Oh goodness! I almost NEVER do this…but, I am indeed posting twice in one day! Wowza!

This was SUCH a fun session…this girl was charming…sweet…funny…silly…a little bit goofy…adorable…and beautiful…a lovely mish-mosh of fun! We had a great time. It’s always a GOOD sign when I show up for a session and my client has a rolling suitcase filled with super fun clothes, accessories, and for goodness sake…even BUBBLES! That’s what a senior session is all about! Super fun variety! I had such a great time with you “S”! Thanks for the laughs and for being such a great sport when we got “kicked off campus”…that was fun interesting…

Here is the lovely Miss “S”…

 

and…since I did post twice in one day…if you didn’t have a chance to see the gorgeous baby girl in the previous post…keep reading!

Have a GREAT weekend!

This little angel was soooo good to me. She wasn’t terribly interested in sleeping, but she was oh-so-happy while she was awake. Just a beautiful, sweet, precious little newborn…and her parents obviously ADORE her. I love doing newborn sessions and getting to witness parent’s brand new joy over their sweet little ones. Since newborn sessions are usually done within the first 10 days of life…the awe and wonder over their arrival is still so fresh and the parents are still swooning with newfound love. I feel so blessed to be a part of this special time! Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE my job? Meet Miss “B”…one of the most beautiful little girls I’ve ever seen…

 

Just look at that precious little grin! I could photograph babies all day long….

Aren’t little boys just FUN? DREAMY…SWEET…MONKEYS? This little guy wasn’t too sure about me at first…but, I didn’t mind…I love the solemn looking stares I get at the beginning of sessions with “unsure” little ones. They’re so serious…taking it all in…and it’s usually in the beginning of a session when I can get shots like this…before they warm up to me and start having a bunch of fun.

He was a sweet little guy…

I love this next image…because it was dad’s idea…I love it when my clients tell me their ideas for shots…it makes their images so personal.

and here’s a few more…

 

and that’s it for now…”L” family, your gallery will be ready in a couple of days!

For the rest of you all…I’ve been soooo busy the past couple of weeks! Coming up in the next few days…a sneak peek of a newborn session, some more cute little ones, a fun family photo session, a beautiful girl from tonight’s senior photo session, and some super fun road trip pics…really…super…fun! Check back soon – or better yet – subscribe to email updates at the link at the top of the page!

‘Til Next Time!

I *LOVE* my job. I can’t begin to tell you all how blessed I feel, day after day, to get to photograph the most amazing families…children…babies…in the Phoenix area. I honestly can’t think of any other profession I’d rather claim…than photographer. It’s a joy to go to work…it’s a joy to bring it home with me…it’s a joy to share it with my clients. I am so blessed and so grateful.

AND…every once in a while I get booked for a session that is a little out of the ordinary…and this was one such session. AND…seeing as how every single member of my family is a huge baseball fan…this was so much fun for me! (You would have thought I was photographing the president had you seen how excited my boys were), but nope…not the president…just one Mr. Eric Chavez of the Oakland A’s and his beautiful family. Lucky girl…me.

It was their beautiful little girl’s 6 month session, but we snuck in some shots with the whole family too…and lots of shots with his gorgeous wife Alex and the kids. I have a soft spot for mom/child shots because it’s so rare to see “mom” in the front of the camera.

So…here you are Chavez family…enjoy your sneak peek…

Thanks guys! I had tons of fun hanging out with your family!

‘Till Next Time,

I love maternity sessions…there is something so wonderful about photographing a belly…all because there is a tiny little person growing inside of it.

I was so excited when Erika emailed to schedule her maternity session! I was genuinely thrilled for her to find out that she was pregnant! I had the pleasure of doing her family photos last year…the whole family…mom & dad, her sister, even the dogs! I had so much fun with them last year. I love doing sessions for repeat clients because I love getting to know the families that I photograph. It’s so much fun to see families change…children grow…babies be born…

I normally don’t post such a big sneak peek, but I couldn’t help myself…isn’t she just beautiful?!?!?

 

 

 

I love the next image…*LOVE* it…

 

 

and on this last one I just had to do some funky processing because it just seemed like a funky processing kind of image…

 

Thanks guys! I had so much fun with you all…treasure the last few weeks…they will fly!

AND…to the rest of you all…a couple of things real quick:

• I have ONE weekend date left in the valley for holiday photos…you can check the calendar on my main site for current availability.

• I will be in the Pinetop Lakeside area the weekend of September 26th…and will be available for 2 sessions up north…so if you’ll be in the area and would like your holiday photos to be up in the beautiful pines…this is your chance!

• I know that I promised to introduce you to the newest member of our family yesterday…but, it’ll have to wait a couple more days because I’m still working on getting pics.

• Mini-session times are nearly filled…so if you are wanting to book a holiday mini-session, don’t wait!

• AND…lastly…not sure if I’ve mentioned it before, but did you know that you can subscribe to this blog and be notified by email every time it’s updated?  It’s simple to do…just click on subscribe in the menu bar and enter your email address. It’s that easy!

‘Till Next Time!
