It’s been over five years since Lydia and Jessenia’s sweet proposal and four years since we celebrated their wedding, and not long after that, they welcomed their first baby.

It’s always so special to reconnect with couples as they move into new chapters of their lives!

It feels like just yesterday that Hannah and Henrique said “I do” at City Hall, and now, two and a half years later, I had the joy of capturing their beautiful family again — this time with a precious new addition! We met up at Filoli Gardens, where the colorful, vibrant blooms made the perfect backdrop for their family photos. The love and happiness between them was so clear, and to make it even more special, Hannah’s parents were visiting, so I got to see the whole family together once more. It was a heartwarming reunion filled with laughter, love, and so much joy!
