Scottsdale Family Portraits

admin — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 01:01:32 +0000

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.

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.

A Baby is Born

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.

Two Fairies

Are you moved by words? I love them when used so lovely.

Yeats creates this image and I went back to these photographs of the two fairy princesses playing in the backyard. This is how intense children play and I wish for that passion in my everyday life, like a flame upon the mountain! So, try to spread your wings a little more each day, who knows where you will go!
“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”
~William Butler Yeats, “The Land of Heart’s Desire,” 1894

Family Time in the Sonoran Desert

My dear friends wanted to capture the beauty of our surroundings in the desert with the sweetness of their special family bond.

Always enjoy my time outside with friends and a camera.

Walking off into the sunset!
