First Look at Photo Shoot

June 21st, 2011

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!

Daddy’s Arms

June 16th, 2011

Daddy holds me up when waves come crashing by,

In his arms I am safe and loved,

In my daddy’s arms I belong,

Nowhere else I can think of.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE DRESS

Another look into the beautiful wedding day of Matt and Danielle.  Of all the details in a wedding, the most significant and much anticipated is the wedding dress!

A Wedding to Remember

May 27th, 2011

As second shooter for the lovely wedding of Matt and Danielle, I had a blast and it was difficult to not join in on the fun and stay focused (pun intended!)  Working with Michel Duarte was a treat and here are just  few moments before the ride to the chapel.

Let all thy joys be as the month of May
And all thy days be as marriage Day
Let sorrow, sickness and a troubled mind
Be stranger to thee.

This little one almost lost it’s little bird life as my husband was thinning out a tree in our backyard.  The branch would never have been cut if we had seen the nest.  It must be scary as your home crashes to the ground. Luckily, my husband caught the little bird’s eyes with his as he picked up the fallen branch to throw away.  We placed the branch up high on a table and watched for many days. She never left the nest and the beautiful thing was as another bird came back (I am guessing the “he”), he kept circling where the branch used to be for quite sometime. Buzzing all around. Finally, he found his partner and chirped away.  We never got to see the eggs hatch as one morning they packed up and found a better suited home, most likely in a tree in a different yard.

Senior Time!

January 4th, 2011

Here are some more favorite photographs from an early senior session that I  loved doing. There is a different hope and excitement than the little ones I photograph. It is as if the dreams shift from parents to the child (I should say young adult) and it is inspiring to be a little part of this time in a person’s life.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Live the life you have imagined.

Musikids in Scottsdale

December 29th, 2010

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.

Holiday time is the best time for the family photo!  Three little girls at a park is super fun and a challenge.  Thanks a bunch!
