This session was years in the making, and let me tell you, it was worth waiting for.

Ilana and I first connected years ago, but life got in the way, delaying our chance to work together - until now. Little Ella turned two this summer, giving us the perfect chance to finally capture some photos of their adorable family while celebrating her birthday at their home. This was also one of their last family gatherings here, as they will be moving to a new home later this year, making this session even more special. It looks like timing wise, everything worked out exactly the way it was supposed to.

Here are a few of my favorite images, from one of my favorite sessions to date.

It was my honor to document this afternoon filled with family, friends, and plenty of love and laughter. Happy 2nd birthday Ella! Your parents set the bar pretty high with this one, but something tells me there are many more special days like this in your future.
