Baby Alice | Goodyear Newborn and Maternity Photographer

I was able to do a quick mini maternnity session the day before Kristy was due. Sweet little baby Alice made her appearance yesterday. I was able to go to the hospital and get some newborn images to capture this once in a lifetime memory for the family.  I am in love with those adorable little chubby cheeks.  Ahhh..the sweetness of newborns.webalice1alice web3alice web 2

Family Photographer | Goodyear

I had so much fun with this great family. When mom and I talked about what she was looking for,  she let me know that she was looking for easy going, casual portraits. We decided to use the kids’ video game and sports gear to personalize their session. I LOVE the way these came out. I had a hard time picking only a few.  You have to love this adorable family!

Happy Thanksgiving

What a wonderful year we have had. I feel so blessed to have my wonderful husband, family and friends. I am sitting at my computer, floors are freshly mopped, kids are in bed and pies are made. I can’t help thinking about all of the blessings God has given me in my life. I have the best clients in the world and love capturing their lives. I have the best business partner and SIL in the world. I am so happy to be able to live the dream and photograph sweet little people and their families. :) I am looking forward to another wonderful year.happy turkeydaypba

I want to get some background information on how to go about this or what all the "behind the scenes" jobs are. If you can please get back to me, I'd appreciate it. :) thanks.

What To Wear | Phoenix Photographer

Its time for another what to wear idea.  Don’t feel like you have to match everyone exactly. Take a dress or shirt with a fun print and pull colors out of that piece. Everyone will look great together.3604840283_22d3ce1dee

I am in love with a certain blue and silver piece…hint..hint..Kurtis.  Janna was so beautiful and fun to work with.  I can’t wait to see which photo she chooses for her website.  janna5janna webjannaweb4
