Graduation time is right around the corner. Here is a little peek into this beautiful graduate’s photo shoot in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Such a fun day searching for the perfect spots and an easy going model!
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.
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!
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.
“Clouds came floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”
Rabindranath Tagore, Indian Poet
“I am the only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”
Helen Keller
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!

One more cutie I photographed for Kylazations hair accessories on Etsy.
“Children’s games are hardly games. Children are never more serious than when they play.”
-Montaigne
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 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.
“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection.” Freud
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. ~Lao Tzu
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.
