can I just say for the record that I L.O.V.E. my job?!  I would never have met these amazing, super cool people if it were not for photography.  and I am so thankful for it!

marissa + michael are down-to-earth, appreciative of art and incredible parents.  spending the morning with these two still makes me smile + I am genuinely glad that I've met them.  and the product of their coolness is evident in their sweet son, zade.  wait, his name is zade?  I know, right?  a super cool original name that has the ability to be manly at the same time be cute and boyish.  perfect!  he was perfectly smiley + good natured...a photographers dream in meeting a three month old!  I still believe he actually posed for a couple of the shots. :)  and I simply couldn't get over his blue, blue eyes and dimple...adorable! 

definitly a fun, memorable shoot for me...thanks michael + marissa! :)

love his loooooong lashes!
