Geoff and I took a little trip to Puerto Rico recently. It was lovely. 10/10 would Puerto Rico again. Brilliant weather, lovely people, and a significant amount of cats. Here are some of my favorite photos I took on my iPhone 13 Mini and a few from our GoPro. The resort pictures from the rainforest at the end (pool, peacocks) were taken at Mont Carpe Diem which we highly, highly recommend!
So happy to meet baby Phifer, the latest and greatest addition to Liz and David’s family! We photographed Liz and David’s Duke Chapel wedding back in 2018 and it was so wonderful to reunite with them to photograph this new stage in their life. Phifer is an incredibly beautiful and sweet little baby, and she has the best parents to back her up. She also has two older doggo sisters, Murphy and Shepard, who will be there to help her along her way! I spent the morning hanging around Liz and David’s amazing home and garden taking pictures of their sweet little family together. They have the BEST magnolia blanket and also the BEST giant painting of the sea and I want to move in. It was wonderful to see them again and welcome Phifer into the family!
It was a joy to photograph this little family of three! So much joy that I immediately forgot to give them a bat sticker because Wyatt smiled at me with such a happy little baby smile that I was immediately smitten with him and forgot what I was doing. Those eyelashes! Those singular couple of teeth! Wyatt is one year old and is one of the happiest one-year-olds I’ve ever met. He seems to realize that he has it good: a playroom with a ball pit and a tunnel, parents who love him, dogs that also love him, a nursery themed with bugs. What more could you want at ~12 months? He seems both appreciative and thrilled at his good fortune, and smiled for the entire hour I was at their house. He was extremely cooperative. Adriana and Trey were equally as delightful and cooperative, and I’m so glad I finally got a chance to work with them! They love traveling and books and video games and maybe have the best built-in bookcase in all of the land. I had a great time photographing these wonderful people!
