A cold, but sunny day at DC Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona. With parents in town, we spent an enjoyable time capturing the little ones and the whole family. Here are a few favorites from this bunch of cuties.

“Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” JFK

While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.

“Children will not remember you for the material things you provided, but for the feeling that you cherished them.” Richard Evans

I just adore the face on the little guy below and the photo.

Some people are just so lovely and warm when you meet them for the first time and this is that kind of loving family. I enjoyed my day with this beautiful family. Squeezing in the last days of our warm spring in Arizona, we headed out to the Desert Botanical Garden for some great backgrounds. This adorable family just welcomed their baby girl and strolling around for a preschool aged boy is exactly what we needed to do. This little guy was a blast to be around as he searched for bunnies, sticks and bugs and kept us all quite busy!

A little rain and clouds for the thirsty desert, a great day for a photo shoot. Enjoy a few shots of this desert rose, so sweet and pretty, just waiting for this day to come.

“Clouds came floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”

One more cutie I photographed for Kylazations hair accessories on Etsy.

A great day with some sweet little girls trying on the most beautiful headbands and clips made by Kyla of Kylazations.  You can custom order to match any outfit. We just loved them. Here are a few shots to share with you until next time!

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”

What a fun couple of weeks joining in on Kindermusik classes and capturing those fun moments with mom (grandma, grandpa etc.) and child. I often wish I had some pictures during those times.  A quick sneak peek with more to come!  Thank you Miss Sherry for the fun time.

Without music, life is a journey through a desert.

Time for family pictures for this sweet family. A great day chasing two little boys, watching airplanes and rolling in the grass.

Great parents and beautiful boys. Thanks!

Another photo shoot as baby gets older….big sister still a big help and still smiling!

a friend to the spirit,

a golden thread to the meaning of life.”

Love those legs before they start moving around!

A mini-session for this cool little guy needing head shots to make it big.   He has the talent and looks!
