Veterans Oasis Park: Patton Family

I love this mama and I am so happy she has come into my life when I needed her most.  I love that each of my friends have seemed to be placed in my life for different things that I have needed in life and I am happy to have her as part of my tribe.  I think we had so much fun during this session, the girls did so well as Rachael and I talked we decided this year went way better then last year but the girls know me better this year then last and I think that helps a lot.  Anyways here are some of my favorites from their session.

Veterans Oasis Park: Farmer Family Session

First off I want to talk about Lucy this girl came ready for her pictures.  I said Lucy you want me to start you and she looked at me with this pose.farmer_family_blog (1 of 17)

I mean if this doesn’t make you smile then I don’t know what will.  Nathaniel wasn’t so bad either.  The whole family came ready.   It always makes me so happy to hang out with my friends and this was no different.  Meredith and her family moved here from Florida not to long after my family moved here from Florida.  Here are a few of my favorites from their session.  I love the beautiful fall leaves we were able to find.

The Riparian Preserve: Grandparents Session

How special is it to get the grandparents in the frame.  I jump all over an opportunity to capture grandparents with their grandkids.  This time was no different Nicole contacted me to capture her parents with the kids before her dad has to return to Canada after visiting his newest grand-daughter.  I always love hanging with Charlie, Jack, and the newest member Ella.  Everyone did a wonderful job, you have to be fast when it comes to toddlers they don’t sit still long but Jack did an awesome job.  Here are a few of my favorites from their grandparents session.

Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch:The Miller Boys

I had so much fun with Missy’s boys Talon and River.  These cowboys came ready to find a horse well at least River did.  So we went on a horse finding adventure.  I always want moms to remember that your kids don’t have to be perfectly behaved because I promise I will figure out what will get them to get the pictures mama is hoping for.  Take River for instant he wanted to race perfect we did something then he got to race and he loved it!!!  Enjoy some of my favorites.

Apache Junction: Meek Newborn Twins

I was very excited and nervous at the same time as the Meek Twins were my very first set of twins.  Lyncoln and Lyla were so cute but definitely a different challenge.  They kept mom and I laughing though as we would get one calmed down and the other would get upset but in the end I think we were able to get some pictures that mom and dad can look back on and enjoy.  We were also able to do a film for this session and I am so excited that I am able to offer these to my newborn and fresh48 clients.  Here are some of my favorites plus her film.

 

Veteran’s Oasis Park: Keegan Family

I had so much fun with the Keegan Family.  Neely is a very energetic 4 year old and Camryn seems to be just a go with the flow baby and both times I did pictures of her she was just a smiley sweet little one.  This family was so sweet and I am so happy I was able to do a pumpkin patch session and family Session for them.  Here are my favorites from both sessions.

Shea Wash, Scottsdale: Rathbun Family Session

Last year I got together with Cassie and her family and man how much have her kids changed over the year.  Bryson was so sweet he absolutely being in front of the camera.  I had so much fun Avery was a little shy but as soon as we started exploring she was so happy.  This family is such a sweet family, and I absolutely loved this location.  Sometimes you see pictures and you see the dreamy location only to find out it is a wash off of a busy street.  I want to go back!

Fresh48: Meet Baby Ronin

 

I was beyond excited for my friend Julia and her husband Lee when they announced that they were expecting a little boy!  I wasn’t in town when they had their little girl Kennedy so it is fun to be in town for Ronin.  I was extra excited and honored when she asked if I would do a fresh 48 for her little family.  Ronin is just the cutest thing in the world and he has 3 of the best big sisters.  One of which was at the hospital too meet him.  Kennedy is just the cutest and already such a great big sister.  She is planning on teaching him all the fun things!  Here are a few of my favorite from their session plus a little film that I put together for them!

 

Veterans Oasis: Porter Family Mini

I got to meet Marie through another mom friend and we became fast friends.  She is the sweetest mom raising two very awesome human beings!  Hudson and Gemma are two of the cutests kids.  We did valentine’s day pictures back in February and Gemma didn’t want anything to do with me or my camera and this time we were able to capture her super cuteness.  And we ended the night checking on the ducks in the water!

Chandler: Cousins Are The Best!

How fun is it when you can sit down and do a session with your cousins especially when the cousins range from 3 months to 5 years old. This was a fun little challenge for me but it reminded me a lot of my family. When ever we get together we try to do a grandkids sessions and the last time that had 10 kids ranging in age of 9 months to 12 years.

Baby V and Luke are so lucky to be so close in age and so close together and then the girl are all so close in age also. It is fun that they all live so close together and get to grow up together.
