Newborn: Baby Walter

Let’s talk newborns I mean are they just not the sweetest little people around?  I am always super jealous of the ones with a ton of hair though I know what mama had to go through with the heartburn.

Let me introduce you to a little man who has the best head of hair!  His name is Walter and isn’t he just the cutest thing around?  All that hair and his parents are the sweetest.  Dallas works with my husband and back when my husband and I first moved to the valley we rented a house with Dallas boy was that a while ago.  Since then both have married and settled down and have now started families of their own.  Dallas’s sweet wife Robbin has become a friend of mine and so I was so beyond excited when she asked if I would come and take Walter’s Newborn pictures.  We had so much fun.  Thank you Dallas and Robbin and I can’t wait for more snuggle times with baby Walter.

Family Session:| Kirsch family Riparian Reserve at Water Ranch

What a nice night with the Kirsch family.  We had a nice sunset at the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch.  The nice sunset and Kayla’s pretty blue dress helped to make her Sunset hair standout.

I am so happy that I have gotten to know Kayla as a friend and miss Bailey has quickly become one of my kids favorites.  We are going to miss them when they move back to Florida.

Couple’s Session:| Pacheco/Herold Riparian Reserve at Water Ranch session

So normally you see me posting blogs on newborn, family, and kids session but every once in a while I like to change things up.  I was really excited to when Mike came to me and asked for me to do his and Liz’s save-the-date pictures.  We had so much fun we headed out to the Gilbert Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch for a sunset session.  This couple was so much fun we had a good time and we were able to capture some sweet moments between Liz and Mike.  Even though I will not be capturing their wedding I am excited for their special day.  I know it will be a wonderful start to this new chapter in their lives.

Fresh 48:| Baby Kase Just a few hours old

Oh my goodness look at this sweet little man.  I was so happy to be able to head to Banner Desert and capture this little man when he was just 1 day old.  There is just something about a new baby that makes my heart smile.  It was the perfect time when I arrived it was just mom, dad, and baby Kase so we were able to capture sometime with just mom and dad.  Then after a little bit Grandma brought up big brother Asher who as you would assume was already in love with his new little brother.  It was so fun to be able to include grandma in this session as well.

This time in a newborns life is the most precious time in a newborns life and I am so grateful for Jordyn and Drew for letting me come capture this special moment.  Here are just a few more from this extremely sweet session.

Family: Nunez Family Session at Scorpion Gulch

I was so excited to take the Nunez family pictures.  I was contacted by Kim Nunez about capture some pictures of her grand kids.  I was excited because one of her grand kids I had known from when I attended her church 5 years ago.

Jessie and Joey and their children were so much fun.  Ellie was definitely the star of the show, and I could not believe how much Gunner had grown over the years I remember him as this cute little 5 year old and now he is a handsome 9 year-old.  We headed to Scorpion Gulch and it was an excellent back drop for their family session.  There were just so many different places that we could capture their pictures.  Family sessions are always so much fun, working with little ones is my favorite!

Mommy & Me: Pentz Family

I was so excited about my first set of mini sessions living here in Arizona.  So I headed out to Veteran’s Oasis Park with the Pentz family.  I had a little bird tell me that they had not updated family pictures in a little while so I decided to add dad into a some shots and we had a blast.

As soon as I met David, Melina, and Miles I just knew we could be friends.  I had so much and was so happy we turned this into a family mini.  This family was great together and I was so happy they brought their 4 legged family member also.  They will always have these pictures and that warms my heart.

Mommy & Me: Huyett Ladies

I am super lucky to have these ladies in my life.  They entered it 5 years ago when we purchased our first home.  They are our neighbors and good friends.

I was so excited to take the ladies out to capture some pictures for Janel’s mother’s day gift.  We decided to head down to downtown Gilbert.  There was this one hallway that in particular that I wanted to find and it definitely worked for what we wanted!

Newborn: Baby Brianna

I love newborn sessions, but this one was extra special to me.  Andrew and Katie are some dear friends.  They came to visit us in the hospital when we had our oldest, then when they had their oldest we had moved away.  So even though I didn’t get to actually go to the hospital for their second I was able to capture her newborn pictures.

I love newborn lifestyle, it is a more relaxing setting and you don’t have to leave your home.   You also only need to have one or 2 rooms in the home picture ready which takes a little pressure off the new mom.  Especially since one of those rooms is usually the nursery.

Fresh 48: Why you want to do this session!

First off what is a Fresh 48 session you ask?  I get this question a lot.  With this session I come to you Hospital room, Birth Center, or Home with in the first 48 hours of birth.  This is usually done with in the first 12 hours and it is meant to capture the very newest moments in your life and your newborn’s life.  This can be used to help capture the moments when siblings, grandparents, and or Aunts and Uncles meet baby for the very first time.  It is meant to capture the first few hours of your newborn’s life without having your entire Labor and birth captured.

I am happy to announce that starting in August of 2018 I will start offering this service to all my clients.  Because of the fact that I would need to be on call for these type of sessions I will only be taking a limited few of these specific sessions.  I am so very excited about these sessions.  There is just something about the newborn smell and just the everything about those first 24 to 48 hours of a baby’s life that makes me walk away thinking about adding another.
