I love senior shoots! Maria found me through her sister who has a family session booked with me in may! She is the senior class president at Williamsfield High School, she plays tennis, she works, and she is such a sweetheart - and is so naturally beautiful!
Thanks Maria!!

Megan contacted me to do pictures of her siblings and mom for mother's day. How wonderful! So we set a date - the days leading up to it were sooo beautiful - 2 hours before the session, huge dark clouds rolled in - but they braved it out and we only got a few sprinkles! WHEW!

Thanks guys - your family is beautiful!

This cute little fmaily drove down from Flagstaff to have there family pictures taken - we had so much fun! Kelly and her husband are so sweet and their beautiful little girls are so full of personality! Kelly was sooo worried her kids would be to 'rowdy' to get good pictures of - I proved her wrong! :)
Just a little sneak peek to ease mommas worried mind!

I had to start this post with a picture - she is jsut to beautiful not to go first!
This beautiful momma cannot wait for her little man to get here! Dad is pretty excited to! I am at a point in my life where all my friends are getting married or are already married and are having there first baby.
I have known Bobby since i was about 8. His mom worked for my dad, our families became very close - the end. :) Me, bobby & his sisters used to spend alot of time together as little kids - but he and his sisters also lived on the other side of town.
Bobby&Coree CONGRATULATIONS! I cannot wait to meet little cason and do his newborn pictures.

I love when I go to a session not knowing the people at all, and walking away feeling like we have known each other for years and years, thats how I walked away from this session. We have become friends, and she has refereed some more awesome clients to me, Thanks Whitney!
This family is great, and very fun to be around - not to mention kiddos are to die for!!! :)

*still playing catchup!*
This is the wonderful Charise - Her mom & my mom have been friends since they were little tykes (like still in diapers..) We grew up on different sides of town, so we didn't really know each other.. but i sure wish we did. Charise is sooo cool. Not only is she beautiful, she is a ballerina... which I think is so cool. Charise was so fun to take pictures of, she was a complete natural.

Follow your dreams Charise!

This is little Braden - he has made many many appearances here before. In his moms belly, with his whole family.. He is one lucky boy. I have been very good friends with Braden's Aunt since like 7th grade - so i know first hand how great the whole family is. I am soo blessed to have them in my life! Braden is growing up way to fast, considering these are his 'I am one!' pics! Just a few of my favorites to share!

He was totally obsessed with his shoes, which are soo cute!

Playing CATCH-UP!

2010-04-11T23:54:00.000-07:00

I have been HORRIBLE (i think that may be an understatement!!) about blogging - I live in the boondocks (Florence) and the only Internet available to us is satellite, which is only a tad bit faster then dial-up Internet! BOO! But we finally invested in a Verizon Internet card so hopefully I will be more consistent with blogging all my beautiful clients! I have about 8 sessions to blog about - all from March 13th to just this past weekend, so things have been pretty busy here - which I LOVE.

I want to thanks all my great clients for spreading the word about me - I truly appreciate it. I am now booking for the summer - I know it is sooo hot but we can take a little trip to somewhere cooler!

My spring special is over may 31st, I still have 2-3 open days if you are wanting pictures!

Thanks guys!

P.S be on the lookout for my brand spankin NEW blog to be up shortly - SOO excited!

She has got to be one of the prettiest little girls, and she is such a sweetheart (for anyone but her momma, of course:)) Erin is an awesome graphic designer, she did my logo and stuff, she rocks and is so fun to work with! Check out her site, here.
