Christy and Andrew

Can you get much more in love than this couple? Um...I think not. I don't have words for how much I enjoyed my time with them. I have a ton of great pics...I feel terrible that its taken me so long to post just this few here...but I have been just swamped. I couldn't wait one more day to share a few with everyone.
This is love...

Our little "audience"

Aren't they cute?? This is our little "audience" when we are getting ready for work in the mornings. They are so cute that its actually distracting b/c I have to stop and give kisses!






























And...since I'm gushing anyway---who's the cutest puppy in the world?? Shanti is. Its a good thing she's so cute, too, because she is a little pistol!

Pretty high "cuteness factor"

What a fun baby. I love this age--sitting up but not really on the move yet. They are just a fun time waiting to happen. And this little pumpkin---well, she scores pretty high on the cuteness factor!

fun in Phoenix

Guess who's the princess of the family here? I think this is the sweetest little girl in the world and she has totally amazing big brothers (and Mommy and Daddy) who adore her. "Fun" would be an understatement--I had a blast. I love her face in the last pic...she was giving a big "mush" of a hug.

Absolutely stunning...

I had an amazing time with this stunning mom-to-be last week. She was so beautiful, inside and out. It makes such a huge difference in the session when things are comfortable and relaxed. When someone is brave enough to really open up it just shows in the images. I can't wait for the proofing---I just know she's going to love these! And look how cute when the clothing is from their own closet...

Fun boys...

Pat and I had a great time with these two brothers recently. It was a lot of fun to leave the studio and get to spend time at their home instead. And it was a lot of fun to get to work with some kiddos that were a little bit "older". They were both really great kids and it was such a pleasure to spend some time getting to know them...and that is what I really hope comes through whenever I have a session...an essence of the person that they are inside. Without a lot of distraction or clutter...just them.

They were adorable together. So close. And they had a fabulous tree in the back yard to play with. What fun! I know I sort of went crazy putting so many pics on the blog, but I just can't help myself. There were so many great ones to choose from!

Look at these gorgous eyes

This was fun!

Its really fun (and often challanging) when I get to go to a client's home and make use of their space and their "stuff". I've taken portraits of this little guy since he was a newborn and it is always such a treat to spend time with him and his beautiful mommy. Today we even got to include the other "child" in the family--an adorable bulldog. Fun morning!
