Peters Family – AZ Family Photography
I missed blogging these images so I thought I’d come back and share the cuteness of this little family! Miss Cameron was a ball of energy when we did these so we did our best to “PLAY” and capture her/them! She is such a cutey and I love the interaction of her with mom and dad…
Mommy Sarah has a unique business I’d never heard of before. It’s a company that can bring you baby gear/equipment, if you are travelling and can’t bring all the things you need! With all the extra charges these days on airlines it would be nice to not have to pack a stroller, pack n play, car seats and all other big items for a vacation! They can even bring the items straight to the airport! Check out their site if you know anyone travelling that might benefit from baby equipment rentals. For local service go to sweetpeababyrentals.com or for other locations check out babytravelpros.com.
Wittkamper Family
This family travelled to Arizona for a hot summer vacation taking advantage of lots of swimming and poolside activities at the Marriott Canyon Villas. This is little Sadie and I can’t get over her or this shot..she is to die for cute!

The whole family was just as nice as can be and great troopers shooting in the heat!

Come on, isn’t this adorable? They look so happy together, no doubt many years of marriage under their belt.
Here’s Riley with his beautiful eyes.
And one more of Sadie because I just can’t resist posting a color shot as well!
Thanks Wittkamper family for trusting me with your family shoot! It was wonderful meeting/working with you…oh and being your “long lost cousin for the day.” =)
Skidmore Family – AZ Family Photography
I went out with Erica a couple of weeks ago to get some updated images of her kids to surprise her husband for Father’s Day. From what I hear, little Kamryn and Preston have already spoiled the suprise to dad because they were so excited to share…but actually seeing the images is definitely more fun than hearing there was a photo shoot.
Here’s a sneak peek of some of my favorites from their session. These two oldest kids were so cute with each other I was quite jealous, I can never get my kids to love each other for photos…

Kamryn was a doll. She had so much personality…just fun, giggly, silly and super outgoing…we had a blast playing together.
Little Bailee was almost 9weeks old. Usually I recommend baby photos being done in the first two weeks, but since Erica was just referred we did our best to make up for the lack of “newborn” photos. I was really happy to get these sleepy photos of her…you can never go back to when your babies are so little so it’s nice to have some good pics to remember them so small.

And check out big brother Preston. He was a ham, and for a toddler, pretty agreeable! I’m sure mom could say otherwise at times, but he sure was a breeze for me =)
And…saving the best for last…I just LOVE this photo of the beautiful Erica with her kids. I seriously think this would be great as a canvas…if for no other reason then a daily reminder that all the difficult times of parenting are truly WORTH it. =)
I am really excited to be featured as the “Portrait Photographer of the Week” over at Collages.net. This is the place I do all of my online image hosting. They have a marketing team that selects events to highlight and my photos from the “Johnston Family” were selected to be featured this week. There are SO MANY talented photographers they work with all over the country, so I feel very honored to have one of my amazing clients featured! Click on this link to see the write up/more images.
Here’s a few more images from my session with the Johnston’s….
Sharing some candy…

Oh he will appreciate this one someday!!
Stenquist Family – Desert Photography
This session was so much fun and had some great color we rarely get to see here in the Arizona desert!!
Check out the eyes on little Connor
I also love this shot of Zach…sometimes it’s hard to capture those beautiful eyes through the glasses since there is so much reflection everywhere…this one turned out great.
Thanks Jared, Christy!!
McMurdie Family
I love this family. It’s been about 4 years since I last updated their family photo and with another child (now toddler) in the family they were VERY OVERDUE! I was happy to see that Todd scheduled this for his wife for Mother’s Day…what more would a Mom want? I mean really guys…women eat this up!!
The boys are just too darn adorable…but don’t let this fool you, they are actually monkeys and within minutes of this photo they were ALL high up in trees =) Even little Zach!
And with a house full of boys, I bet these two need some girl time once in awhile! Love this Mom/Daughter photo, so sweet!
Thanks guys, you have about a year or so until I need to start bugging you since you take so long to update =)
Happy Mother’s Day Sherena!!
The love of a Mother
This is Rachel with daughter Sophia…Rachel wanted to be a mother more than anyone I knew for as long as I’ve known her…now she has little Sophia and as you can tell she sure adores her precious gift of being “mommy.”


And a few more shots from their session…
Of course we love Dad’s too! Loved this photo with her Daddy.
So cute…
These kids are just cute…my cousin’s kids from Utah. Love the mischievous looks on those boys.
