a beautiful little girl | phoenix portrait photographer

Gabby’s birtday party was a few weeks back. She decided that she had to have her party at Arcadia Park in Phoenix. One might wonder how she came to this big decision. Well one day we decided to stop by that park, we had never been there before. She noticed a hot pink T Rex […]

It seems like we do not post enough pictures of our own children. I guess we are so focused on editing other family’s sessions or making sure that a bride gets her album in a timely manner – that we overlook posting pictures of our girls and the other adorable children in our lives including […]

I love babies that are around 3 months old – they are beyond adorable! This little girl was certainly no exception – she was too cute and her older brother matched the cuteness! We have had so many kind, beautiful families to photograph this holiday season – another reason for us to be truly thankful! […]

family among the rocks | scottsdale family photographer

Since summer and thousand degree temperatures just do not seem to want to leave the Valley, we had to reschedule this absolutely understanding family from Saturday in the afternoon (yikes, it was like 108 at 3pm) to Sunday at 7am.  We are so glad they were so amenable to such an early start.  With the […]

Wow!  It is hard to imagine that the years have passed so quickly!  How is it that my little baby is turning 6?  As she and Gabby keep asking me, “Why do you want us to stay small?”  I don’t really want them to stay small, but they are growing way too fast!! Happy Birthday […]

I’m still laughing | family portrait photographer scottsdale

Ok…I was just on the blog coolmompicks – I was looking for backpacks for the kids for back to school…and low and behold I came across this featured book:  Awkward Family Photos. This is the funniest thing I have seen in awhile!  I can remember back to some similar pictures in my family – yikes! […]

new and beautiful | Paradise valley baby photographer

Uncategorized

Let me warn you. If the sight of a gorgeous four month girl upsets you then turn away now. The little girl I was privileged to photograph here is as sweet as sweet gets. She was so present and cooperative that it lead me to believe that modeling is an inherited genetic trait. Her mom is a model and if I am right then the explanation is easier than explaining why the sky is blue to my daughters. If not then I will give up trying to figure it out and just count her parents lucky for having such an easy going baby. With that said… look and enjoy (unless of course you heeded the earlier warning).

I’m sure these two brothers don’t want me to call them adorable – since they are boys and all – but they were REALLY adorable (and sweet, and fun, and super cooperative!)  With some prompts from mom and figuring out how to make each other laugh – these boys nailed every shot!  Such beautiful, genuine […]
