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!
Let’s just talk about this Fresh 48 session. Nicole allowed me to come in after Baby Ella came out of the NICU. Nicole was my lucky mom who was the first to receive a film with her Fresh 48 session and let me tell you we have all melted over the film of baby Ella with her little cries and her sweet little noises that they make. Baby Ella was a few weeks early but she was a sweet 6lbs 8ozs with a head full of hair. I am always jealous of those sweet babies that come out with a head full of hair.
Here is a short film from her session along with some of my favorite images from her session!
So I have been keeping a secret a kind of big secret. My sister was pregnant with her 5th little cutie. What makes her story a special one that she is doing this while her husband is on the other side of the world serving our country. Some might call her crazy I may have a couple of times but she is also a superhero. All military spouses are superheros. They may not be the ones fighting in the wars but they are serving our country right here by holding down the fort taking care of the family making sure that everything goes on while their other half is not there. Christina is doing all this while growing my 12th Niece. That is right I have 6 nephews and now I have 6 nieces. She did a road trip this summer with my parents and came out to visit my family and while they were out here we did a quick session down by the river. Here are a few of my favorites from the session! We also did some pictures for my niece Paige’s 8th birthday!
I was so excited when Cassie got a hold of me and wanted to do a session with just her and Bryan. Couple’s alone usually are not my thing but I am starting to find that I love doing these sessions. We as couples the longer we are married and the more children we add to our brew we need to remember where it all started. Just 2 humans who fell in love and decided to dedicate their lives to each other. I had so much fun walking around the arts district of Downtown Phoenix. This area is a spot that has really been built up over the last 6 years because I don’t remember any of it when I was working downtown. I have now fallen in love with this area. It screams couples and seniors and I am excited to see what it will be like when I take families down there. There is just so many ways to capture an urban feel! Here are just some of my favorites from their session and well there are a lot it was hard to narrow it down! Enjoy!
I was so excited that we could fit in this session with Kati and Todd. Todd was such a good sport. I had asked Kati if they would mind letting me shoot them so I could work out some things and they were perfect. They were the definition of relaxed. They let me work through what would work and what would not and I loved it and I fell in love with all of their pictures so this will probably be an over share but I just can’t help it.
It was so fun getting to head home for a couple of weeks and what made it even better was getting to catch up with friends whom I haven’t seen in a really long time. I can’t believe how grown Jacob has gotten. His mom was talking about how he got to go to space camp for a week how cool is that. Then there is Oscar he is what I call a superhero. He has been through a lot in his short little life and seems to be such a happy little boy. I can not forget about their mom and dad. We worked together many moons ago and it is so fun to see what they are up to now. Joe is teaching at Forest Park and Kayla is now teaching at Wesleyan Kentucky University. Here are some fun pictures from a new location in Jasper called Parkland!
It was so fun hanging with Kelsey, Strat, and Percy! Percy just turned one so to celebrate we did pictures. We got to hang out in nature in the middle of the city. There is this cool place in downtown Phoenix called Rio Salado Habitat Restoration and the Strat thought it was cool because we found some butterflies. It was so fun to get Kelsey in on the photo taking fun too! I am loving watching these boys grow up they are both the best little guys!
It was so incredibly nice getting to know Samantha as we did her senior session. Samantha was a 2019 senior at Desert Ridge High School where she was part of Student council, the math club, and do community service. She loves country music which came in handy during our session. Did you know listening to music helps loosen you up and makes you not so stiff during your session. Samantha was so willing to do what I asked of her and at the very end of the session we were rewarded with some pretty wild horses going through behind us! She had so many great images I couldn’t narrow them down.
2019 is going to be great year I just know it. And to kick off 2019 I held a morning of Valentine’s Day Minis and I had some of the cutest kiddos come out for it! I had 4 families participate and I think we had a lot of fun. For a few it was their first Valentine’s Day.
Meet the Haldiman family they are super sweet. Kelsey’s and I have know each other for a few years. Her family like mine has moved around a bit. But they have made it back to Arizona where they have family. I was so excited when she messaged me and wanted to do family pictures. I was finally able to meet her 2 boys who might I say are the cutest little boys around. Here are some more pictures from their mini fall session.
