Not long after moving to San Diego, I was introduced to a newlywed couple who had just driven across the country from New York to start a church. Everything they owned packed in their little Jetta to start a new life...and help build other lives through loving God and serving their community. My life has not been the same since Existence Church began and I've been blessed to have friends like Josh & Kim. Almost seven years later, they've added a new addition to their family...Kruise Wayne Hotsenpiller was born on December 27th! Here are a few photos from our newborn session...

We started off in the nursery...

Very proud parents...

And a very alert Kruise!

Then we decided to take a few pics with Josh's other pride and joy...his motorcycle :)

Kruise fit perfectly inside the helmet :)

Josh & Kim - thank you for everything you've done for me and your church family. Kruise is so blessed to have wonderful parents like you! xoxo

Do you remember this cute little belly??

One month ago today, this cute little baby entered the world! Canon was born just a few months after his cousin, Landon. Marisa and Leif are going to be wonderful parents...they were very easy-going during our session and love this little man so much.

Canon was sporting his spikey hair, just like his dad. :)

One of my favorites...

Being a December baby, we couldn't resist an adorable stocking stuffer!

Cuddling with big sister puppy, Jersey.

I was packing up my things to leave...when he finally passed out! Couldn't resist these sleepy photos...A-DORABLE!

Congratulations Marisa & Leif! Thank you for letting me capture these first photos of Canon!  xoxo

The past few months have flown by! I'm so grateful and blessed to have amazing clients that have kept this holiday season so fun and busy...I love my job. But before I catch you up some of my November and December sessions, let's go back to October so you can meet Landon.  He was still in his mom's belly when my most embarassing moment happened. :)

Quinn and Sage love their little brother so much...

Classic Quinn and Sage...love them!! :)

Megs and Chris - a thousand times Thank You for your wonderful friendship and love! You are my San Diego family and I'm truly blessed to document your love and little ones through the years.  Love you!
