Phoenix Child Photographer| Aubri is 1!!

Sweet little Aubri Rose is turning 1! I can’t believe it was just a year ago when I met her and her family! She is growing leaps and bounds and is even walking! I love seeing how much the kids grow and I am so honored that I got to be apart of her first year of life. What’s even more exciting is that she is getting a little brother very soon too :)

Aubri was pretty serious during our session.. but every now and then she would crack a little smile for us :) Here are a few favorites from our morning together:

My Kids are crazy….

but I wouldn’t change them for the world! Ellie is so silly.. she is really starting to get a sense of humor and does everything she can to make Reagan giggle. Reagan, she loves it… she wants to be a big girl so bad… she follows Ellie everywhere and just lightens up when she sees her. Reagan turned 10 months yesterday and I know I sound like a broke record.. but really, I have NO idea where time is going. I swear I feel like I just had Ellie a few months ago… not 5 years ago. Hard to believe she is going to be starting Kindergarten in just a couple of weeks! So here are my 2 girls, in all of their silliness and cuteness (just a little biased)…
A little dinner theater…..

and one of both of them…

Glendale Children Photographer| Haley is 2!!!

This is Haley and she is adorable.. and according to her mother a little sassy also! I guess that’s to be expected when you turn 2!! Little Haley was great to photograph, she loved the jelly beans I gave her, and held onto them for dear life! Her brother was a great little assistant and even popped into a photo too! Here are a few from our afternoon…








On a different note, things have been pretty uneventful! I can’t believe that we are half way through July already! Reagan is sassy as ever and Ellie is enjoying her time off.. she is my little fish and would do anything to get herself in a pool! Thank goodness for great neighbors and friends who have pools!!!

Glendale Family Photographer| The {C} Family

I used to work with Julianne years ago… seriously, like 10-11 years ago, when we worked in Cartwright School District. I know I’ve said this many times, but it’s amazing how time flies. When I figured it had been over 10 years ago, I had to recheck my math.. no way has it been that long.. but it has. Thank goodness for Facebook, because I have been reconnected with so many good friends! Anway, Julianne came into town from Glendale and asked if I would take photos of her boys.. I was honored! And I’m so glad I did.. her boys are darling!! {J} is so sweet and {R} has a ton of energy! We met in the heat of the morning and they were all troopers! Here are a few from our day…

and look at this love…..

Thanks so much for a great morning Julianne! It was great catching up!!!

Scottsdale Family Photographer| The {L} Family

Like I have said many times before I love photographing my repeat clients! I love to see how much they have grown and it’s always great just to catch up! Really, it’s so amazing what can happen in just a couple of short years! This is the {L} family, and you might recognize them from my blog. Little Jace is now 2 and I have been capturing him on my camera since he was born!! We headed out to the Scottsdale Civic Center Park in the bright morning light and captured some great shots! That is such a pretty area.. I would love to explore it even more and get into some of the back alleyways too :) Anyway, here are a few shots from our day…

and this next one is so cute….. Jace was doing a little dance for everyone :)

Thank you Sherri and Jeff for letting me capture your family again!

Phoenix Wedding Photographer| Erika & Damon are Engaged!!

On Sunday I headed out to Papago Park with Erika and Damon to shoot their engagement photos! We have been friends for a while now and I was honored when they asked me to be their wedding photographer! We had such a great time and Papago park was awesome!! It’s amazing how you can live in Phoenix and forget about all of the cool spots that are around us! The cool red rocks made for a great backdrop.. not too mention the cool grassy areas too! We had a great time and I’m excited to show everyone some of my favorites! They were troopers, and even let me play around a bit to get some great silhouette photos too!! Oh and if you ever want to take photos at Papago park.. don’t wear flip flops :)
Here is my new favorite photo:


Thanks Erika and Damon for a great afternoon and dinner! I can’t wait until the wedding in November!

Glendale Family Photographer| The {W} Family

I love taking photos in Glendale! First it’s so close to my home, and second there are some great spots! Saguaro Ranch Park (the website doesn’t do it justice) is probably the most popular place to shoot at in Glendale. I love the textures, the backgrounds and just the overall feel of the place. It’s great for families, high school seniors and even babies! And to prove it.. here are some great baby & family shots that I recently took of the {W} family. You may recognize them from past sessions. (**warning! I am not responsible for the baby fever you may feel after seeing these photos!**)





Aubri is getting so big and she is just the cutest little thing! She makes Reagan look like a giant!
On the home front, we are all feeling much better. Not only was I sick, but both Reagan and Ellie had it too. I’m not sure how Jeff missed out on the fun, but he did. It’s a bummer being sick, but at least we got over it quick and just in time for Spring Break! Spring Break was good.. very relaxing and I got a TON of stuff done around the house. My poor house was in serious need of some attention and it finally got it from me. I sorted through the girls clothes, and deep cleaned the entire house. It’s funny how you feel all out of order when your house is a mess. But all is good now!

I had the honor of photographing my good friend’s new little grandson.. and I have to tell you, that my camera loved him! He was so sweet and just cooperated so well!
