In 2010, our perfect *”Baby Gavin” returned to Heaven after losing a courageous battle with **Pertussis (whooping cough). We are eternally and profoundly grateful to the thousands upon thousands (upon thousands) of friends and strangers from all over the world, of all faiths and creeds, who united with our family in prayer during Baby Gavin’s horrific illness and who grieved with us and continued to petition God in our behalf during the dark days following his tragic death. You may read Gavin’s story as it unfolded by visiting my old blog here. I am committed to sharing my ongoing struggles with grief and our journey toward joy here on the new blog. I am always humbled and amazed by the continued outpouring of love and support. Thank you for sharing in our journey and inspiring us with your unceasing love! God is good!
*My brother Gavin passed away unexpectedly in 2007. With all these Angel Gavins, it can get a little confusing at times, so just know that when I refer to “Gavin” I’m referring to my wonderful brother. When I refer to “Baby Gavin,” it is in reference to my perfect son, both of whom I cannot wait to see in Heaven!

Remember Jane and her awesome husband, Conor?! Well, now they’ve got a little Henry bun in the oven! I.CANNOT.WAIT to meet him! It was SO WONDERFUL to be back in Hawaii to shoot them at this exciting, joyful time of their lives! Love you J + C. Baby Henry, hurry the heck up!
Enjoy!
PS. It totally hurt my heart to go through these images. Homesick to the power of a zillion. Oh Hawaii, why can’t you be less perfect so my heart can heal?
This is my beautiful sister, Stephanie, and my perfect niece, Ireland. Yes, I have two half-sisters from my Dad’s first marriage who I have been getting to know over the past few years. They are such.beautiful.gifts in my life. More wonderful blessings to be grateful for.
xo, N
PS. NO, Stephanie is not naked. I know you’re wondering. ;) They’d just gotten out of the pool; she’s in her swimming suit. ;)
I first met sweet Courtney at The Breathe Intensive in Las Vegas last February. The first thing I noticed was her overwhelming smile and her bright, bright eyes. . . so full of kindness and love. She is a beautiful woman, a brilliant designer and a completely exceptional mother. I feel honored to know her. Truly.
It was AMAZING to get to know her LOVELY little family during our session together in California. They are crazy about each other, and it shows. I’ve enjoyed working on these images so.so.much! I can just FEEL their love jumping off the screen. Ahh! Love these images. Love this family. LOVE. Enjoy! xo! N
Remember this darling family? I know, how could you forget, right?! They were just as beautiful and charming as ever when I showed up (bright and early) to shoot their BEAUTIFUL new addition. Oh! He did my soul good. How could he not? Straight from the stork. . . he still smelled of Heaven itself. Enjoy!
This next one is DEFINITELY my favorite daddy + baby image of all time. No contest.
This is the beautiful Norton family (nope, no relation). They are spectacular in every way. It’s beautiful the way they love, laugh, play together. I left this session very much inspired to give more love, laughter and play to my own beautiful little Norton clan. :) Enjoy!
