I’m totally biased, but I think my little niece is just a sweet slice of cute pie. I can’t get enough of her smile and those twinkling eyes! She’s already taking after her Dad, Dan Ponce, hamming it up and even stroking the piano keys. Love her so much!!
Recently I visited my friend, Jessica, for a few days to celebrate her pending motherhood. I’ve never seen Jess look more beautiful, so I, of course, wanted to snap some pictures to document this rare and special time in her life. In the early morning hours, as the sun crept above the California Cyprus trees, she and I took the Cleveland Cascade stairs down to Lake Merritt in the heart of Oakland. As the dew still clung to the grass and goslings followed their mothers across the still water, Jess meditated on her baby’s arrival. She graciously allowed me to capture the moment. We shared smiles and a few tears.
Jess has such a beautiful, sweet connection to the child already. I’m counting down the days till the little one (they’ve chosen to let the gender be a surprise) arrives.

I can’t get over these adorable faces and Violet’s big, grey eyes! What a beautiful little girl.

My sister is the proud mother of her first child, Reed Curtis Thompson, my darling nephew. My trip back to Nebraska couldn’t come soon enough after the little guy was born. I’m so glad I could hop on a flight and get some real quality time with Katie, Ty, and Reed before heading to South America (pictures to come in the next few days) a few short days later. Love you guys!
