For Krystle

What did I say? Did I not say my world is full of beautiful people! Did I also mention I love my job? YES! YES! YES!
I met this darling family bright and early Saturday morning down in Tempe. Little Kaylinn's (spelling?) spunk and good nature was totally infectious, and all of us had a really fun time. This little beauty is FULL of energy, so we mostly just followed her around capturing the cuteness in the rare moments where she slowed down a little. Families like this make my job so easy! Enjoy!!





This is what it looks like when the Light Rail passes by 15 feet away! Pure Wonder!



Do you think she's loved?






I love those little toes peaking through!

For Jesse

Seriously? I think when I put my camera strap over my head, I am transported to the land of beautiful people- where the wind blows your hair in just the right direction and you don't ever have a bad side! --- ENTER JESSE ---
Is this not the most gorgeous senior ever? She reminds me of a young Meg Ryan! This girl has got it together, she's beautiful, an aspiring artist, and STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT, and best of all? She was super nice, sweet and down to earth. I love that her mom looked at a lot of pictures online and made 2 decisions-
1. Jesse needed a turquise shirt for the RR tracks, (sweet, new shirt for Jesse!) and
2. They should bring an awesome antique chair. I LOVED IT!
Hope you love 'em Jesse!

For Shea and Her Parents

Oh. My. Gosh. Did you ever see such a beautiful dychotomy of color? What a dream shoot! Look at these gorgeous people! Look at that gorgeous baby! Ahhhh...I love my job.

I was a little (read: A LOT!) nervous about this shoot for a couple reasons--
#1- Dad is a great photographer, and shooting photographers is crazy nerve-wracking!
#2- This little beauty is already 5 weeks old...and sometimes by 5 weeks babies have a mind of their own about when they will/will not sleep, how they will/will not pose, and they generally do NOT like being naked.
Guess what? NOT SHEA! When we wanted her awake, she woke up. When we wanted her to sleep- see ya later! On her back, on her tummy, fully dressed, totally naked...she was just happy as a clam! Here is your sneak peek M and R- hope you love them as much as I do!

And The Winner Is...

CARSYN!!! What did Carsyn win you ask? While I'm sure she could win several things, like contests for being ridiculously cute, or best hair, Carsyn actually wins for most times appearing on the photoblog! This is Carsyn's third appearance, and I'll be darned if she doesn't get cuter every time! (Of course it doesn't hurt to have a mom who is a hair dresser and makes sure she looks like a hair model every time she steps out the door!) Oh yes, if you happen to know Carsyn or her parents, the ASU pictures are a surprise for her dad for Father's Day, so SSHHHHH, Don't say a word!

I L-O-V-E this picture! I couldn't decide whether I liked color or black and white better, so what the heck- here's both!

Anissa

I met this darling 8 year old (yes, I know, much too beautiful to be only 8!!!) on Monday for a quick 1st communion session. (I will be photographing the whole family in a few weeks) She was absolutely as cute on the inside as the outside, and has a smile that lit up the room! She and her mom told me a little about 1st communion, and it sounds like a very special time, so I was glad to be able to help capture a small moment of it!

For Ashley #2

Here is the second half of Ashley's shoot. This little guy is everything a mother dreams of- alert, active, awake, etc. Unfortunately, those are the opposite of what a photographer wants while "shooting" babies! Luckily he is darn cute, and we got some great shots while he took is 34 second nap, and some others while he was wide awake!
It was great to meet your beautiful family Ashley- enjoy!











Why do I love this pictures so much???? I LOVE IT!
