2013 continues to be the year of younger siblings for me. It’s always a delight to receive phone calls and emails letting me know that new babies are on their way and asking to schedule sessions to capture this milestone for families. I photographed Aleeza’s older sister Maren in early 2012 and it was wonderful…
Little Miss Maya, and her delightful dog Tuscan, drove down with their parents from northeast Arizona for a portrait session with me a couple of weeks ago. SO much fun! As you can see, both children cooperated wonderfully and let their personalities shine through to the portraits. It was funny to watch Maya chew on…
Wesley came to visit me this summer when he was right around a month old – wide-eye and chipper. He obviously thought he was too old for this “sleeping” thing, but I am a patient photographer and willing to work with all the little things that babies throw my way. 🙂 His beautiful blue eyes…
I am SUPER excited to show off the latest addition to the MJP product line-up. I have searched and searched for an album that would offer a clean, understated modern feel. What I found is an album that will almost deceive you – it looks so unsuspecting, but feels divine when you pick it up…
I have a confession – I have hard drive after hard drive filled with personal snapshots of holidays, vacations, birthday and other, everyday type moments that are stuck in bit-land, only accessible if I pull up the files on my computer. This is not a way for these memories to live as they aren’t in…
Miss Hannah is going to be a talker – at not-quite-one-year-old, she is one of the most vocal “babies” I have ever photographed. And she does it in the most adorable fashion – chattering on for a few minutes and then breaking out into a delightful set of giggles and grins. It’s as if she’s…
Periodically I do get out of the studio and have had some amazing sessions in beautiful locations. But one location I have never photographed is in Downtown Tempe. With the break in temps and an activity-free Sunday morning available, I thought it was a perfect time to venture down to Mill Avenue and see what…
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…
