My sweet sister

2011-04-30T13:57:00.000-07:00

This is my sister Keshia. She is having a little boy but because of complications she will be losing her little one. I can't explain the heart ache and pain we have all felt with this ordeal but I can't even imagine what she is going through. With just having a baby myself, I am lost for words to explain how I feel for Keshia and her unborn baby boy. Keshia has decided that she still wants to have all the joys of being pregnant and being a new Mom. She is so brave and strong and that's what I most love about her. These are her precious maternity pictures with little baby Jackson Scott.

So In Love

2011-04-30T13:42:00.001-07:00

I just love a good engagement shoot. Reminds me of when I was getting married. I love the new feelings and how exciting everything is. Unfortunately they don't last long and it becomes something you have to work at instead of it just happening naturally. But for now these two are madly in love and celebrating it. Can't wait for the wedding at the end of May!

TWINS!

2011-04-30T13:03:00.000-07:00

My dear friend had twins a week before I had mine. Of course I had to get pictures of them even though I had just had a baby. They were almost two weeks old already which made the shoot very difficult. I was at her house 3 days in a row, each post took almost an hour. One baby would be sleeping the other would be crying and vice versa. But after all our hard work we got some great shots. I am very excited to introduce Harlow and Graycen!

This is Graycen

I am back!

I have had my precious little baby and now ready to get back to shooting. I had so much fun taking pics of my new little guy so I thought I would share. I took the first 2 weeks of his life starting at 4 days old taking tons of pictures. Here is just a few of them. This first one is probably my favorite. This pose took 3 days of trying over and over. This one he was so mad and just wanted to be left alone. But I just had to try one more time and this is what I got. He is not yawning he is CRYING! So sad but I eventually got what I wanted which made it all worth it. Sorry my sweet Boston.

2010-09-29T09:11:00.000-07:00

I have been meaning to update this blog for a very long time now. I just can't seem to keep caught up. I have done so many shoots in the past 6 months and have wanted to share them all. I did so many that I was only able to upload one or two pics of each shoot. I will be updating my website in the next couple of weeks so if you want to see more pics of these shoots, check out my website. My goal is to post right after a shoot. We'll see how that works out. Here are just some of what I have been up to these past several months.

What a busy time!

2010-02-23T15:38:00.000-08:00

I don't know why it is so hard for me to keep this blog updated. Maybe cause I feel like no one really looks at it so I just keep putting it off. I do like to use this blog to easily put up my new work. So I will continue to do so as much as I can. I went a little crazy this holiday season and did WAY to much. I ended up doing 2 weddings and 15 family/newborn shoots. I was editing photos for hours and hours. I had a lot of late nights and was very stressed out. I will definitely plan a little better this year. It was all worth it though and I had a fantastic time. I am planning on rebuilding my website so I can put up my new stuff and update it a little. I have new galleries to add and can't wait for everyone to see it. That is my next project and hopefully will have it done soon.

I recently did a photo shoot with a photographer that I just think is so awesome and admire very much. Marnee Marriott. She invited me to help her out with a Bridal promo she was doing with Camelback Inn and the Royal Palms. We had 3 models and lots of dresses to shoot. I had a blast and can't thank her enough for the opportunity. If you would like to check out her work and what we did go to her website www.marriottphoto.com.

Here is all the work I have done in the past several months. Keep posted to see my updated website.

New Pics!

2009-10-13T22:47:00.000-07:00

I am finally getting a post up. I have been so insanely busy. I am going to try real hard to post my pics right after a session. I always get so behind and have to upload so many pics just to get caught up. These sessions have been done in the last couple of months. I still have my nephews 12 month shoot to post. Probably will get that done next week. Hope you enjoy these pics I got done so far. I just got back from Sedona yesterday where I attended a photography seminar. Don MacGregor put it on and I really had a great time. Learned so much and just love photography and love learning more and more about it. I am excited for the experience with hopes of becoming a better photographer.

Reynolds Family

I can't tell you how much I love these pictures. This shoot went so good and I got some amazing pics of this adorable family. I loved the colors, I love Macie, I love how cute they all look together, I love how they worked the camera, and I loved how easy they were to shoot. Everything was FANTASTIC!! Probably one of my favorite shoots. I couldn't just pick a few and there were so many others I wanted to post. But here are my most favorite ones.

Shannon and Shawn Getting Married

Rian 2 Years Old

OH MY GOSH! I just love, love, love these pics. This is my best friends Katie little girl Rian and we had such a fun time dressing her up and taking so many good pics of her. I of course couldn't pick just one or two so I picked a ton. She threw a huge fit at the end and did not want to take anymore pics, just love her face in them though.

Hatch Family

This is my brother Logan and his family. You may recognize them, I take all their pics. What a freakin cute family.

Bennett/Woods Family

2009-04-05T23:56:00.001-07:00

This is the Woods and Bennett Family photo shoot. It was really windy that day so we had to change from doing the shoot outside to inside at the last minute. I prefer outside but we made it work. After the group shots the kids headed outside playing all over the place so I tried to capture as many pics as I could of them. They were hard to catch!

Try taking a picture of 19 children. Well this is what it looks like!

This is the sweet couple who started it all.

Elizabeth, Matt, and Jackson

I just can't find the words to express how much I love precious little babies. Being a Mom myself, I feel a love so strong that it hurts. Capturing these babies shortly after they have enter this world is so unbelievably incredible for me. This is why I do photography, this is my passion, this is what keeps me going!
