I love meeting new clients! I have come to realize how important my job is as a photographer…beyond the technical knowledge of all things camera, equipment, lighting, etc., I also am responsible for developing and cultivating a relationship with everyone I shoot, especially the kids, in the time that we have together.  I feel so blessed when a family puts their trust in me to capture their day.  Enjoy!

Sometimes things just work out.  I know, sometimes they don’t, but I am an optimist, and I like to say that things DO work out.  We had an uncanny amount of rain this past fall that fell, strangely, just on the weekends.  Quite a few of my sessions had to be rescheduled, or planned differently.  This family was planning on traveling to visit the grandparents in AZ during Thanksgiving week, and funny enough, so was my own family.  So, we decided to reschedule her “rained out” session in AZ.  What luck to both be there at the same time, and then to also include her parents.  We met a Papago Park in Tempe…I loved the variety of spots to shoot, as my regular session backdrop is either the beach or small wooded spaces.  Enjoy!

If you can believe it, I am still catching up on blogging some sessions from late last year! This family is so dear to me, Amy has been a great friend for more than 10 years.  Her family is awesome, one of those you love, but don’t get to spend nearly enough time with.  We zoomed all over the place, took a few photos here, and few photos there, and tried a nice variety of spots.  It’s pretty fun when the kids are a bit older, and can handle getting in and out of the car, etc.  What a fun session, it went all the way until the sun was completely down.  Enjoy the photos!
