“But then, shall I never get any older than I am now? That’ll be a comfort, one way — never to be an old woman — but then — always to have lessons to learn!”
~Alice, Alice in Wonderland
Amazingness. Not a word, I know, but when I think of this weekend’s Alice in Wonderland shoot, I just think to myself…amazingness. Yep.
The past month was spent planning and organizing and dreaming of this shoot, and it was simply awesome to see it all come together. So many incredibly talented designers and creative women were involved in this endeavor, and I want to thank each and every one of them. I know you will love checking out their websites and blogs to learn more and to see more of their fabulous talent.
The tablescape was styled by the ultra-talented Kim of The TomKat Studio. She did such an amazing job, don’t you think? She turned this dream tea party into a reality!!!
So, without further ado, Alice welcomes you to her bright, fun, modern + chic Wonderland!

“Siblings–the definition that comprises love, strife, competition and forever friends.”
~Byron Pulsifer
We traveled to California for the long weekend to visit family. These three are my adorable cousins, and it was so.much.fun to see them again.

It had been awhile–the last I saw them, I was pregnant with Jackson. My children had never met them, so I was so happy for everyone to be together. In my mind’s eye, they were small children that loved to run around, hunting for bugs and sweetly coloring at a table. I got to know three very much older-acting tweens (and a teen) this weekend.
D, the oldest, I quickly discovered loves all things aquatic. He is intelligent and curious.
The lone girl in between two brothers, S, still loves to be creative and has such a sweet, mothering side. She happily chased after Addie as she ran from room to room and watched out for her the whole weekend. 
Little S is the kind-hearted, banana-loving (his nickname is Monkey) younger bro. He loves donuts with sprinkles and can row a mean paddle board.
It was a fabulous feeling to get to know my cousins all over again in these new stages of their lives. We had a blast and stayed busy the whole weekend. How fun that we now live on the same side of the country. Thanks for showing us SUCH a wonderful time!!
xoxo,
laura

Loved these–they scream summer + fresh to me. Dress from the talented Ivy and A, headband by the fabulous Dolce Vita Mia, and orange courtesy of the random property owner who kicked us off his land shortly after these photos were taken. Ahh, such sacrifice for the art…
That’s about as exciting and living-on-the-edge as my life gets these days with a one year old and a three year old. Fun times!
xoxo,
laura

“A toddling little girl is a centre of common feeling which makes the most dissimilar people understand each other.”
– George Eliot
I first met this darling little girl and her wonderful parents when she was six months old and just beginning to crawl. I instantly was endeared to her sweet smile, her pouty lips and amazing eyes. Her mom, Vicki, and I became fast friends.
This wonderful little girl is so full of life and spirit, and I feel honored to have the opportunity to photograph her again now at a year old. This stunning location made my heart skip a beat and had me clicking the shutter the entire time. At a year, this sweetie has adorable, wispy curls, the same blue eyes that you can get lost in, a self-confidence to be jealous of, and the beginnings of a Spanish vocabulary. We had a great time–we only had to resort to bribery once or twice. I’m not so sure how well our currency worked, though…who uses ice to bribe a child on a 90 degree day in Arizona?
Thanks for a wonderful session! Enjoy your sneak peeks…

“A daughter is a bundle of firsts that excite and delight,
giggles that come from deep inside and are always contagious,
everything wonderful and precious and your love for her knows
no bounds.”
– Barbara Cage
Oh, how I love this little sweetie. I first met her when I photographed her as a newborn, then when she was around 4 months old, and now at nine months. I LOVE my job, and I ADORE my clients! How absolutely amazing to be able to watch this little princess grow right before my eyes! She is such a treasure and was a wonderful little model. T, I got that adorable little nose scrunch she does on camera…but I’m going to make you wait to see it, sorry! He he! I love you guys!! Thank you so much–I can’t wait to capture the new big sis and the new baby in the fall, too! Aww, my sweet girl is growing up! Enjoy your sneakie peekies!
xoxo,
laura
