Laid back..... no worries.... lets all just get along.... and breastfeed as needed.   Yup, this super star family of 5 was a treasure to work with.... even when little James face planted in the dirt on the way down the hill... finished the session like a super hero.  And mom fed baby as needed... taking care of her baby on a rock in the shade.... no worries...no troubles.... love this family.  

Well this wonderful family has blessed us and added humor and light hearted chatter to our Bible study and fellowship at church...coming just under a year or so ago from Isreal...and now they will return to Isreal!  Blessed to have been able to capture their sweet family....and of course I asked Tikva to speak Hebrew.... it is such a beautiful language.  She speaks Dutch too! 

This little family of ladies are such a sweet bunch....and we have been blessed to have met them.... only took a year or so of shared preschool and kinder classes....and the littlest of them all brought us all together... Amielle and Violet becoming best buds.... Miss Chelsea and her other daughter Vera... her and Stevie play great and Miss Chelsea is a gem!  Pretty outside and inside too... such a sweet bunch.  

When dad said of his graduate...."she wants to do some photos in her point shoes... she is in a creative class" I said, well sure.  What are point shoes and what is a creative class?  IT IS A FULL BLOWN BALLERINA and HER SHOES is what it is!  What a joy it was to take these photos.... leaps, twirls, and a girl full of confidence in stride.... loved this session.  Congrats on the graduation Miss Jessica! 

Yes, that’s right.  One gorgeous cop marries a handsome cop....Kevlar vests.....a gun cake..... with a donut bar and all.  What a treat it was!  This cute couple made it official and words cannot express how magical the two, when together, were.  Her face lit up with a smile unmatchable and his charm did not disappoint.  A few bumps in the road but between these two public servants everything worked out and was an exciting event... meaningful, unforgettable, and blessed to have been able to help document it with photography.  Congratulations Randy and Mandy! 

Love events like this..... Celebrating a sweet young ladies 16th birthday and welcoming her into continued maturity....to womanhood...  having family and friends honor her and love on her.... and getting to capture it all behind the lens.  Proud of this young lady and what a pleasure it was to hear all the kind words spoken about her...... May God bless her and continue to guide her as she continues her journey.  Congrats Alisha!!  

Impressed and excited....2 words that come to mind when thinking about Ian.  Following in the footsteps of his late grandfather Jerome, this fine young man not only rocked the camera but is selflessly signing up to serve our country.... enlisting with the Marines!  Very Very Proud of this young man and excited for his future....blessed to know him..... Congrats Ian!!!

Spoiled.  Yes I know.  Most of my clients are in the west valley or at the farthest, central Phoenix.  So when I receive a request to shoot at a location over 40 miles away..... anxiety sets in.  Knowing how unlikely it would be for me to scope the location prior to our shoot date just added to the typical prep anxiety for any shoot.... Despite the nerves the location was a blessing... easy to navigate and locations were abundant.  Surely my other east valley families will benefit from this new location to my shot list....  Thank you Carrie for challenging me to this site!  Congratulations on Hunters graduation..... stay well and continue to take good care of your boys!
