playing the piano.

Don't worry Karen, I won't get too ahead of myself! Momma wants to cherish every second with her baby and Grace is happiest in her arms.

What a treat to meet this lovely family!

Lots of love,

Courtney

Tanner, Ashley and little Leila Jolene

Welcome to the good life!

When I think of Leila Jolene, I want to sing. When I see her, I can't help but smile. This little beauty was born to friends, Ashley and Tanner, on January 5th. A little late, but worth the wait and already soaking up the sun in Santa Cruz.

These new parents wanted me to capture her "littleness". She looks right at home in Daddy's arms.

Just one day shy of two weeks old, Leila was super chill and didn't want to miss any of the action. She may have been a little weirded out by the constant camera in her face though!

This may be my favorite photo from the day! I love both of their funny faces!

Only mommy could put her to sleep. What a stunning duo!

To make this photo extra special, Ashley picked some flowers from their tree. They were the perfect touch to this all natural image.

Ashley and Tanner live life to the fullest and before we know it Leila is going to be swimming, surfing and exploring the world with them. Lucky little lady!

Lots of love,

Courtney

Cheers to great neighbors!

What an awesome way to start off a new career and new year! Thank you to my neighbors and friends for being my very first photo shoot on January 1, 2014! They made it easy on me. I mean look at these guys!

They are such an easy going and fun loving couple! What I love about Vi and Dan is that they are genuine, real and natural people. I tried to capture that in their photos.
