#kodakmoments

A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, & has faith in you even when you fail.

Laughing, enjoying this moment with my dad is the best thing ever.

It's spring, but it feels almost like summer. The air is fresh, the grass not yet green. You're lying with your favorite person in the world on the grass and can't stop smiling. And that all in the best city to live in - Berlin!

I remember trying not to cry, trying not to mess up my make-up. And holding Dad's arm tight. I was so glad he was there walking alongside me. 

a cuddle moment between my son and his son

Daddy finally got to spend time with his little Buddy, 2 years later Daddy passed away 

Sunscreen ✅ Cute, tiny swim trunks ✅ Leo took his first steps on the beach 🏝 and into the water 🌊 ... and hated it lol we’ll see if we can change his mind by the end of the week 😂

We always go to the park for a walk and talk.  Special times with the kids.  Took picture of Dad plafully walking with his princess.

Early Father’s Day gift = new hammock! Taken Memorial Day weekend 2018 in Carmel, Indiana. 

The captain is ready to take the boat out.

Our second ultrasound of our first child. Jennie Lea Alessi is doing a great job growing a healthy human. Good lookin' kid, if you ask me (takes after its mother).

An elderly veteran enjoys taking part in the Falls Church, VA Memorial Day parade in 2007.

Looking up the future, up to my grad!

Her little legs were too tired to walk any further

He is always trying to be like dad. Not a bad guy to be like. Love these two!

You're not a Cali kid unless you ride!

This is part of the golf gang that plays nine holes every Saturday before our families are up and ready to start the weekend.  Always lighthearted with stories created and shared – did anyone think to grab a pencil and score card this week?

He's always looking for opportunity to see how high he can jump. Performing acrobats while waiting for the sun to set. 

First year playing tee ball. Look out! Determined to hit a home run and play with the majors next.

Une promenade en amoureux aux alentours de Cassis dans le sud de la France, et l'amour donnant des ailes, j'ai décidé de faire poser ma compagne au sommet du Cap Canaille surplombant la baie de Cassis.

“Drink a little beer, laugh a little more”

This was taken when I was probaby 2. My Mom was always so lovely to me. She passed away March 2017. She was my heart. She was always there for me, especially when I had Cancer at the age of 6. I found this picture after she passed. I still have this cake plate. And I bake for others to make them feel special. She always made me feel special! Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms!

Capturing moments with my great nephew

Bestest moment with my son Atharva Jethlia...and beautifully captured by my husband..

Every night we read a couple of books to Isaac before bed.  I love this time of day we get to snuggle him! 

A young boy wears a dinosaur mask at a birthday party.

A heartful moment exchanged between the bride and her father during the ceremony in Mykonos, Greece. 

There is beauty in everything and in every moment. Teaching your loved ones how to appreciate the little things in life.

Scenic route taker. That is my travel alias. Just like these guys. I love vacationing with them, especially when the trip involves time to relax and the opportunity to take a long walk and enjoy all of the sights and sounds the area has to offer. Can’t wait to meander down these boards again soon!  

We belong at the beach. 

Easter day with me and my girlfriend Sam, wanderlust soulmates.

Dapper groomsmen with their "old fashioned" toast.

These are the moments of our childhood that create a lifetime of memories❣

I love being able to capture the true essence of children, especially at home. They are so much more comfortable and willing to just be themselves!! I love that!

A birthday party for Mouse 

Rachel and Karl are huge Cubs fans, so it was great to get some fun shots around Wrigley Field!

This here is Delanie, havin fun. Yet she knows she created a Kodak memorable moment. 

Micaiah travels the world giving back and has a heart for international conflict resolution. I’m so glad I was able to capture this photo of her hanging out and laughing. 

Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel of Phantogram performing a live DJ set. 

She was somewhat nervous about the robo monster behind us but she managed to muster up a scared smile :)
