My girl. My sweet little L. She’s a ray of sunshine no matter the day, we can always count on her for some giggles. She has so many sides to her sweet personality and we’re so grateful to get to watch her grow and change. At four, she loves the color purple, splashing in puddles, My Little Pony, pretend play, reading, mac and cheese and chocolate…that’s my girl!

Here’s L at four in the fog of the early morning. We don’t get a lot of fog in Arizona so when we do, it’s a bit of a magical experience.

For her birthday she wanted a party where “everyone could paint a masterpiece”, in her own words. Perfect party theme for a for year old and her friends, I couldn’t have come up with a better theme even if I tried. Here is a peak into her art-filled day, enjoy!

1 year later!

One year has already passed since this family first let me into their home and trusted me to capture their sweet, sweet newborn girl. She was an angel for me that day and almost a year later, she had SUCH a fun personality! Smiles galore, funny faces and lots of high fives and a few “no’s”. I love a one year old who knows what she likes and wants and this girl sire did! I think I missed blogging her newborn session last year so for a fun comparison, here’s baby E just fresh and new and then 1 year later. Happy first birthday sweet girl!!!

Waiting for Santa, 2011. | Phoenix child photographer

I first took a picture similar to this in 2009 when our daughter was just under 2. This year I decided to attempt it again, as it’s been a favorite of mine for years. With the help of my amazing husband, both kids were sleepily tucked under the tree and…perfection. I’m sure I have on my mommy goggles, but I pretty much love this! As behind as I am on blogging, I just wanted to take time to share this image and remind you all to create your own memories this holiday season, enjoy every moment of it!

I first meet B when she was 6 weeks old and then again when she turned one. Can I just tell you what a personality this gal has? I haven’t laughed quite so hard at a client in a long time. B’s momma calls her a “diva” and I can’t argue…she knows what she wants, she will get it and she will make sure you know all about it! Her facial expressions were priceless, when life settles down someday I want to do a post on the 10 different faces she made in 10 consecutive frames of shooting. What a sassy little 2 year old, love it! Enjoy your sneak, W family!

Bright, cheery, fun, I LOVE this awesome location! Really, what fits a 1 year olds personality better than these happy colors? This guy was FAST and so darn content just running my direction to inspect me and my camera. We got to meet again later in the week to smash some cake, it always proves to be a time full of laughter and fun!

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” George Bernard Shaw

When my clients send me a list of things they would like to incorporate into their session and it includes superhero capes, stomp rockets and books, I get giddy. A fun family doing what they do best, having FUN! My job behind the camera is to capture them as they are and I feel blessed that every year these families entrust their memories to me. I’m behind on blogging, slow for Facebook updating as it’s been a busy season, hopefully I’ll catch up in the new year!

…the HAPPIEST kid, ever. Seriously, the cheesy smiles were bountiful!! He knew how to work his audience, 6 adults dancing on the side of the a busy Phoenix road had to a sight to see I have so many great images from this session, can’t wait for mom, dad and loving grandparents to see them all! Robots, cake, red wagon + a cool wall made for great background but honestly, this guy would shine anywhere we put him! For now, just a few of this sweet 1 year old. Happy Birthday little guy and glad you enjoyed every single bite of your delish cake!

Sibling Love | Phoenix child photographer

PCS. Photographer Child Syndrome. Both kids have it, no doubt. They see my camera out all the time, they are used to me snapping away so when I get it set in my mind to get a great shot, they are less than interested. I can’t blame them, it’s more fun just being a kid! But when my daughter asked for her own special picture time AND requested a picture with her little brother, there was no way I was saying no! We had everything set up for another session that day so she brought out a few “props” picked out an outfit and we took some adorable pictures of her. The big winner of the day? Yeah, THE highly sought after sibling shot. Happy? Check. Near each other? Check. Not looking like they are going to push the other one down? Check! Success!!! And just looking at this one makes me all teary eyed, these guys love each other so much, it’s amazing to be their momma. Sure, they have their moments, but they are both lost when the other one isn’t there. Best buds, for now at least!

Double the cuteness! | Phoenix, Arizona twin baby photographer

Canyon Photography — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 03:18:50 +0000

I first met this adorable family 8 months ago when they were just beginning the crazy journey of raising twin boys. From the minute I walked in their home, love and joy exuded from the parents, THIS is what I love seeing, and it’s something that can’t be imitated. There’s no denying the excitement of bringing your babies home, and getting to photograph these guys in those early days was pure perfection. See some of our session here. Fast forward 8 months and we have 2 little guys that are on the GO! Fast, fun and so very curious, these guys were up for just about anything and I loved it!

C turns one!!

Oh man, this blog is getting dusty! I’m so very behind on sneak peaks of my photography sessions but still been busy working, sorry for the neglect! I promised this little one-year old’s momma a small sneak of her ADORABLE red head. The classic red wagon + pop of green background + perfectly content little guy made for a fun morning session in Scottsdale. I have to admit, I sort of wanted to take him home with me, he was a doll!!! 2 images for now, you’ll love the full gallery, he’s just perfectly adorable in everyone! Here’s a sneak of or sunrise portrait session:
