Paradise, CA Family Photographer: This aMaesing Life
Some families have a way of radiating warmth, love, and joy that makes photographing them a truly delightful experience. Shastina, Nick, and their sweet daughter Noelle are undoubtedly one of those families. It was a privilege to capture moments of their journey together, showcasing the bond they share and the light they bring to each other’s lives.
Shastina is the heart of this family, her kindness and calm demeanor shining through in every frame. Nick, with his steady and supportive presence, complements her perfectly, creating a partnership that’s both inspiring and a joy to witness. Together, they’ve built a home filled with love, laughter, and the little adventures that come with raising a young child.
Noelle is their bright spark—a bundle of sweetness and curiosity. She was an absolute joy to photograph, with her big smiles and contagious energy lighting up the session. It’s evident that her parents cherish every moment with her, and she, in turn, thrives in the environment of love and encouragement they’ve created.
This session felt even more special knowing the significance behind their nickname for their life together, "aMaesing life." It’s a clever nod to their last name, but it also perfectly encapsulates the way they approach life—with gratitude, connection, and a playful sense of humor. Capturing that energy in these images was a wonderful challenge, and I’m so proud of the results.
I’m endlessly thankful that Shastina and Nick chose me to document this chapter of their story. It’s families like theirs that remind me why I love what I do—freezing moments in time for them to treasure forever.
