Just a little bit of magic!

It's typically a struggle to find quotes, sayings or things to say about a session. But tonight was different I could talk forever about how this sweet little girl knew exactly who her sister is. Sitting in mom and dads lap she reached over to look at her beautiful sister in the photo frame. Her sweet smile melted my absolute heart. I could say so much more but this session left me completely breathless. There are no words to describe how precious this session was to me and how near and dear to my heart this is. It's a session that changed my life forever! Thank you so much for letting me capture this moment in time for you!

Hello There! It has been so incredibly long since I have posted to my business page! So many new and exciting things have been going on! To start I would love to introduce you to the newest addition to the Beardsley ohana little Miss Isabella <3 She was born mid-June and is so incredibly perfect in every way! In other news we have relocated to sunny California! We are happy to call southern California home! We will miss Hawaii with every fiber of our being but we are so excited for this new adventure! Thank you all for all of your support and I can't wait to continue my photography journey here in California! Photo Credit: Shelley Barrett - Pensacola, Florida

We celebrated this beautiful girls first birthday today! She even had her own cake smash! I can't wait to show you her gorgeous cake smash in a follow up sneak peek tomorrow! Isn't she the cutest! She's the absolute sweetest too! She made my heart melt into a big puddle of mush! Her mommas the best too! I love when pet parents are so dedicated to their fur babies! This dynamic duo has my whole heart!

Hawaii you have been so good to us. My business grew and blossomed here and this beautiful place taught me so much about love and life. I feel like I truly found myself here. For those that don’t know we are PCSing to the mainland. We will be back in about 18 months but for now it’s goodbye. I would love for you to stay an active part of the page because when I come back I have so much planned. And I will be hopping back over to Hawaii every few months during this 18 month s...pan so I will have plenty of time for sessions even though I’ll live off island To my Hawaii families thank you from the bottom of my heart for every you have done for me. It has been a beautiful journey and I have loved getting to know each and every one of you. Your families have become my families and I am so fortunate to capture your families as they have grown and hit so many milestones. I wish you all the best and will keep you in my heart forever! A hui hou Hawaii. Aloha Florida & San Diego I’m coming for ya PC: Chelsie Thompson with Chelsie Thompson Photography - 2017

Can we hear it for the incredible and strong mommas out there? This momma was in the military herself, is married to a soldier and is the momma to a college student and another soldier. This momma is one of the most patient, understanding and humble people that I know. Women like her I look up to and in motherhood when I am at my weakest and don't know how to keep going it is women like her that I will look to. To all of the amazing moms out there thank you for being a lighthouse and for guiding the way <3

Oh sweet girl... You don’t know it yet but the strength that you show is enough to inspire me as an adult. You’re the only girl on your team of boys but you have no idea what that even means. Your innocence shields that from you. I wish nothing more than when years pass and you are a grown woman that you are still leading the team with the grace and dignity that you show today. That you won’t think twice about being the only girl in a team of boys and that you will inspire a...nd encourage other little girls to join your team whatever that team may be in the future. You little one are one of my heroes. Never ever lose sight of how strong and powerful and beautiful that you are. You are a lion cub bound to be a lioness one day! I’m so fortunate to be a friend of your family and to be able to watch you grow into the strong and capable young woman that you’re bound to be.

This image that I captured in Georgia may quite possibly be my favorite image that I have ever captured. Grandma is holding little baby in awe and admiration while their pooch looks over at baby so lovingly and gently. This will be a gallery that I will have to share the full gallery for in just a few days! It was and always will be so incredibly special to my heart!
