Welcome Baby Bear

A few months ago I had the pleasure of photographing one of my very favorite humans

Watching my childhood friends become spouses and parents has been such a fulfilling part of “growing up” and being hired to photograph their journeys has been a huge blessing.

And just in case you were wondering, yes, Bear was absolutely the sweetest, chillest, angel baby there ever was.

Gabby’s love of nature sprouts from her bones through generations of green thumbs in her family. It was only fitting that we celebrated the new life in her family by meeting up at her childhood home when she came to visit for Spring Break.
