I had so much fun with this Senior shoot. Not even the rain was going to get in our way! This kid is a wonderful guy with so many talents! Here is a sneak peek for you :) Congratulations!

Funny faces are AWESOME!!

Man do these boys have ENERGY! Trying to get them both to sit in the same place at the same time was near impossible, but luckily they are so cute we were able to get some keepers!! I love how they perfectly illustrate each of their adorable personalities :)

Christmas 2010!

Perfect summertime pictures! These were so much fun to take, I just wish it hadn't been 105 degrees outside so we could've taken a few more :) Hope the family enjoys them too!

Prom

2010-06-04T15:45:00.001-07:00

Here are a few prom pics....long overdue... for a friend! Some cute and nervous kids ready to go out for a night to remember! Aren't they cute? :) Wish I had known they weren't going to take pics at prom because I would have taken alot more pictures and tortured them a little longer to ensure we got more great shots, but here are some of the ones we did get!

Oranges anyone????

Here are some pictures of little Andrew whom I babysat when he was just a little baby (ok, so he is not so little anymore)! Hard to believe he is now a Senior! His beautiful girlfriend came along too, so we snuck her in a few pics. It was fun taking pictures at this new little spot I found. Here is a sneak peek! I am still working on editing some more, but here are a few of my favs so far! I know his mom was probably hoping for some more traditional photos, so no worries Nina ... we took a few of those too ;) Hope you like!

More pics of baby "D"

Here are a few more of this 14 day old cutie :) The first one makes me think of a winter wonderland and it fits our rainy weather perfectly! Can't decide if I like the black and white or color better though????

This little guy was so sweet and I just LOVE all that hair. He wasn't too keen on sleeping, but he still tolerated all our torture and gave us a few good shots. He reminds me alot of Tilden as a baby and snuggling him almost made me want to have another one ... so precious!

LOVE this location and can't get enough of it, so get ready to see it ALOT! We did our own family photos there and I just did this gorgeous family there yesterday and can't get over the beautiful fall colors (which you don't often see in AZ). So here you go "H" family, hope you enjoy!

So.... we decided to give it another go with Little Miss I Don't Want to Look at the Camera! And as you will see, she lived up to her name. She was still so adorable and we had fun hanging out, so here is the story. We began our picture taking adventure and crossed our fingers with a bag of tricks ready just in case. From the looks of this first picture, we knew we were going to need all the tricks we had.

So first we tried bubbles, but Little Miss wanted to hold the bubbles ...

So then we tried to just let her do her own thing and chase her around with the camera. This is where we got a lot of cute pictures of the back of her adorable liitle blonde head...

So ... we tried some Mommy play time. Needless to say, she is a Momma's girl!

Now onto our next trick ... gummy worms (those of you who know Karen know how funny it is that Little Miss loves these so much)... She was very serious about her worms!

Yes, that is a FULL mouth of worms, YUMMO!

And now we have the end of our 2nd photo session...

So here you have it .... Little Miss I Don't Want to Look at the Camera Part 2!

Thanks for the adventure girls :)

Here is the latest family pictures. Can you believe all this red hair and gorgeous blue eyes? So amazing! I know this mom is really interested in the black and white photos, but I couldn't bring myself to post ONLY black and white because the color photos are so vivid and beautiful. Don't worry Tysh, I did all of them in black and white for you too :)

I took pictures of a friend and her family today. It was fun, but Paige wanted to put my skills to the test. This adorable little spitfire was not impressed with me or my camera! She wanted nothing to do with me. We tried every trick in the book, but nothing seemed to impress her.:) We did manage to get a few with her (somewhat) looking into the camera, lol! Thanks for a fun morning. Here is a sneak peak for you!

So this last picture will crack you up! This is the image I found in my camera from a test shot I took as I was adjusting my settings. So sad it so overexposed because I think it illustrates the shoot perfectly, lol!

Had a perfect holiday family photo shoot today! I took pictures of a good friend and her family. It was a good time and we got so many great pics! It was hard to post enough of them. These are just my favs. Thank you for being good sports :) Hope you love the pictures!
P.S. If you click on the pictures, it will make them bigger :)

More of Baby Ryder!

Here are some more pictures of baby Ryder! He was 4 weeks old when we took them. He is soooo adorable and it was such a learning experience for me.

Baby Ryder!

Took a few pictures of a friend's baby. He was adorable! Will post a couple more soon, but this one is my fav so far! So sweet!

Homecoming '09

2009-11-14T18:55:00.000-07:00

Justin, my friend Holly's son, went to homecoming this weekend! I went over to take a few pictures for them. Justin and his date Kailyn were so gorgous and made it easy to take great pictures. I definitely think taking pictures of High School Seniors would be so much fun. We even squeezed in a couple with Holly and Justin. I loved the couples blue eyes, but I also loved the look of the black and whites, so I put a few of each, can't decide???? We even got one of Tilden and Justin. Tilden looks so small next to him, adorable!! Hope they had a great time and thanks for letting me take some pictures!!
