Children

My Family <3 – Child/Family Photography – Gilbert, AZ

A few times a year I get the urge to take my family out for a “session”. Here is the result of this year’s first urge.

And if you’re wondering about the goofy hat, my husband bought it for my daughter as more of a surprise for me. The abominable snowman freaks me out a little and of course he thought that was hilarious. *rolls eyes* But oddly enough, I kind of thought this hat was cute. Joke’s on him! ;o)

Chamoun Family – Family Photography – Phoenix, AZ

This session made me realize how nice it is to have another person there to help me get some smiles out. I was so lucky to have a family member of the client there jumping around so I didn’t have to! ;o)

Kimmie, Alenia, Mike and “the kids” – Family Photography – Mesa, AZ

I have never heard more “oohs” and “ahhs” from people walking by a session than at this one. I pretty sure the horse sized dogs took the show on this one!

My family <3

Equipped with my camera, tripod and family…I tasked myself with taking our holiday pictures this year! This is the first time I have done a “full session” with my family. Usually it’s just a couple photos here or there. Of course by the end, Ava (my four year old daughter) was calling all the shots. I ♥ my little future photographer!

Hughes Family – Family Photography – Scottsdale, AZ

Little “Mags” was clearly a daddy’s girl as evidenced by all the giggles and smiles that appeared when daddy did his “peek-a-boo” game behind me.

Lindseth Family – Family Photography – Chandler, AZ

The brother and sister duo of this family was so stinking cute! While trying to get Sister to smile, Brother was acting like a little monkey behind me. So of course Sister had to do the same for Brother! It definitely brought out some great smiles in both of them!

Shaw Family – Family Photography – Sedona, AZ

I had a great time photographing this beautiful family in the breathtaking surroundings of Sedona, AZ! The weather was absolutely perfect and I was beside myself trying to take in all the GREEN! Oh “green” you ask? Yes, I realize most of us don’t really know what that looks like so here’s an example! 😉

Alessandra – Child Photography – Phoenix, AZ

One of my favorite clients just had their 2nd baby and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to shoot a sweet newborn! Except for a few curious peeks from sleepy eyes she was a perfect angel and slept the entire time. I don’t know how I keep getting so lucky with these newbies!

I Love Cali – Family Photography – Los Angeles, CA

My family and I took a mini vacation to Santa Monica, CA. It was the first time my daughter saw the beach…and she LOVED it! Of course I took this as an opportunity to get some updated pictures of us (and some random other things).

Shaw Family – Family Photography – Scottsdale, AZ

Five kids?? Not a problem! I had a blast shooting this family!! You would think they were all kid models with how comfortable they were in front of the camera!

Skyla – Child Photography – Gilbert, AZ

Miss Skyla was such a sweet little red haired angel! She was awake and alert when I got there but quickly fell in a peaceful sleep by the end.

From the first moment of meeting this family I knew they were going to be great to photograph. The boys were in super cute little coordinating preppy outfits and ready to show off their stuff!

Down for Anything – Family Photography – Phoenix, AZ

I had a blast taking pictures for this fun family! They were willing to let me try out a new location and went along with any of the crazy ideas I had (including sitting…or actually squatting…in an old rusted up car!).

Fun With a Parasol and Tutu – Child Photography – Chandler, AZ

I love it when I get the chance to take some pictures of my own daughter. So on a whim (which is usually the only time it happens!) I took her, her new parasol and tutu that she got for Christmas for an impromptu photoshoot.

Note that the only way she would agree to this is if she got to “take some pictures of mommy” as well. So the last four pictures on here are the ones that she took of me with the p&s camera she got for Christmas. Aren’t I such a good model?!? HA! Oh and you got to love the date on her pictures. I guess mom is fired for not noticing that on there when she originally got the camera…whoops!

Mommy and Me

Check out the smiles of this awesome mother and daughter duo. These two just make you want to go “Awww”.

Fun around the house

Just bought a new house? What better way to show all the family than including it with your family pictures! Great idea you two!

She’s such a poser…

You know a future model right away when you see someone pose like this little girl did. She was a blast to take pictures of as were her mom and dad. I love it when families come ready to have fun!

Always up for a challenge

This past weekend I was faced with a bit of a challenge while trying to capture the picture everyone wants. There were 4 kids, two different families and 3 of the kids were under the age of 1 1/2. We had a few meltdowns, and worms and oranges that were the ultimate distraction. When all was said and done I had a great time and captured a few perfect moments.
