…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!

“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.” -Angela Schwindt

I first met this sweet gal a full 18 months ago and this marks our 6th session. I have loved every minute of capturing her milestones from newborn on. The one thing that’s stayed pretty constant is her sweet demeanor and this session was no different. She opened up our session with smiles and came to life during a rousing game of peek-a-boo, we were off to a great start! A carousel ’ride’, giggles, and swings made for the perfect opportunity for her sweet smiles to shine through. Thank you C family for allowing me to capture your sweet girls infectious love of life!

And this one totally just cracks me up

cheeks | mesa, arizona newborn photographer

Canyon Photography — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 22:14:37 +0000

The sweet cheeks on this little guy just BEGGED to be nibbled! I have to admit when I snuggled with him for a minute I contemplated it. Between the cheeks, eyelashes and absolute perfect personality, this little 6 monther made my job even better.

Sweet and new | Chandler, AZ newborn photographer

Canyon Photography — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 05:30:40 +0000

Fresh. Sleepy. Loved. This little guy was 14 days old, and in terms of newborns, he’s on the older side. He gave mom + dad a hard time before our session but by the time I got my hands on him he was putty. Lovely, squishy, bendy putty. He posed like a champ, slept on cue and even got a few sweet kisses by his fun and lively older brother. As a mon, I know that it’s an amazing blessing watching your first child become a “big” brother or sister. It brings out the most amazing feeling of deep love watching that new connection, never to be topped! Welcome to the world baby J, welcome to the world.

I can’t get enough of newborn parts! Ears, lips, and toes, so small and delicate!

What fun to be ONE! | Mesa, Arizona toddler photography

I know it’s been quiet around here, between business and family I’ve had to leave blogging on the back burner. I have 18 sessions that need blogged, all have long been seen by the families and portraits are hanging on the walls. Someday I’ll get through it all but for now, just one of an adorable little man!

And a few more from the rest of our fun morning session and then cake smash! How can you beat watching a 1 year old smoosh up a cake and enjoy every minute of it? Oh yeah, have his big brother there cheering him on! Go little guy, it’s your birthday!

Small sneak peak for the G family, more to come on all of my sessions soon. Life is crazy busy lately but I’ll catch up eventually!! This family shot truly epitomizes the fabulous life of being a parent of a 2-year old. Fun, laughter, and pure joy without a doubt!

Wall Art Wednesday Phoenix family photographer

Canyon Photography — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 17:04:55 +0000

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means! Another edition of Wall Art Wednesday, fun fun fun! This week is a bit less structured which works well for a lot of my clients homes. My design style is on the fence between structured and a bit loose, we’ll just call it semi-structured. I’ve come to realize that with 2 kids in the house there’s less structure to our home (thanks to the explosion of books, crafts, and toys) and I need a bit of structure on our walls to counterbalance the craziness that comes with kids Someday I’m going to take some rockin’ pictures of our wall art to use for this weekly post but for now, here is a bit more inspiration.

I’m a serious sucker for incorporating the kids art work onto the walls. Letting them see their work in a frame allows them a sense of worth to their art which is so important! Use something fun and less “matchy” like this in a kids area, play room or even eat-in kitchen like this one shows. Did I mention how I love the frames that all come together perfectly but nowhere near match?

I love the size of these prints over the couch. Bigger is better over furniture!

Have a great Wednesday!!!

Mine on Monday Mesa Family Photographer

These curls make me melt. Love this boy.

She looks way to old for my liking. Everyday she does or says something that makes us laugh hysterically, I LOVE that she can make us laugh over the smallest of nothings. The joy of being a kid resonants loud and clear with everything she does in life, I’m blessed that she calls me “mommy.”

Catch up time! | Phoenix, Arizona family photographer

Canyon Photography — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 06:17:07 +0000

As with most photographers, this time of year is more than crazy. We build ourselves up for it, know it’s coming but no matter what, I still can’t keep up with it all! This blog, which I hope at least someone reads (:waves hi: comment, let me know you’re here!!) is one thing that can be neglected. Holiday cards, client proofs, orders, etc can’t be! So here’s a bit of what’s been going on for the past month or so!

be back with more soon!

1 year later | Chandler, Arizona child photographer

Canyon Photography — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 05:59:24 +0000

I first met this gal just under a year ago and to this day still get compliments on her beauty. Her mom and dad are probably the easiest people to work with and it shines through. We tried for a cake smash but this little cutie wasn’t so sure of the sweet stuff, that’s for sure! Despite our best attempts at encouraging, she just wasn’t into it! Either way, she’s gorgeous and I enjoyed figured out what made her smile

I call this little gal mine. She’s a client, a friend, a light in my life. I love getting to see her shining face each week and relish in the joy that she has for life. Although we didn’t quite get the smiles out of her little sis, she and her brother were angels today. Enjoy your sneak peak M family!

A year already? | Phoenix, AZ child photographer

Canyon Photography — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 05:36:38 +0000

How has it been a year already? I first photographed this little beauty just shy of a few weeks old and I’ve had the privilege to watch her grow throughout the year. We had some cake (and that girl knows how to go for it!), some giggles, and some puppy time which made for an all around good time! Enjoy your sneak peak C family!

Baby blues | Phoenix, Arizona baby photographer

Canyon Photography — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 04:44:08 +0000

I love 1/2 birthday’s! Something about the 6 month mark just makes me smile. With each of my babies 6 months has marked such a turning point in personalities. The new-found sense of independence, mobility on the forefront and exploration of toes, toys and more just is the start of the fun to come. I love photographing the new wobbly sitting and tentative smiles….love! Enjoy your sneak peak O family!

Boy o boy!

Canyon Photography — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 04:43:19 +0000

This little guy was way more interested in crawling through the rocks (can you say OUCH!!) than my camera….I have a feeling his mom takes quite a few pictures Just one picture for now, more to come soon!

And here’s the rest of this guys preview from his mini session. Can’t wait until our family session, these kids are just too cute!!
