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.

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: 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.

The Hays Family

I had so much fun with the Hay’s family.  They were my very last family in Florida.  Madison is just the cutest and reminds me of my own daughter spunky.  And Austin is seems a bit shy but full of a lot of energy.  We had such a great time at Lake Runnymede Conservation area.  That had to be by far my favorite place to shoot in Florida. I love the moss hanging from the trees!

Julie’s Christmas Mini

Julie’s mama asked if I could capture just one picture for her Christmas Cards.  The problem is we had a few for her to pick from and by a few I mean like 15 (I like to make this difficult for her mama I mean what are friends for).  I have taken pictures of Julie a few times over the year and a half I have known her and her mama and I noticed that as she has warmed up to me the pictures have gotten easier.  Julie is a mover and she is quick but I love showing her mom that it is OK we can still capture some awesome photos.

The Magill Bunch

It is always so much fun when I get together with my sister and I love when she asks me to update their family pictures.  The kids are getting way to big but they sure are cute.  We had so much fun going over to the park by my parents house to capture some family pictures.  They are a pretty easy group to work with full of a bunch of cheezers.  They are always so much fun which comes out in all of their pictures so enjoy!!

The Burish Clan

So I am back to blogging now that we are through the busy season and I have made it through the move from Florida to Arizona so I will be spending the next couple of weeks catching up on Blogs.  First up the Burish Clan.

This clan is one of my favorites and this session was just so much fun.  Katie asked me if I could meet them at the park and also grab some pictures from the t-ball game 2 of the kids were playing in.  This just made my day because I love a good documentary/lifestyle session and that is what this turned out to be!  The last time we did pictures the kiddos were like who are you I am not sure I will smile or sit still for you.  Well it was still super hard to get one solid picture of all four kiddos but they were Definitely not shy this time.
