Enjoying the Cool Weather

Right now I am sitting in my parents living room in Pinetop, AZ enjoying the cool weather. I needed to get away from the heat, especially being pregnant!

I did a ton of sessions this last week so i'm sitting here working on pictures and trying to catch up! I am still checking email, so if you need to get ahold of me that is the best way. Melanie is in the office as well a little each day and will be checking voice mails.

My Three Sons Designs

A month or so ago I met an awesome lady, Jen. She owns a really cool company called My Three Sons Designs. She makes amazing blankets, onsies, burp cloths, and other yummy things for babys. You should check out her website and buy everyone you know who has a baby one of her soft baby blankets. I bought one for Kailee and she is going to LOVE it.

Well we met up this week and I took some pictures for her for her site. I have only processed a few of them so far, but wanted to show you some of her products for little girls! More pictures will be coming as I finish up the boy stuff.

I also want to thank Blissful Living Studio for allowing me to use the studio to shoot these in. If you want to do something really fun this summer check out some of the classes that the studio is offering.

Happy Fathers Day Daddy!!!

My dad is an amazing amazing man and I couldn't imagine life without him. He has been such an integral part of my life and has made me much of who I am. This fathers day I wanted to do a tribute post to him. I found a bunch of old pictures and thought I would share some of them with you all!!

Above and below are some old pictures of my dad when he was younger.



His 9th grade and Senior Year.


This is where it gets special to me... that is me on his chest. Looking back at these, this is one of my favorite pictures of all times.

My dad holding my sister in the hospital and standing back watching his 2 girls show off their new easter dresses. He has always been there for us through thick and thin.



Daddy's little girl..... and helping to show off my new roller skates.


On my wedding day dancing with my daddy was such an important thing. I love these two pictures. I am so blessed to have pictures of my dad and I growing up throughout the years... this is why I think photography is soooo important because it captures those memories that 29 years later mean more than anything else.


He has been an amazing husband....


And an amazing Bopa (Grandpa).

Truly dad, you mean the world to me. Thank you for sticking around all these years, thank you for loving your family, thank you for raising 2 girls even when it wasn't easy, thank you for loving us, your wife, your family, and GOD. Thank you for showing us true love and for being an amazing man of God. Thank you for being you.

I couldn't say it better than one of my other favorite pictures of all time.....

Little Landon DeWall

I think this is about the 7th session I have done for the DeWall family and I love it every time they call me!! About 4 weeks ago they welcomed their 2nd little guy into the world, Landon. He is so adorable and I had a wonderful time taking pictures of him!

I did things a little differently this time and I hope that I really captured this little guy! He was so different than his brother at this age and it was so funny. Aiden, his brother was asleep the entire time we did his newborn session but Landon was wide awake and not sure if he was too happy about pictures... but we got some great ones and I love it!!!


Little Baby behinds are just soo cute!









This is a new favorite of mine, just so beautiful and intimate!


Babies are not always happy getting their pictures taken, but it's ok, it's who they are:)











Such a beautiful little boy!



Details!!!!

Thanks DeWall family!!! I love helping to capture these memories for you! You are such an amazing family!!!

Karen and Jerry's Album

We have finished another album design and LOVE it!!!

Karen and Jerry were married in January of this year at the Royal Palms Hotel. She had a lot of requests on this album and really wanted a lot of pictures in the book. She really liked the collage style layout so we did something a little different than we usually do for albums. It might be a little busy to some people, but I think others will LOVE it.

All albums that we do are custom designed. We put A LOT of work into them to make sure they are perfect for our clients. They really are the final touch to the perfect day!

I'd love to hear your feedback on the design of this one to see if it's something more people would like to see.

Dyer and Ferris, LLC

It's always fun to do something totally different that i've never done before. I get a little nervous and excited at the same time. That is what happened when Mike Dyer, from Dyer and Ferris, LLC called and asked me to take headshots of his Law firm. I was excited to do something a little different.

We got some great shots... very corporate! We pulled out the lighting and did some basic set up shots that they could use on their website.

I thought I would share a few!

The Pregnant Belly!!! - Part 1

I have had many requests to see pictures of my belly.... and although this is very hard for me to post up here for the world to see I had to do it!!!

I am so lucky to have wonderful friends who are photographers! My friend Jennifer Bowen went out with Jamie and I a few weeks ago and took "Maternity" pictures! It was so weird being on the other side of the camera, and in all actuality this if the first time in our lives that we have actually gotten "professional pictures" taken of us... I know, I know.. sad huh?

But, all in all we had such a great time and i'm really happy with the pictures, although I am too critical of myself:):).

It was a fun experience because Jen was making me do things that I make my clients do and I didn't realize what I put you all through to get great pictures:):) But it's worth it right??

So, here are just a few... I haven't had a chance to go through all of them, so once I do I will post additional ones!

Thanks Jennifer for doing this for us... we will cherish them forever!!

Wedding Wire

I have joined a community called Wedding Wire, which is a great resource for all Bride and Grooms! It's actually affiliated with Martha Stewart. They have wedding websites, wedding vendor reviews, and a ton more to offer.

I would love it if some of my past clients would leave a review on the site for me! Even Portrait clients can leave a comment, as I want all people to know how I work.

If you click the link below it should take you to a location to leave a review.
