Summer feels like the never ending season in central Arizona. We hit triple digits in April, overnight lows don’t dip below 90 for 90 days straight and we are still sweating out the heat of the day while our northern friends and family are buying super cute sweaters and boots and watching leaves change to…
A few weeks ago I introduced you to Will – a precocious 2 year old little boy who was simply adorable at his mom’s maternity session. Well, his little sister has made her appearance in the world and Will brought her in for her first portraits when she was a mere 9 days old. I…
I have really enjoyed photographing this little lady as she has grown from a lovingly anticipated bun in the oven to a walking, talking, “I know what I want” pre-toddler. This is what I love about my job – meeting a couple expecting their first child and having the opportunity to capture these special milestones…
The perfect start… As a newborn photographer, when your session with an 10 day old starts off with a smile – and I mean HIS smile – then you know it’s going to be a great day! Meet Anderson – And adorable little fellow who mom swears looks EXACTLY like his older sister did when…
As a baby photographer, I have a hard time not “oohing” in delight at the sight of the creamy goodness of a baby’s soft skin. Carina has the perfect complexion of a seven month old and the delightful smiles that just warm your heart. We had a lot of fun at her “sitting up” milestone…

This little sweetie came in a couple of months ago for her first portrait session. At almost 5 weeks of age she was very expressive and WIDE awake for a majority of the session. Mom indicated that she really liked the color purple and so I worked with that as an overall theme, incorporating purple…
Two words: ROAD TRIP! My family’s idea (well, maybe just mine) of a great summer vacation is a road trip exploring the roads and towns of the USA. Each summer we pile in our van and set out for a great destination and try to enjoy the scenery as it flies by. Our previous trips…
In keeping with the pattern that started earlier this year, Mr. Will, whom I photographed when he was a little baby at 4 months of age, brought in his gorgeously pregnant mom for a set of maternity portraits. Will has the same smile he had when he was a tiny guy (see his baby portraits…
This is a session from two years ago that I somehow neglected to share! Mom contacted me recently to order a few additional prints from Miss Athena’s newborn portrait session and it was a great trip down memory lane to look through these images. As you can see, she was a sweet and adorable newborn…
