Since the pandemic, we have been dying to go back to photographing all of our wonderful clients. Our sessions are looking a little different this time around, but we are happy to make things work. I always get all giddy inside when friends reach out to us to photograph one of the many milestones life has to offer. Johnny and Eli are two people we adore, so you can see why we got so excited when they reached out to us to photograph their newborn baby girl, Allison!

Johnny and I go way back to the days we used to work at the bug museum in our town. Around the same time was when I met Eli because shortly Johnny proposed to her, they hired me to photograph their wedding! About a year after their wedding, they welcomed their first-born, Xzavier and I took his first portraits as well. So not only did I get to see these two begin their legacy on their wedding day, I am seeing their family grow right before my eyes and it’s so beautiful to see!!

Thank you again Salinas family for welcoming us into your home and having us be a part of this special time in yours lives, we just adore your little family! Allison is so blessed to have you guys as parents and Xzavier as a big brother. ❤️

Hope you guys enjoy some of our favorites from their in-home family/newborn session!

And just for good o’l times sake, here is a photo of Johnny and Eli on their wedding day in 2015.

And here’s one from Xzavier’s first portaits in 2016. It’s so bittersweet looking back on these!
