Mr. T is one year young! Mom was referred from a friend of mine who runs one of the best bootcamps in the East Valley who I photographed last year. Mr. T just turned one and mom was redoing his play room and wanted to get some fun shots of him with some vintage toys she had found. I know for a fact my friend will be quite jelly when she sees the antique desk!!
Isn't he so cute in his hat!
Few of the antique toys..........
Even an antique phone! He should run for president. Isn't there always a picture of the president with the phone upside down???
Such a handsome boy! Beautiful eyes! And I am a sucker for butt-chins! Is there another word for that?? Maybe I am not calling it by the right name?? Dimple chin maybe??
Thank you L & T! I had a fun with your little man and I hope you get that pool table out so you can start on his playroom!!Click here for slideshow
The C family is the sister in law of the M family. All of my families are so special to me and I love shooting all of them for various reasons. This one though I must say touched me in so many different ways. I feel a little choked up even now as I write this. Everything about this family was so special. Mom's enthusiam for the shoot, their family dynamics, their testimony, their strength, their love. Mom had a stillborn at 30 weeks. Was then blessed with 2 beautiful children. Concieved again and had a beautiful baby boy, Hayden. Unfortunately who passed away last summer. I included some photos of him that mom and dad took so he could also be in the slideshow. I am amazed everyday with people's strength and courage. Families like this represent what it means to love and just have faith. The love and happiness I witnessed with this family was beautiful. Sister for brother, daughter for dad, dad for mom, mom for son.......... brother for binky! I love their slideshow. It truly touched me. Thank you C family for sharing your story with me and letting me document your beautiful family. Your family is so blessed and I for getting to meet and spend time with you! There were so many favorites from this session!
Dad is gonna have a hard time with this one in a few years. Beauty....
And brains............
I hope my daughter and son stay close like these two...........
One of my faves of the whole gang!
Thanks again A & R! You have beautiful children!
Seriously?!? My families are making me look good! I had two fabulous shoots last weekend with the most beautiful children. Am I lucky or what? I had a lil' cherub, a future model, and Mr. Rico Suave himself!! Here are a few images to hold my moms over.....Enjoy!
I had a busy weekend! A wedding, a family session, a couple of highlights at the salon, my daughter's soccer game, and my nephew's birthday! Whew!
So needless to say I am up to my eyeballs editing..........so here is a sneak peak for mom! Love how she is so in awe of all the ruffles!!

I LOVE this family! I heart her, her mom, her sister, everyone! A few weeks ago her mom was in getting her hair done. She was asking me some questions about her camera and her ISO settings. I like to try, I emphasize try, to explain things because it helps me understand it all more too. Well, I either do not understand and have no idea what I am doing, I am a horrible teacher, or confused the heck out of her! Maybe a combo?? After 15 minutes of me talking and equating it to honey bees, the next thing she says is you know what, I am just going to hire you to take some pictures of my grandkids! I want to surprise my daughter! So she let me tell her daughter. So I facebooked her and said Surprise! You are entitled to a portrait session courtesy of your mom!. She was so excited and emailed me back .....Is this a joke?The session mostly focused on the kids, but mom and dad are too gorgeous to ignore! Baby A is at the age where she just wants to crawl around and Mr. L is at the age where decisions are just too hard to make! I want a cupcake. Nevermind, I don't want a cupcake. I think I want to explore. Nah, I think I want to go home. We met at one of their favorite places and just hung out. We got some fun shots. Thanks you guys! And don't forget to thank your mom!For their slideshow click here
This shot was taken at the end of the session because we didn't get many of mom and son together. It's kinda noisy and out of focus but I still love it. I think it's funny. Probably cause I told him to do it.
Beeeeauyooootiful family!
And I cannot lie. All You mommies all can't deny............
Joshy is 2. He is celebrated his youth with all of his friends and family at Bounce Jungle in Chandler. It's an awesome place for kids. We had our daughter's birthday there last year. There are 2 rooms filled with multiple bounce houses. I tried to slide at the same time Joshy was and get a shot side by side but that didn't work! I swear I am going to break my camera or myself one day! It was so fun to see him having so much fun! He was bouncing around all over the place! He was so cute too cause I asked him how old he was and to show me on his hands. You will see, he thinks he is 5ish?? ...........Mom asked me to just capture all the fun and get shots to remember his special day. I love this little special moment Joshy had with his dad before presents........
I caught Mom havin' a little fun too.........To see the rest of the
FUN click here
Up next is Mr. Joshy! He just turned the big 2! At first I thought his shirt said 21 but soon realized it was an exclamation point. Why I would I think it would say 21? I don't know. Maybe I wish I was turning 21 instead of 31, ........I mean 32 :).
Weird story about this client. She was referred to me by
Baby H's mom. Sometimes I work with
Serendipity videography when I am not shooting myself. I know, I know. Lately it just sounds like I am all over the place, hair/makeup, photographer, video............. Anyway, I had to let Taryn of Serendipity know I wouldn't be able to work a wedding for her because I just got booked to do a birthday party. THAT day I told her I couldn't work, she went to the park with her children and met a new mom there. Taryn has never seen this woman before. They got to talking about how her son is turning two and she was going all out and having a party for him and hired a photographer. Since Taryn works with so many she asked who and it was ME! Isn't that so random??? This world is strangley small.......... Anyway here is a little sneak peek of Mr. Joshy who has the cutest cheeks EVER! Stay tuned for his birthday party!
This is really one of the sweetest little families. Mom and I met when we first worked together at an auto insurance call center when I was in hair school. We instantly connected with our love of our dogs and dried mangos. Every once in awhile we would meet at the dog park with our "babies" and have a playdate. We haven't worked together in years but we stay in touch when I see them every 5 weeks when I do her and her husbands hair. The funny thing about these two is they never wanted kids! Then one day she came in and told me she was pregnant with her daughter, and just last month welcomed a little boy! Both are AMAZING parents! She is so attentive and he even more so! Always tending to the baby while she is getting her hair did!
Their little girl is so smart and sweet too. She knows sign language and was doing signs for mulldeer? whatever that is. She was sitting in the E of the L-O-V-E sign at the Scottsdale Civic Center and signing E! Maybe I should teach my son to sign since he can't say a dang thing! Normally I like to think I am in charge at a portrait shoot but I usually get put back in my place when there is a toddler involved! She told me who was boss and I was following her and the ducks!
I am usually a color girl but a lot of these I loved in black and white. Especially ones of mom and baby. Mom was looking beautiful and baby so sweet. Like this one.....
This was one of my favorite family pics. He looks just so proud and she so in love with her baby. I love how the wind swept her hair back too.....
Thank you Justice family for being such great clients and friends!
