So Many

 

So many captive photo pawns at the pool. . .so little time!

 

 

 

 

Seriously, so serious

Do you think this girl loves swimming or what?!

I am entering her and her serious love of swimming in the ilovefaces weekly photo contest. Join me and many others if you will, with your own picture of sports in action.

Fly like a butterfly, Bullseye

and good luck at divisionals!

About Me

• Photography is my passion. My husband is tolerating the affair. My children? Well, not so much. They are a little tired of the camera lens in their faces. How about if I follow you around instead?

• I am a natural light lover and so that is what I use to take pictures. I am drawn to parks, backyards, front porches, green lawns, fountains, and quiet shady spots.

• Natural window light is very soft and flattering, so if you have room with an abundance of sunlight and wish for a photo shoot in the comfort of your home, we'll be there. Me, my camera and I.

 

• I specialize in couples, children, families, babies, teens, senior portraits, school portraits, engagement and pets. Pretty much everything except weddings. 

• I service the Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert area. I will travel with you to Hawaii or Paris or Japan if you like. ;o)

 

Here are just a few great reasons to celebrate with keepsake photographs that will keep the memories bright:

--Birthday

--Anniversary

--Family Portrait  (Christmas and Easter are great times)

--Graduating Senior

--Valentines

--Engagement

--Pets

--Head shots

--Life

 

Look me up!

Lather, rinse, REPEAT

 

Okay, so this isn't an advertisement for shampoo but I just couldn't help focus on the word REPEAT.  As in, since I started taking pictures for other people 8 months ago, this little doll is my first REPEAT customer.  

You can see her first shoot here.   We have both changed A LOT.

Couldn't you just

 

eat her right up?!

 The irresistible toes can be dessert.

But only if this cute guy didn't eat them already. 

Burp. . .

Kudos to mom for all her darling outfits and fun ideas.

Nothing

What happens when impending stormy weather threatens to postpone a photo shoot and you call to move up the shoot time?
If you are this cool guy, nothing.
No complaining about hair, make-up or outfit. No whining about the windy day or wearing a wool blend suit in the Arizona summer weather.

What happens if I hear thru the grapevine that he only wants one photo taken?
Something.
Like me taking about 100.

What happens when he suggests he might not want remove those stylin' glasses to reveal those killer blue eyes?
You tell me!

What happens when his mother kindly declines and invitation to be in a picture with her soon-to-be-missionary son and I sneak her in the background anyway?
Nothing.
I hope.

EIGHT is GREAT

 

One

Two

 

Three

Four

 

Five

Six

 

Plus Mom and Dad, make EIGHT.

 

I am thinking eight is NOT enough when your family is as good looking as this! 

 

When I saw and edited the picture below, this quote came to mind.

“Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger.”  author unknown

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being your photographer!

One-derful

 

This little cherub is turning one.

 

She belongs to this one-derful family.

 

 

She is one-derfully sweet and strong and cuddly and quick and smart and full of life.

 

She travels at the speed of one hundred one-derful emotions a minute.  This is the one we loved the best!

Thank you for the one-derful opportunity to photograph such a beautiful child.

What I Know

 

I have gotten to know this amazing senior over the past year.

I know she is beautiful.

 

I know she has flawless, bespeckled alabaster skin.

 

I know that she is funny and smart and creative and patient and spunky and dramatic (not as in a drama queen but as in a great actress) and kind  and many, many other things.

 

What I DID NOT know

.

.

.

is that she has the cutest little hidden dimple!!!

 

 

I got to see it twice.

That is the best part about friendship--the getting to know you process is a life long journey.  There are always amazing little gifts just waiting to be shared and discovered.

One last thing I know. 

I know Marissa has a wonderful future a head.

Love ya girl!

Go class of 2009!!!!!!!

Warning

 What every little 2 year old  boy needs:

1. A warning sign

2.  A killer set of boylashes

3.  Someone to watch his back because that is what you will see a lot of. . . 

 

4.   Some crackers to go with his cheese. . .

 

5.  And a Mom that can make him smile like this!
