Meet baby Tate!

I loooove newborn sessions. They are even more fun when I've photographed the family previously. If you scroll down on my blog for a bit you will see their family maternity pictures! They are such a beautiful family and I'm so glad I was able to capture these special moments with them.

Dudek Family

What a difference a year can make! Just over a year ago I was taking this little guys newborn pictures. Now he's such a grown up little guy, and mom is expecting his sister! I love this family. I think they are so adorable and I'm sorry if I over shared here, but I just loved how their pictures turned out.

Homer Family

Meet the Homer Family!

At first I almost said no to this session, I mean, have you been outside lately?? 100+ temperatures every single day. But then I discovered that the mom was due with her third baby, 8 months pregnant, and was willing to brave the heat. So I decided if she could do it, then I could do it. (If you missed the previous announcement I am pregnant with my third as well, due in January.)

We shot about 45 minutes before the sunset and it was actually not that bad. It wasn't too hot and we had a blast! I loved this session and loved how their pictures turned out. I'm so glad I decided to do it! It was so nice to be shooting again and it got me so excited for the upcoming picture season.

**If you are wanting fall pictures PLEASE book ASAP. I will not be taking booking in December, and I'm not sure how far into November I will want to work. So September and October are your best bet and they are already filling up!**

Let Them Be Little- Max edition

Today is a bittersweet day for me. Today my baby boy turns 2 years old!  I know it's cliche to say this, but I don't know where the time went!  I love this little boy with all my heart, and I just can't believe that two years have already flown by.  So today I decided my Let Them Be Little post would feature him and one of his favorite activites.

He just LOVES to play basketball.  A trait he has obviously inherited from his daddy. 

 Yes I made it!!

 Oh man... I missed.

Happy Birthday little buddy!

Let Them Be Little- June Edition

This past month I've really tried to take this concept of "Let them be little" to heart. I've gotten my camera out more often, and tried to catch some of the everyday moments. I've also been trying to do more fun activities with my kids. They only get to be small once, and I want to make sure they get the best childhood they can get. So here's a little of what we've been up to the last month.

Remember that this is a blog circle!! Go check out what my incredibly talented friends have been up to! Starting with the lovely Laura!  Click here: http://www.myeverydayblessings.com/2013/06/19/let-them-be-little-june/

Joshua & Brieanna's Engagement Preview

I had the opportunity to photograph another couple on Saturday. We had so much fun and they were really good sports. We did a lot of walking around Downtown Mesa and it was HOT outside. As we are now in triple digits here in the valley, I think it's safe to say that this was my last session for the season. I will however still be doing indoor sessions, lifestyle family sessions and newborns.

This also may be a good time to mention that I just found out that I am pregnant with baby #3!!!

I am due early January so I am not sure how long into fall I will be taking sessions. If you are planning of a fall session, I know I will be taking sessions in October, but I am not sure about November, and definitely nothing in December. Just something to keep in mind!

Anyway, onto to these adorable pictures!

 Congratulations you two!!

Neppl Family

I love this family. This is my 3rd time taking pictures for them and I think they get more adorable each time! We took these in Downtown Mesa. It's a place I've been many times before, but it's a place you can see differently each time you go. We found some really cool spots! This session was so much fun, and I hope that's apparent in these pictures.  Enjoy these!
