Welcome to the world little Nicky, we are so glad you are here!

My husband and I were Zach and Mary’s wedding photographers and we’ve run into each other from time to around town. I did a motherhood photography session with Mary and Arthur a few years ago which was the last time we had seen each other .

And then, the icing on the cake was meeting these three at their beautiful Chico home for newborn photos.
