Just came back from a fun (and super sunny) photo session at the Rose Garden. I know the Sells through a mutual German friend and had asked if Lara wanted to try out one of my “princess” outfits (which is a maternity dress that I made). Her mom later told me that the princess outfit was the only way they got Lara to agree to the photo session… I am glad she did, because I do sure love how these photos turned out. And it was pretty amazing to see that the roses are still in full bloom at the Rose Garden.

I totally love this mommy daughter image. Maybe some have noticed that I always love black and white edits so much, especially when they show such beautiful connections!

The Sells also came to my house and studio for some more fun shots. This time, their AuPair Kerstin also joined the session.Kerstin is so amazing with kids and has become and invaluable family member (they are even talking about adopting her and I am never sure if it’s a joke or not…). Even my boys, who are usually very shy, had so much fun playing with Kerstin after our session.
