They are patient and easy-going, a great start to becoming parents!

Field of Dreams

Monday, January 28th, 2013

On the way to meeting with this beautiful senior for her photo shoot, I noticed a cotton field on the side of the road and thought “what a perfect spot.” I completely forgot to mention it to her and we finished the session at the determined location, see post.  So, I called her on the way home and she happily agreed to meet me there, for just a few more. I just love spontaneous moments and people, especially when they work out. This is by far one of my favorite  stops.

Scottsdale Family Portraits

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.

A New Year

Saturday, January 5th, 2013

A summer off of blogging led into the fall, which brought our family into a new home and move and somehow here it is a new year. I enjoy sharing new photos and am back for the new year. Wishing you and your family the happiest of times and shining moments.

My 2013 goal:  Capture, edit and print our own family moments and keep our life simple!

Desert Botanical Garden

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

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 New Beginning

What an exciting way to start the new year. A sweet baby boy and a new family. I love the new year, it is just like a baby…full of hope, love, wonder and excitement. This little guy was too sweet and is just a bundle of cuteness.

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.

UNITY

I love this idea that the family wanted to do, inspired by a Taylor Swift photograph.  Now I need to do this with my family, but our name is way too long!
