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!

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:

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!

Last week marked M’s first haircut. His curls got my heart, more than most can ever understand. Cutting them left me with a few tears but it was that or a mullet. For his sake, I had to go with the cut, something I’m sure he’ll appreciate someday, at least until the mullet is back in style

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!!!

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

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!

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

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!

Boy o boy!

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!!

Sneak peak from baby T’s 1 year session! I cannot believe that I first met her gorgeous family over a year ago for her momma’s maternity session. I’ve been blessed to watch her grow from an adorable, perfect newborn to a gorgeous toddler. And the hair, oh my, the hair!!! To die for!

Blue-eyed beauty at 9 months | Phoenix, AZ baby photographer

Canyon Photography — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 04:23:27 +0000

I first met this beauty just shy of a few weeks old and have watched her grow into a gorgeous 9 month old girl. Her eyes have always been this beautiful, she makes my job as a photographer easy! Love watching the transformation from newborn to standing, babbling and engaging baby. I could have watched baby A play all day! Enjoy your sneak peak C family!

A few more of my sweet beauty.

Lily turned 2.5 and wanted to celebrate with some pictures…we’ll see how long her love of photoshoots lasts She has such soulful eyes and her personality can light up a room in an instant. I appreciate her for her and we love her toddler antics. We are blessed with a spunky, loving and caring girl that has made our lives so much richer. Love you, L.

Oh to be three again!!! This little girl really couldn’t be any more fun and I enjoyed every minute of “working!” We spent the evening painting, exploring and playing in water…what better does life get at that age?

OK, I’m still here, I promise!!! Life is extra busy between 2 kids (Max is 3 months, when did that happen?!?!?!). Catching up on shoots that I did a while back but never blogged. If you’re a fan on Facebook, you’ve seen these. If you’re not a fan, get over there and “like” me!
