I set out to document a party of 19...and half of those were under age 18...and lets just say, "fun creative and a lot of energy" are the appropriate words to describe the day...we were successful in capturing all we set out to do.... and felt mighty proud we did it all under 2 hours. Whoo Hoo! Rink Family Fun!
]]>I have been photographing this family for several years and have watched as they have transitioned from a family of 2 to now a family of 4. Being a mommy myself I can fully appreciate the demands of motherhood and the changes ones body undergoes. Despite baby weight gain this mommy, Erica, has been fully committed to reclaiming her health and physique with her method using Shakeology....and it has worked! Was a wonderful treat to photograph One Fit Mommy....and her husband and beautiful daughters.... A Calderon Christmas.... thanks ya'll...exited to see what 2016 has in store for you!

]]>Between these 5 wonderful people there were smiles a plenty....contagious smiles actually.... no need to "work" at getting these folks to have a good time....they came prepared and was easy to capture! Love to watch these kiddos grow....Congrats on a beautiful family!
-Cassandra
]]>Returning to the place where it all began.... helped these two love birds document their engagement photos at this location only to return to document how beautiful their family has grown and continues to grow! Pregnant mommies are the most beautiful.... congratulations again James and Kristi.... and to big sister Shae... enjoy!

UPDATE... all edited and ready to view.... somehow bubbles just brings out the best in everyone.... blessed to have been able to document this family several times over... thanks again Cahill Family!
It was a welcomed return to Saguaro Ranch for this family.... 8 year ago this family started at their wedding ceremony.... and we captured their first addition Kiera shortly after.... several years later, we returned there for family photos.... weather cleared up perfectly and gave us a wonderful backdrop.... the kids were great, excited, and full of spirit... and parents the same... truly a treasure to document families from their earliest stages and beyond... congrats! (more to come... only got to the solo shots first!)

Love when I get to share my love for photography with family.... and what a blessing to not only witness the reunification of a mom and son but the transformation of a life.... Miss Angelique has, with the help of God, turned her situation around and is enjoying all the special moments mothers do when they spend their life loving and raising their children.... We had a lot of fun and miss ya'll already.
love,
Cassandra

What a joy to watch two little people take part in their first Communion....where they took of the bread and drank the wine symbolizing Jesus's body and blood for our salvation. Such a pleasure to watch little people love a big God and remember Him in this Holy Communion....

Sincerely,

]]>Always a good time shooting this wonderful family... from the very start with maternity... to now all 3 generations enjoying family... both sides of their families were present for this one... and mama Erica is as fit as can be... only 1 year out of having her 2nd child and looking fantastic! ...making me think a bit about those cookies I ate while editing their photos.... hmmmmmmmm....add a serving police officer for a dad and whalaa! Awesome family status!
Enjoy and very thankful you gave me the opportunity, again, to photograph you wonderful and growing family!

Only the talented Miss April Coleman could pull off a fantastic wedding such as this one in just under 3 months.... everything was beautifully designed and the bride... well, lets just say drop dead gorgeous.... both bride and groom were stunning in their own right... considering these factors... this was practically a wedding photographers dream! Congrats again to you both... and credit to April Coleman for putting together such a great event...
Sincerely,
Cassandra
]]>Love helping out a friend/colleague of mine who just happens to cut my son's hair.... do my makeup and hair occasionally.... and offer a great opportunity to participate in decorating her new salon opening within the next few weeks.... Miss Juanita took care of styling, hair, and makeup for this session..... and considering the diversity of the models, what a treat for me to get the chance to capture their unique beauty.... can't wait to see some of these on her walls....
love taking pictures of beautiful women....

I remember when i first met her.... she was an intern at the intensive outpatient substance abuse program...I still work at, and now she does too... she was funky, fun, laid back and easy to relate to... we quickly found out we shared an interest in photography and became good friends...and still are! also, we were both trying to get pregnant... we worked together for nearly a year, I ended up having my first and then back to back my 2nd.... and she was still playing around with the idea of having a baby.... and then it happened! Surely it is all in Gods timing.... and I am so happy for her and Zack to be welcoming in their little baby C in just a few short weeks... loved the shower, awesome theme w/all the books and wonderful family and friends... another laid back, "Tara" style event... can't wait to hear her birth story and snap away at that little adorable baby growing in her belly... Enjoy!
ps. considering how much she has helped with both my maternity and newborn sessions...and mommy and me...and family... I will owe her many many sessions in the future... i planted the seed for a wild flower mommy and me just yesterday... gonna love it!

]]>A quick Mommy and Me session in the beauty God has created... yellows, oranges, purples.... absolutely beautiful...and having a family of lovely ladies to photograph.... makes it serene... this season of wild flowers only comes once a year and the last time I was at this particular spot was when my baby girl was only 6 months old.... so blessed to be able to freeze in time the joy of motherhood for years to enjoy ahead... for myself, and other lovely mothers...
]]>A Pastor flying in from California...a grand mother flying in from Ecuador...a hyped up bridal party... several dozen friends and family joining in to celebrate and love love love... the best combination for these two love birds to make that final commitment... a sacred commitment to one another... the heavy winds allowed for some fun shots and nicely settled right before ceremony time... overall beautiful wedding and am feeling honored to have been there to witness and capture it behind the lens.... congrats Paul and Nicole.... may you celebrate many many anniversaries for years to come...
