This is an extra special shoot for me because not only is Mariah one of my childhood friends, I also had the privilege of shooting her and her husband Scott's engagement photos AND wedding photos. I'm the lucky one. They are like family to me and my children. I feel so lucky to call them my neighbors now too. (Okay, they are five minutes away, but neighbors to me!) Kudos to Scott and Mariah for being great new parents. I'm so proud of them both.

Congrats to Scott and Mariah. Your sweet baby girl is a doll.

Welcome to world Claire. We love you.

p.s. Their dog Briley is used to playing the starring role, so she of course will still play a big part in all our shoots. :)
