" D Squared = Perfect Harmony"

The clouds part ways as the heaven's begin to sing glorious songs of praise; the sudden temperature rises through your cool carefree body the moment you realize this is it! This is the person I chose to spend the rest of my life loving, caring, doing anything for; this is the person beyond on all human control I know deep down is the one for me! This is the person I have fought battles all my life to find; this is the person that completes me and makes me feel whole!

I don't know if this is how it truly felt for Dawn and Devan the day they decided to take their love beyond the superficialness of a dating relationship, but I can say that after spending an entire afternoon with them, that they complete each other. Devan is completely smitten by Dawn, and Dawn is head over heels for Devan.   When they are together . . . nothing else in the world matters. Their love shines brighter than any star in the sky, and I can see they truly have a love that will go beyond measures for each other.

We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day, allowing us to capture the most perfect pictures of the two of them enjoying one of their favorite pass times . . . visiting wine country. I had THE most difficult time only posting the few pictures I am. Seriously, every picture was a keeper from this session. If only I could devote an entire blog to this couple and the love they share. I cannot wait until their wedding day. They are an amazing couple that most definitely brings out the best in each other!

"Four Dapper Young Men And A Beautiful Lady"

Greg and Natalie have the most amazing group of boys I have ever been around. Every single one of them were so polite, well mannered, adorable, and a complete pleasure to get to know.

Zach most definitely gives the women a run for their money with his killer eyes! I asked him if he has all the girls after him at school; and with a giant grin on his face he replied, "Oh Yeah!". Gee no surprise there! I believe he is quickly training up his brother Chandler to be just as good with the ladies. Chandler definitely will be giving Zach a run for his money when he gets older. Better watch out Zach because I think Chandler might steal your girlfriends away; that is when you are 30 and your parents say you are old enough to finally date!

Ian, oh Ian . . . what do I have to say about this little cutie who is full of life and spunk. From the moment he hoped out of the car he had us all laughing with his charming personality. He definitely is the life of the party and I am guessing the boy who keeps Natalie and Greg on their toes. I love boys like this, that are so full of life and joy.

Natalie and Greg have done an amazing job with these boys. It is so rare to find families that have such well behaved young boys. They are the sweetest people and I feel so honored to have been able to spend some quality time learning about what makes this family so unique. I don't know if it's too early to ask Natalie, but can I please reserve Zach for my daughter to marry since he's the perfect age for her (totally kidding, but can I?) *wink wink*





















Natalie asked if I minded if they took some pictures in their Tebow shirts because they are big fans. Are you kidding me? YES PLEASE!!!! I absolutely love when people bring their own interests into their sessions. It personalizes their time with me and allows me to truly capture the art of their family!




Oh yes, they are doing the Tebow!


. . . And of course what's a session in Tebow shirts without a little family football time! Down, Set, Hike!




Natalie and Greg, I had such a great time meeting you and your family, you are all amazing! Thanks so much for allowing me the time to get to know you guys. I hope I will see you again sometime in the future!

Pavletich Family

Family Author: Glenda Campbell

There's a special kind of closeness
that only families know,
That begins with childhood trust
and deepens as you grow.

There's a special kind of happiness
in sharing little things,
The laughter, smiles, and quiet talks
that daily living brings.

There's a special kind of comfort
in knowing your family's there,
To back you up, to cheer you up
to understand and care.

Of all the treasures life may bring,
your family means the most,
And whether near or far apart,
That love will hold you close

Precious Caden

I am so excited to show off this absolutely beautiful little boy that Niki and Chris had. He is perfectly angelic. I could not have asked for a better session. We only had one hour to capture what we could . . . the outcome was far better than I think any of us could have imagined. He was perfect the entire time. I would have thought they brought me a doll with how well he stayed asleep and allowed us to capture whatever we wanted.

This family is truly in love. Jaden is such a sweet big sister. She is loving having a little brother, except she did say she does not like when he cries because he is very loud and she can hear him all the way upstairs in her room. Chris is in heaven with his little handsome boy he has longed for. He now has a complete family . . . although I do believe he would like more kids; now if he can just talk Niki into it. Niki is looking amazing, of course! She is so in love with her two beautiful healthy babies, and who can blame her they both are absolutely precious.

I cannot wait to take their first family photos (well I guess I should say 2nd family portrait) next month. I absolutely love this family and could go on for days about them. What an amazing first anniversary present for them to share, bringing a new life into this world! You guys are amazing and I look forward to seeing how much Caden grows in the next month!
