the callen family

I heart this family with all the big puffy heart emojis that exist. We’ve partied with them before for maternity and newborn photos. They are some of the most selfless people I know and have blessed my community in countless ways. People like that can’t help but radiate love, and I’m not kidding when I say I cried the first time I looked through these. I think it was just in total admiration of the little ways they care for each other that come across in their expressions, gestures, and body language. It’s so beautiful, and I did my very best to capture it.
Obviously, Cora is a stinkin’ cutie pie. That smile is 110% amazing! Would it surprise you that her parents reported she’d skipped her nap the day we did these? Oh, babies. You’re always thinking you can throw a wrench in my plans to capture your cuteness, but you can’t! 🙂
My heart melts over this one. Cora, your daddy loooooooves you.
Pretty light + genuine smiles = Yum.
Well, hello again, sweet girl! I’m voting that this one be in a frame. Just my two cents. 😉 Cora just recently turned one, so Cherise brought the cutest balloons, crown and hand-written sign of Cora’s loves and stats for the first year. It was the perfect little “pop” to end our session. If you know me, you know I love a good mama photo. This is definitely my favorite. Mike & Cherise, I love your family’s love. Thanks so much for sharing it with me – for photos, yes, but on all the other days, too. You guys are so special. Love you!
