Boys, Boys, Boys!

This beautiful mama is about to be seriously outnumbered by her boys... again:) Meet the biggest bro, who was very handsome, not to mention such a great listener! I can tell already he will make a GREAT brother ... again!


And here is little big bro, who decided to get in on the action. He is still thinking about the whole brother idea and listening thing, but with those devilishly good looks we'll let him off the hook this time.


See, look at that little dude - So dang cute!



And the mama of course, looking as radiant and beautiful as ever!


I can't wait to meet your newest little dude next week, yeah... next week! Get ready for some new bellies and babies folks... It must be spring time.

Graduation is coming! Whooo Hoooo!

This lovely senior was a blast to shoot! Not to mention her adorable little pooch. This is only part 1 or her session and I couldn't be more excited to meet up with her again for part 2.

Baby "T" makes her debut.

Allow me to give a warm welcome to little baby "T"... well I suppose she's isn't so little anymore, at nearly 6 weeks she has grown some beautiful chub:) Which, by the way is one of my favorite baby traits!

















And we can't forget about her beautiful new big sis "C" you may recognize her from HERE!!
She is just the sweetest thing ever, she greeted me with a hug and gave me tons of hugs all throughout our session - I just love you to pieces "C"









You have the most precious girls "H" family! Thanks for letting me share in the celebration of your new addition.

remember this little guy?

These were taken about 6 months ago and this little guy made my heart melt into a little puddle!




Now here is was today at 6 months old!


Couldn't ya just die? Sorry for just posting one mama, but I knew you would be on the edge of your seat until I got something posted:) More to come soon...

Happy second birthday!

Yeah birthday girl! It is always sooooo fun to catch up with clients that I have worked with in the past. This little doll was one of my first clients a couple years ago and though her daddy might have blocked this little tidbit out, he was one of my first potty victims-LOL! Sorry dads, it's just inevitable. Anyway, she may look familiar to some of you, one of my all time favorite baby images is one of hers and it's still on the splash page of my website. Here she is at about 4 weeks:



And look how stinkin' adorable she is now!





Her little expressions were priceless and I'm soooo glad that I caught this one.










And I just loved the last few so much that I took my little stinker out to that very spot with that same little hat for some fun of our own:) I just couldn't help myself!

Happy birthday "L" Hope it was the BEST!

The newest "A" boy

Allow me to introduce baby boy "M", the 4th baby for the "A" family and the 3rd consecutive boy! And let me tell you these are some handsome boys:) Of course big sis is absolutely gorgeous also, but today is all about baby "M" who stole the show...

I just love his baby faux hawk.









I am always trying to catch the yawn, it's GOT to be my favorite little baby face EVER! Here it is:)



Can't forget about those precious tootsies - Love em!


Congrats "A" family, it was so great to meet you your newest little man and get a peek at a day in the life your beautiful family.

Why I love twins...

...these two just make me laugh. We had a blast with this session! Mom and Dad might disagree, but the kids and I were on cloud 9. Their expressions alone could be worthy of an entire post, but I will add a bit of everything. Deep down I've always wished for twins, but then my sanity says "NOOOOOO" - But these guys make it hard not to to wish for two.













Thanks "A" fam!

A big sister is born

This is a subject that is very near and dear to my heart right now. Some of you may know, but to those of you that don't... My family is expecting a new baby this summer! Yup, number 3 for us - Weeeeeeee! We are super excited and my little "H" is practically coming out of her skin at the thought of being a big sister again. At 4 1/2 now she is well aware of what is going on and she is just beside herself with excitement:) She wants to know EVERYTHING! She asks constantly what is the baby doing? Tell me about your baby? Is your baby growing? It is such a huge difference to see her reaction to my son's pregnacy when she was 2 vs. now that she is 4+.

Anyway, back to my post... This session was shot a couple months ago when this little sweetheart was patiently awaiting the birth of her new little sister. Big sis "C" was born prematurely at around 26 weeks and just over 1 lb. She perserviered through many months in the hospital as her tiny body worked to catch up to her inner strength. She is an amazing little girl with two amazing parents and now at 3 she is doing remarkably well. I had so much fun with this shoot and with mom making to her 3rd trimester, it needed to be documented to celebrate their second journey in pregnancy. Little sis "T" has since been born and I will be going to meet her for her very first photo session very soon (be on the lookout). But first, I wanted to celebrate big sisters excitement. Here are a few from our session:









Congratulations on the birth of your second little angel and I can't wait to meet her and give big sis a big hug!

Beautiful Gilbert Girls!

I just love these girls, I have known them for years and I especially love that there is a new girl in the family to photograph. Here are a few that were taken over 4 years ago when photography was just an experimental past time for me:) I still love these two shots and am so glad that this family has trusted me with their photography for so long! Thanks "C" family.





Now fast forward 4+ years to see what beautiful young women they have become, not to mention their gorgeous little sister.

Holiday Surprise!

What an amazing Christmas miracle, this little sweetheart was born a full 4 weeks early and came home healthy as ever! She must have just been so darn excited to spend her first Christmas with everyone. Who wants to be cooped up in a belly, when you could be joining in all the festivities on the outside? Anyway little "A" was cute as a button and so ready for her session, that she hardly slept a wink:) We were able to get some of my favorites EVER though and here she is in her photo debut - Little miss "A"







Look at those proud parents! Congratulations you two, she is an absolute angel.

Winter baby!

Now this is more like it, it's November and the holiday season is officially here... FINALLY! And this little gal is a gorgeous model with a beautiful smile just her mama. She has grown so fast, I can't believe she is almost 4 months old already! I met her when she was only 10 days old and it seems like last week! You might recognize her from HERE.



Alright... it's November and all, but in Arizona it's hardly winter. We are outside in this photo at about 10am and baby "S" is in her birthday suit. Only in AZ can you pull that off without a serious case of the chills. But we had such a great time pretending:) Sorry for the teaser "A" family, but I had to show off just one since I've been MIA from my poor neglected blog lately.

Happy Sunday:)

The sweetest preemie EVER!

Allow me to introduce sweet baby "M". At 8 weeks old she is hardly a newborn anymore, but let's give her a break, coming home at under 4 pounds she had to plump up for her big photo debut:) you'd never know it by looking at her now that she was born nearly 6 weeks early, she is absolutely beautiful and thriving.


I love how babies are always comforted by the arms of their mothers. We even got a little smile out of her.


There are definitely advantages to taking newborn photos within the first few weeks, their willingness to sleep, sleep, sleep, their tiny pliable bodies that love to be curled into a little ball, capturing the utter newness of ever wrinkle and expression. But in our case, baby "M" was an excellent subject and too gorgeous for words, and the best part was that at a mature 8 weeks old she was showing off her precious little smile that most newbies save for those later weeks.


Congratulations "W" family, she is just precious!

One more of my favorite model "C"

I can't believe I forgot to post this one with the last batch!



Well... back to my nightly editing ritual:) Good night.

Someone call this girl a talent agency!

Welcome "C" back to the spotlight, she is a regular of mine:) Her mother and I are best friends and I'm so glad, because she has two of the cutest stinkin' kids I've ever seen! Little "C" has definitely been practicing her moves for the camera too might I add. This little pose was all her!



And I have been playing with some new post processing actions that are ALL so fun, but this is one of my new favorites. I am sure I will over use it, but I just can't help it, so I am apologizing in advance:)




This just makes my heart melt into a puddle.




I love you guys!
