Reeve // 1 Week Old
7 whole days with my whole heart. This girl is brand new but already showing so much personality! Also, maternity leave is awesome.
Our Birth Story: Reeve Colette Sinnard
Our baby girl arrived (get, this) on our one year wedding anniversary!! Her name is Reeve Colette Sinnard born May 29, 2017 at 11:01pm weighing 7lbs 15oz and 20 inches long. Black hair, blue eyes, pouty lips, chunky little perfection.
(Yes, you can follow her on instagram @ReeveCoco because I just can't overload my work instagram with baby photos!)
Read on if you are interested in my detailed account of our birth story that I tapped out on my phone in between breastfeeding and snuggles in this first week that we've been home with her. It's an amazingly powerful story for me for many reasons obviously but I wanted to share it in the hopes that it encourages any and all women who read it to fight to have the labor that they want and to truly believe in the strength of their own bodies!
Brandon+Nicole: Film Sneak Peeks!
I just HAD to share some of Brandon+Nicole's film scans from their beautiful day!! Feast your eyes!

Alli+Rob: Smoky Hollow, El Segundo
Alli+Rob are the kind of couple everyone wants to be friends with. They are just overflowing with sweetness and smiles and adventure! Their wedding day had so many unique little touches (like beer brewed by the groom!) and romantic-meets-industrial vibes with Alli's gorgeous lace and blush dress and feminine florals and macrame ceremony backdrop within the raw industrial space of Smoky Hollow Studios. I'm so grateful that I get to have such fun and creative clients!
Lyon Family Maternity: Manhattan Beach
These soon-to-be parents are two of our very best friends! When we found out that we would be having babies due just TWO DAYS apart we were so so excited to have close friends to go through each step together! We can't wait to meet little baby boy Lyon in just a matter of weeks (days??) and introduce him to our little girl (a.k.a. his future wife, duh)
Michele+Andi: Mommy+Me Maternity Mini
One of my very favorite Manhattan Beach families is expecting #2 in April! A little boy! So we decided one last girly mama+me session was in order while little Andi was still an only child.
Shadie+Saul: Tahoe Wedding
These two lovebugs live in Australia but planned their summer wedding in Tahoe, CA! It was my first time going to Tahoe and I definitely hope to shoot there again, the light was perfection and we had trees, lake and sand to shoot at which is basically a photographer's dream. Planning, florals, decor and music was on point but the smiling faces of the sweet couple was by far the best part! They totally enjoyed every second to the fullest!
Taryn+John: Egg Harbor, Wisconsin
Taryn and I met in college back in my NYU days and when she asked me to shoot her wedding in her hometown in Wisconsin, I was all over it!
