“When you love your children from the moment they begin, you yourself begin all over again, in them, with them, and so there is something more to the world again.”
~William Saroyan
These are some of our dearest friends. They are such beautiful people with such beautiful souls, really. We met at a mommy’s group when our boys had just turned a year old. Sometimes I feel we are leading parallel lives. Our boys are six weeks apart and are such good buds–Jack always talks about his “Lukie”–and we welcomed our daughters into the world a mere seven weeks apart. They were who we entrusted Jack to when I left him for the very first night in his life when I went into labor with Addison. It is such a special thing to have someone who is experiencing all the same joys and challenges of motherhood as you, at often the exact same time. It was a true pleasure to capture the love they have for one another and to photograph these two little beauties. Jack is smiling at the computer screen right now, telling me, “Oh, there’s Lukie and there’s…” He loves seeing his buds. Thanks for your friendship, and thanks for a great session…oh and a yummy dinner afterwards!
Love ya!

“Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It’s not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.”
~Author unknown
These two cuties will be getting married next year and are obviously so in love. They are so fun and easy-going. Thanks so much for walking all over with me to find those great spots! It was fun and you two are naturals in front of the camera.
Have a great trip up north–I sure hope it snows for you like you are hoping for! Feel free to bring some cooler weather back down to Arizona…:)

“To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.”
~Clara Ortega
I just love this family! The kiddos had so much fun exploring all of the fun things at our location. They were wonderful sports about the whole thing…I don’t think that a bribe–I mean trip to the toy store–had anything at all to do with it!
I sure hope that little man was sweetly rewarded with the best rocket this town has ever seen! They are so sweet and modeled so beautifully. They really know how to turn those gorgeous smiles on on cue. I just love to watch the bond that these two siblings have. It makes me smile and think of how my own two children will be like that one day. They already have such a bond, but it seems to get even more fun as they get older! Thanks so much for braving the slight drizzle and chilly morning weather for our session, C family! Love ya!!

It was wonderful to see this family again–can’t believe that it has been a year! The brothers are still as handsome as ever and I couldn’t resist posting this shot of the two of them jumping. They won for the highest jumps of the day! Wow!!
It was great to see you again, M family!! Thanks so much!

“A happy family is but an earlier heaven.”
~John Bowring
Wow. This little redhead has grown up so much since I last saw her for her newborn session back in July. She was a gorgeous newborn, and she is a gorgeous baby, too! Check out those eyes! I just love this family–so sweet and they adore their daughter. I can’t wait until mama starts to sell some of the awesome kids clothes she makes! Hint, hint girlie–get going! He he!

“A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.”
~Marion C. Garretty
Wow! These two sisters and their mom were so fun! They giggled and just had the best time with each other. I adore the colors that they wore, too! So bright and they totally made their photographs, don’t you think? Their clothing choices really accented their eyes, too!

“Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future.”
~Gail Lumet Buckley
…and so were the first two times I got to photograph this family! I last saw this sweetheart when she was a mere four days old, and she is now an alert little six week old. Time flies! To me, it is one of the best compliments to have returning clients. Almost all of my mini session clients this time were ones I have had the pleasure of photographing before. It was wonderful to see all of you again! You all rock! Hope you’re enjoying your new camera!

How adorable are these three?! I had the opportunity to photograph this little pumpkin when she was born, and now with her two cousins. They adore their new cousin, and they are just so sweet with her. Thanks for being my little models–boy did sister know how to pose!

“Love is what dreams are made of.”
~Anonymous
The gorgeous blue eyed sweetie that graces my website is back, and this time she brought the whole family.
Lucky me, aren’t they some of the most photogenic people? What a wonderful way to start off the most recent day of Holiday Mini Sessions! It was a day filled with lots of beautiful and sweet people…so happy to have been able to photograph everyone! More sneak peeks to come. E family, thanks for getting up with the sun for a great session. I must add, too, that you have two of the most polite children. It was a pleasure! Enjoy your sneak peeks!
