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

One more cutie I photographed for Kylazations hair accessories on Etsy.

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!

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer.

Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience,

and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

Harriet Tubman

“To myself I am only a child playing on the beach,

while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.”

Isaac Newton

Today is a smooth white seashell,

hold it close and listen to the beauty of the hours.”

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!
