Baby Ember

I love taking pictures of babies, and taking 1 year old pictures has to be my favorite! This little cutie is turning 1 at the end of this month. So we celebrated with pictures...and a cake! Enjoy.

Tryon Family

Last weekend I went with this cute family to the Riparian Preserve again. I love that place. This time I explored the other half, and there's still more to explore! That place is so big, and so beautiful!  I can't believe I didn't know about it until now.  Enjoy these!

We tried so many times to get a picture of all three of these kids!  The cute little two year old just wanted to run and explore, and his older sister is just bored with the repeated tries.  hehe :)  I still love this picture though!  Look at the eye contact I'm getting from the baby.  The 2 month old is the only one who wants his picture to be taken!

I LOVE this last one!  Thanks Tryon family for letting me take your pictures!

Cutest couple ever, and their dogs

On Saturday evening I had a super fun session. It was this adorable couple and their two dogs! I have never photographed animals before so that was definitely a challenge, but it was so much fun. We went to the Gilbert Riparian Preserve, and that is my new favorite location! It's so beautiful there, and we only went to a few spots. I can't wait to go back and explore the rest! Here's a preview from my session that night.

Hathcock Kids

You may recognize these cuties. This is the second time photographing all 3 of these siblings and the third time taking pictures of little Austin. You can see last year's pictures here, and only if you dare the littlest one's baby pictures.  It was one of the first sessions I ever did and uh...I'm glad I've gotten better since then!

Anyway, I love these kids, and love that I was able to take pictures of them today!

Baby Peter

Happy Mother's Day!  I'm so excited that I got to have a newborn session this morning.  They are my favorite!  This family is so adorable.  I just love seeing people become parents for the first time.

These last two just melt my heart!  Look at the genuine joy on their faces.

Congratulations you guys!  

I Heart Faces Challenge: "Hey Girl"

The I Heart Faces challenge this month is "Hey Girl." So I thought I'd enter this one of my daughter.

Wish me luck!

My girl :)

I've been obsessed with black and white portraiture lately.  I love the emotion it can convey, and how simple it is.  I just had to share these beautiful pictures I took of my daughter yesterday! I hope you love them as much as I do!
