Anyone who is blessed to know these boys is lucky to have them in their lives. Most of the photos I take of them are with my phone. I actually have to schedule a shoot just like I would any other clients. I had this shoot scheduled 3 other times and the days just didn’t happen to be on our side whether it was rain, tantrums, or just plain laziness! But this day was PERFECT! Good moods, beautiful clouds, and fun times!

The energy that is brewing in these bodies overwhelms me at times, but the life that these 2 little souls carry around just radiates beyond the heavens. They make me laugh, they bring me joy, and they give me purpose. To my two little sweet comedians I love you more then words could ever describe. You’re my everything. -momma

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Abby and Piper moved in down the street from us a little less then a year ago. They have an awesome sisterly bond and we love hanging out with them! We planned a double photoshoot/playdate with all the kids. It was more of a “run around, roll around in the grass, do cartwheels and somersaults, and get super red-faced at the golf course” kinda day, but we got some great pictures regardless:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So happy for this adorable couple. They had an intimate church wedding in Sierra Vista surrounded by their closest family and friends. Jacob will be going into the Air Force soon and they’re expecting a beautiful baby in December! Lots of changes are coming to this family! So thankful I got to spend the afternoon with them.

Oh I could’ve photographed this beautiful family all day! These beautiful girls are the same ages as my kiddos! King (the 1 year old), wasn’t feeling picture day, but he kept me nice and cool with his squirt bottle. I love my job because I always meet the nicest families, and what’s even cooler is finding out we literally live up the street from one another!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This little guy stole my heart with his sweet smile and his adorableness in his little baseball gear! His big dog sister Wrigley even put on her jersey for the photo shoot! Here are a few of my favorites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this family! All I can say is I WISH I had video evidence from this shoot because the video would’ve gone viral. I will paint the picture….Driving in the car….it’s a glorious day! The sky is bright blue, the trees are overgrown and dancing in the sunlight, the world is lush and green from all the refreshing rain we have had over the past week. We park the car with smiles on our faces, turn the cars off, get out, and immediately die from the humidity and blazing sun that is shooting it’s million degree laser beams down on us. Holly jumps out of the car with missing nails and the wrong shirt, and mosquitos smell our blood and start dive bombing us. “We got this, let’s just shoot one picture over here in the hottest section of the universe and then we will find shade and we’ll be totally fine.”

Not only did I choose to shoot the 1st photo in the hottest portion of the universe, but there were also 1.5 million baby frogs and 2.3 million fire ants residing on that portion of the earth.  “Okay I got the photo, let’s go find shade!” (we’re already drenched from the gallons of sweat pouring out of every pore). Dodging the frogs, ants, and mosquitos, we find some spots along the way. Colton hates every idea I have and runs the opposite direction as fast as possible. Brynn is miserable because her shoes are giving her blisters, Brian is trying to remain calm. We got some more photos and headed to find MORE SHADE. By this point, Holly tells Brian he should just go shirtless because his shirt was so wet. As I am taking the last group of photos, bugs are attacking me from every angle. All I hear is buzzing in my ears and beetles were trying to build a nest in my hair, I’m screaming and running in circles like a damn fool and we all almost pee our pants from laughing so hard. THE END

Truly the best and worst photo shoot experience of my life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bodie came into the world a week late and was 8 lbs and 11 oz of deliciousness! Such a snuggly little love! I photographed his big brother when he was born and now Noah is a big boy, running around, playing dinosaurs, and doing headstands!

So happy for this amazing family. I can’t wait to see all the photos of these sweet boys growing up together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These two are so excited for their sweet little baby girl to be arriving any time now! Donna and Bernard wanted a desert setting since they’re from California. I absolutely loved Donna’s dress, which complimented the desert colors perfectly! I can’t wait to meet this little angel baby!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh my goodness this sweet little one stole my heart. Such a perfect, sweet little girl who stayed sleepy the whole time we were there! Her daddy is in the military and left the country shortly before she was born so we used his hat and his favorite color grey 🙂 She’s going to have him wrapped around his finger!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was so wonderful seeing this amazing family again! I shot Tina’s sisters wedding a few years ago and now it was Tina’s turn to marry her best friend! They said their I Do’s at the beautiful JW Marriot. They had a lot of out of towners so they decided to do the whole wedding indoors to escape the heat! Tina has this infectious, fun personality and Ryne had this quiet sofistication. They complimented each other so well and it was such a joy to be a part of their day. And can I jut say how much I love weddings with lots of kids?!

Thanks to Justin Pang for second shooting with me!
