Charli and I crossed paths during our short time as KKG's at the University of Texas and I was so flattered when she contacted me to document her darling new baby girl. There is nothing I love more than connecting with old friends and getting a front row seat to their precious life milestones. Charli is a naturally wonderful mama and after meeting her own sweet mama I see exactly where she gets it. Her mom was the perfect assistant for our shoot and even whipped up a gourmet snack tray in-between takes, which obviously won me over! Be sure and note the adorable custom giraffe painting she made for her precious granddaughter's nursery. You can see more of her work at artbysandrak.blogspot.com.

I look forward to photographing Charli's sister Khaki's wedding this coming weekend. I truly love this job of mine that keeps me connected to so many wonderful people throughout the most memorable moments of their lives.
