“Music speaks what cannot be expressed,

soothes the mind and gives it rest,

heals the heart and makes it whole,

flows from heaven to the soul.”

An artist with the sound of an angel! This was my favorite.

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

Here is the latest little one at four weeks old.  Her dreamy angel face makes you think she slept the whole time!  It turned out we got great mommy and baby shots with all the extra cuddling time.   I really just fell in love with newborn photography all over again.

Mother is so sweet and beautiful!  She made it awfully hard to choose the best photos.  She came with no intention of being photographed and even said to try and crop her out and look at these precious shots of her.  A natural beauty….mom and baby!

What a beautiful sight this time of year in the Arizona desert, a time of color and beauty to soak in before the heat destroys my yearly attempt to have a flower garden in the desert.

The prickly pear cactus showing off it’s delicate flower.  I love the contrast of a beautiful flower on a rough and prickly plant.

I just could not choose between the color and the black and white. Hmmm. Color is a rarity in the desert, but on the other hand black and white always attracts me especially to demonstrate the desert landscape.  What do you think?

Ocotillo

The majestic saguaro stands alone and is completely amazing to me and I have lived among them my whole life!  The Cactus Hotel, a children’s book, is a must read for all children!
