Just a ‘lil tease…. {phoenix family photographer}

Some may call me biased, but there is no doubt in my mind about a few important things…

  1. I have super cool clients
  2. My super cool clients have awesome-cute-adorable-full-of-personality kiddos.
  3. My super cool clients and their awesome-cute-adorable kids are seriously stylish folks.
  4. My super cool seriously hip clients and their awesomely cute adorably stylish kids are head-over-heels, to the moon crazy in love with each another.
  5. The whole entire downtown area makes for one crazy inspired phoenix family photographer.
  6. I am one seriously lucky, super blessed, awesomely grateful photographer.

End of story. No argument.  That’s just the way it is.

Here’s a teaser of Saturday’s family photo session  at Heritage Square (a great spot for phoenix family photography).  Obviously – this picture doesn’t show you what the parents look like…but will you check out those crazy beautiful kids?!

As you can just imagine, Mom and Dad are also supermodel gorgeous.  What you can’t tell from the photo is that they are also beyond sweet and gracious, totally chill and talented artists to boot.  But don’t just take my word for it,  you’ll have to check back later to see for yourselves…

I love my job. Love it. Not only do I get to pay my bills with my camera (seriously, how cool is that? I still get giddy just thinking about it), but I also get to connect with the most amazing people.  Each of my clients touches me in some way, teaches me something new and leaves me with fresh insight into the art and craft of photography.

I get all sorts of clients.  Shy ones.  Goofy ones.  Quiet ones.  Loud ones.  Lots and lots of silly, giggly ones.  Every now and then I get to work with a family whose love is so sweet and tender that it flows through each and every interaction.  The Maston’s were one of those families.

Rich works for Lauren’s Institute for Education, and was the first one to contact me to take advantage of the matching print credit I offer for donations to their Rock The Budget campaign.  I met with Rich, his lovely wife Adria (isn’t that the most beautiful name?) and his two beautiful kiddos, Ryder and Maggie, at a local park.  We braved the heat, climbed some trees and explored the area to find some cool spots for pictures.  In the process I got the opportunity to observe the quiet, loving connection that Rich and Adria had with the kids, and with each other, and all I had to do was have my camera ready to capture it.

Did I mention that I love my job?

Sneak Peek: Marie | Phoenix Maternity Photographer

It’s no secret that I love maternity photography – and this session was no exception. After all, who wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to capture a knockout gorgeous redhead and her adorable family during such an important time of their lives? As if that’s not luck enough, I’m waiting to get the call that Marie has gone into labor (any day now!) so that I can go be with them and photograph the arrival of their second son.

We headed to yet another fantastic downtown Phoenix location and the family played and hung out while I snapped photos, then Marie and I snuck away for a few fashion-esque solo shots.  Isn’t she a knock out?!

In addition to being a beautiful mama, Marie is also a knitter extraordinaire (check out the fabulous diaper cover in this post) and I’ll be posting images some of her wonderful creations in several upcoming posts. If you are a photographer looking for fabulous diaper covers, hats, cocoons and wraps, stay tuned for more details!

Tamara & Her Boys | Phoenix Family Photography

Just digging through my archives again from my blogging hiatus and thought I’d post this fun family shoot. Tamra and her sons had recently undergone some pretty big life changes, and she really wanted to capture some fun shots with the most precious people in her life, her handsome boys.

When I arrived at their home, the boys weren’t completely sold on giving up their play time to take pictures so I did what any sensible photographer would do – we morphed photo session into play time and headed out for ice cream! Phoenix landmark Mary Coyle’s provided the perfect backdrop for fun family pictures – and who can resist boys with chocolate ice cream faces!

Before the holidays this year I got the opportunity to take photos of Tamara and her beautiful family.  We headed to a local park only to find out that we had apparently chosen the most popular family photography date of the year – we had to share the best spots with about eight other photographers!  Despite waiting in line on occasion, we managed to capture some of my favorite kind of shots – beautiful, spontaneous interaction and a whole lot of love!
