Sicinski Family {St. Patrick's County Park} South Bend, Indiana

"Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind." - Lilo & Stitch

The saying is true: "They grow up so fast." And you don't really realize that sentiment until it actually happens! That's why family time is so very special to us. And we are SUPER grateful we get to share moments with families like the Sicinski's.

I met Lee, Ashley and Ellie last year. They had just moved to the area from Chicago, and they were expecting their little guy, Leo. Ashley and I soon became fast friends and honestly, is one of the nicest, kindest people I've ever met! And it's been such an honor to capture some wonderful moments for them as their sweet family has grown!

Our most recent session was at the always beautiful St. Patrick's County Park in South Bend. And the cuteness was on overload! Ellie and Leo were all smiles!

We even got to celebrate a little ... as Ellie was just days away from turning 3! With her adorable dress and wonderful pink balloon, she absolutely stole my heart with her adorableness! :-)

This family. :-) ... incredibly kind, and incredibly photogenic!! And not only has it been a joy to capture some memories for them this past year, but I'm so thankful for new friends!!
