San Diego Family Photographer // The Cheshire Family

Fate.  Kismet.  Circumstance.  Coincidence.  If we’re lucky, one of those beliefs will step in and introduce us to some amazing people… folks who hopefully become lifelong friends.  Two and a half years ago, I was the recipient of some very good fortune when I met Josh & Nicole.

We bumped into each other during an engagement shoot, although not their own.  Lucky for me, they were blissfully happy and newly engaged and so we exchanged information.  I got to know them as we conversed over email, talked on the phone, shot their own engagement session and eventually their wedding.  And every time I saw them, I cherished our time together.  They are some of the most genuine, caring, and heartfelt people I know.

After the wedding they moved to the East Coast, but we still kept in touch.  Which is why I was super stoked to see them when they came out to San Diego on a recent family vacation.  The extra special part?  In the two years since I’ve known Josh & Nicole, they have added to their family with sweet little Jacks.

I could go on and on about this family, but I prefer to let the photos do the talking.  Thank you for being you, Cheshire family.  You rock my socks off. :)

San Diego Family Photographer // Nicole + Gabriel

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” -Washington Irving

It seems that when a family is made up of only two individuals, it’s them against the world.  As long as they have each other, everything will always be okay.  The bond that Nicole and Gabriel have embodies that.  Although Gabriel is 100% rambunctious, spirited boy, anyone can see that is mom is his best friend.  And when talking to Nicole, one only has to look at her glowing face to see how proud she is of her son.  It was such a joy to spend a windy, beach-y, afternoon with these two, playing, laughing and bearing witness to their amazing relationship.
