Catholic Confirmation Photo Shoot

Had the privilege of photographing this beautiful young lady as she prepares for Confirmation. Such an exciting time for her and I loved getting to capture her at this stage in life!

All American Seniors!

Sometimes I show up for a photo shoot and when I meet the family for the first time, I instantly feel like we are friends.  This is how I felt when meeting these darling twins and their cute momma.  Brother and sister couldn't have been any cuter, but what I loved most was their relationship with each other.  So sweet!  Loved that we got to capture the above photo on their school football field.  She lettered in Cheer and he lettered in Track.  

I almost wanted to cry FOR their mom when I found out they were her two youngest of four children.  Her babies are going to be leaving the nest.  I know how quickly it seems my own kids are growing up and I can only imagine how she must feel that her babies are almost done with school.  

Try and savor each moment.  I remember when I had babies, other moms would tell me that they will grow up in the blink of an eye.  It's hard to believe when you're a sleep deprived mom with a newborn.  But now that my oldest is 15 I know it's true.  And I'm trying to hang on to every minute with her and my other kids before I'm taking THEIR senior photos.

The L Family - Chandler Ocotillo Family Photo Shoot

Another beautiful family on the inside and out! And another family where I meet the mom for the first time and feel like I've met an old friend.  I sure love my job and all of the people I get to meet.

The W Family - Gilbert Family Photos

I first met this family when I was asked to photograph their 8 yr old for her baptism photos.  You can see that here:  Baptism Shoot

  Was so excited when they asked me to do their family photos in the fall.  Talk about a picture perfect family! 

Scottsdale Family Photos

Holiday family photo sessions are in full swing!  Had so much fun photographing our good friends up in Scottsdale.  They definitely look like they could be on the cover of a catalogue.  So beautiful - both inside and out!

Another beauty turning 8....

Loved meeting this cute girl at the Gilbert temple for her baptism photos.  Her mom wanted to make sure we captured her fun personality and had mentioned that she had even thought about bringing her scooter to the shoot.  When I found out how much she loved the scooter, I told her to run home and get it!  Mom was able to get in touch with her older daughter who brought it to the park for us.  And we ended up with some of my favorite baptism photos ever!  Totally captures her at age 8!

It's Great to be Kate Turning 8!

A little late posting, but had to share my own daughter's baptism photos!  Sad that my baby is growing up so fast, but so grateful for the person she is becoming!  She brings so much joy to our family and always has a smile on her face!

Fall Family Photos - In Full Swing!

Love meeting new families!  And when they step out of the car looking this beautiful, you know it's going to be a great session!

I only have a couple of spot left this fall.  Please message me if you want to schedule your session!

Desert Senior Photos

Had so much fun photographing this cute senior!  Loved that he wanted photos doing what he loved best - mountain biking and playing his guitar!  

Baby on the Way!

This beautiful momma is pregnant with her 4th, and last, child.  She wanted to make sure and document the moment and I was thrilled to take these maternity photos for her.  I actually loved being pregnant and wish I had taken more photos capturing that season of my life!  So glad she will have these to treasure forever!
