There is nothing better than a brand new baby — a miracle! I was thrilled for the opportunity to photograph this little angel! In fact, I was practically counting the weeks for her arrival. She is just as precious as her big sister’s, who by the way, are two of my favorite models and have appeared on my blog quite a few times already! With the help of my mom, A.K.A. “the baby whisperer”, everything went quite smoothly. Lucky for me, my mom is great with babies. She positioned her just right each time! The old girls made it fun too! I love getting my girl fix too. When everything at my house is legos, balls, and nerf guns, it’s pretty fun to talk nail polish, and “feathers”! Here’s a preview of some of the highlights — cuteness alert!
Sleeping babies are so peaceful!


I LOVE little feet pictures!



All the girls!

Love how fun these girls can be!


I am proud to call this little guy one of my “regulars”. His parents purchased a newborn to one year package, and I am honored to get to visit them every few months. Here’s his newborn session! As you can see, he is super cute! I just love his sessions. When I arrive his outfits have all been selected along with the most ADORABLE hats! Hopefully he won’t mind more hat over the next year, because I am sure his mom has more picked out for next time. I love having being able to see babies grow and it’s a great feeling for me to be able to document different milestones with them and their families. I look forward to our next session!











….exciting new things!

So it’s been a while or actually way too long since I last posted!  I actually had to look up my login for my blog — not good!  I’m going to make my a better effort to document what I have been up to, going forward.  The fall was super busy and I tended to only post pictures on my fb page, which is great, but fb doesn’t always show pictures as nicely as here on the blog.  I also confess that not everything even made it to my fb page.  Well it’s a new year (albiet that we’re already into February).  Nonetheless, I am going to begin the year with a wonderful photography workshop I just atteneded.  It was the mj2day with Melissa Jill.  What can I say about it?  It was nothing short of FANTASTIC  (I would say AMAZING, but I completely over use that word and am trying to refrain! lol) Melissa is an extroidinary photographer, who I have admired for a while and was thrilled to be able to join her in in Phoenix this week.  She poured her heart and sole out in her workshop, which was delightful.  It’s not often that someone will share so much of there talent and knowledge, but she did, and she did so in such a personal and kind way.    I feel like she validated some of what I knew, while teaching me MUCH MUCH more!  I am extremely grateful for this experience.  Not only did I leave there with a wealth of information (yes my brain is on overload), I made 15 new friends!  How cool is that?

Part of the workshop included a mock engagement shoot, which included an already married couple, expecting their first baby! They were fabulous subjects and that beautiful baby bump made the session even more fun!  Not only did we have two gorgeous subjects, we also had some spectacular light!
