Carson turns ONE

You figure if you schedule your session in mid-October in Phoenix that you probably have nice weather.  Well, unfortunately this time of year tends to yield wacky weather at times.  This shoot was the HOT weekend in October…but we survived!!    You just never know what you are going to get this time of year, [...]

You figure if you schedule your session in mid-October in Phoenix that you probably have nice weather.  Well, unfortunately this time of year tends to yield wacky weather at times.  This shoot was the HOT weekend in October…but we survived!!  :)   You just never know what you are going to get this time of year, but I will admit that I am enjoying my window open as I write this post with a chilly breeze blowing though.  The B Family really wanted to capture candid pictures of them and their sweet little guy, Carson…who was turning ONE the very next day!!  We captured some great ones…I love his beautiful brown eyes!!  Here are some of my favorites…

Can I say again that I love this photography gig??!!  Our friends’, A & M welcomed Miss Sadie into the world two weeks ago!!  She is such a beautiful little girl with the most perfectly round little noggin!!  As sweet as she is I have to tell you that she wins the prize for most peeing and pooing on a session and she did all of it on her wonderful Mama!!  :)   It is always such a sweet pleasure to photograph my friends’ families and new little ones…really a joy!!  M is an awesome photographer herself you can check her out here.

Thanks again M & A!!  Congratulations on your beautiful little girl.  All the sleepless nights are worth every moment!!

My family and I traveled up north this last weekend to hang out with friends and take some pictures.  We have been blessed to be part of the L family’s life for the last ten years!!  God’s timing is always perfect.  A and I worked together at Claim Jumper ten years ago and we both got engaged about a month from each other.  We connected because of engagement & work, but quickly found out that we both had lots more than that in common including a love for Jesus.  Well, long story short…we got married 5 months apart from each other, G was an awesome support to my hubby getting on the fire department where he was already a firefighter, our kiddos are all just a couple of months apart from each other and we have been blessed big time to have them all in our lives!!  I always count it a privilege to photograph my friends as their families grow and through their seasons of life.  We were up in Munds Park for their session which was awesome to see the trees changing colors and the leaves on the ground!!  Just beautiful!!  Thanks for having us up guys…love you!  Here are a few of my favorites of our time together!!

Yes…all three munchkins looking in the direction of the camera… :)

This one of Miss Addison may look like different scenery than the rest…we had to do this picture in Phoenix because it was too chilly up north, but we needed at least one with her in an adorable petty skirt!!  :)

This little girl is really loved on by her brothers…sometimes the squeezes are a little tight, but one day she is going to LOVE their big brother protection…or not – hee hee!!

I love my amazing job of being a wife & mommy, but I am so blessed to have this photography gig too for so many reasons!!  One…it is such a small world!  When I got to this shoot and was talking to L about working for Scottsdale Fire and making connections with people we both know…the fire community is small in itself, but then…K turns around and says I think we went to the same high school.  Haha!!  Yes, we did!!  She graduated the same year as one of my brothers!!  I love this job!!  Crazy small world…I love it!!

Well, let’s get back to the star of the show…first of all I am in love with this little guy’s name.  I may be a little partial, I was born in Stockton!!  Is it such a strong name!!  He is definitely going to be a cowboy like his Daddy!!  His middle name is one that has been passed on from generations before…I love that.  He was such a good little guy throughout our shoot and once he was asleep he let us move him here & there without a peep!  We did our entire shoot outside which living in Phoenix is so doable!!  The light is amazing first of all and the babies seem to just love being outdoors!!  I had such a wonderful time with this sweet family.  Stockton is truly a gift that was long in the waiting…Congrats on a beautiful boy!!
