As a photographer, I always imagine what a dream session would look like…until now. Gaby, also a photographer and a good friend, asked me to capture some memories of her absolutely adorable and stylish family of five, or like she calls it #subingpartyoffive. The location, their outfits, the flower crowns and all the tenderness that they shared that afternoon made for one magical session. The night before the shoot I was as excited and nervous as if I was having the first day of school jitters that you get as a kid. I know Gaby as a friend, so not only was I like, “What… you want me to take your photos?” but I wanted to make a really good impression on her as a photographer. She had told me that they have never taken professional family photos before. You see…us photographers are always behind the lens, even with are own families, so we seldom have our photos taken. No pressure right? Right….I couldn’t sleep as I tossed and turned and had a gazillion types of poses running through my mind. As soon as I arrived I forgot all but a few, yet it didn’t matter because I didn’t have to do much but let her family have fun and express their love for one another.

Gaby and Ash have three children. Noah (age 4) and Mateo and Serene (age 3). Yup, they have a set of #twinkies and I’m in awe! Not only does Gaby dress them to impress, but they are super sweet kiddos. Oh, lets not forget how gorgeous she is! They’re basically a perfect little family of five. They are all as lovely on the outside as they are on the inside. This year Gaby and Ash will celebrate their seven year wedding anniversary. Happy Anni guys. I wish you lots of love and happiness and many more moons together! I hope you love these photos as much as I do!
