the oregon coast with dear friends

cherish : one year young : the newell jones family

There's something so dear to me about a one year old's birthday party. A celebration marking this immensely wild and wondrous year, this trip around the sun for a little one, and an anniversary of parenthood. It's such a beautiful and tender time.

It was such an honor to photograph this sweet family. The Papa and Mama birds are incredibly talented photographers and beautiful-beautiful-souls, and their dear boy... I'd take a dozen just like him, he's such a sweetheart!

Love and Light,

Heather

Cherish: Leila and Family

This family, especially the amazing mama, is so dear to me. Leila was our Doula for Desmond's birth and she will forever hold a very special place in my heart. She was there for me in such a fundamental way during such a trying, wild and wondrous time. Her patience, kindness, sense of humor, and earth mama knowledge helped me safely deliver my baby boy. She's a superhero, rockstar and insanely inspiring mama in my book, and her family is so beautiful and amazing. 

Thank you Leila!

Love and Light,

Heather
