Even though we don’t get much fall in Arizona, It’s nice to dress up in sweaters and pretend it’s chilly outside. This morning was at least cool enough where this adorable family of three and a half wasn’t sweating in their nice clothes. This handome little man was stoic at first; giving me a run for my money trying to photograph him. But once I took him aside and let him lead me around his yard, he opened up and decided I was worthy of a smile or two. It’s wonderful to watch children slowly go from this:

frightened and shy

To this. relaxed and animated.

As you can see, his parents were no trouble at all and were a blast to hang out with this morning. Enjoy your sneak peek P family!


Sugar, spice and everything nice. That’s what these little girls are made of.

Beautiful beautiful family. They took the AZ summer heat like true Phoenicians even though they’re newcomers here. Here’s a sneak peek for you H family. Enjoy!

Two Little Pixies

February 10, 2011

These two sisters were so much fun to capture. I think the images say enough about their bright and cheerful personalities.

I love this family. They are friends of my husband and mine, and also have a crazy lot in common with us. My husband and Mike are co-workers, love the Cardinals (poor things), play guitar, are both really tall, and look a lot alike. Amber and I are both photographers and have super-cute kids ;-) . They’re super cool not only because we’re like alternate universe twins, but they have awesome style.

So when Amber came to me asking to do a maternity/family/Christmas session with her, I was jumping for joy. It’s so nice to photograph people who not only get what I’m trying to capture, but take it to the next level. I have to admit I’m not the most stylish person out there. It took me a solid week to put together my family’s outfits for our Christmas portrait. But I totally love Amber’s Hip/classic style.  So when they pulled up at the park with a car full of props and outfits to die for I knew this would be a memorable session.

And I was right. One of my favorite sessions ever!
