And will leave you figuring out how to get your hands on MoRe!

yeah. they're. that. good.

Selections of the unrivaled ThRiFty IcE CrEaM is also offered

to take the bite out of our AZ temperatures. 

These girls were a riot to watch,

squealing over the delish treats, perfectly decorated bakery,

and polished checkerboard floor. 

.

 Eye candy in every direction!

.

We had a blast setting up a few cute scenarios

in the bakery.

So for tantalizing treats like No  OtHeR,

grab a friend and get yourselves to

Baby M.

what a fun session this was!

I was having total flashbacks of when my 'lil Brooklyn was born.

This wonderful family has welcomed their second daughter...

A dark haired little sweetie-joining her blonde haired, blue eyed sister!

Oh the joy...the fun...the story yet to unfold- what a huge blessing.

The decision to have a child

is to accept that your heart will forever walk about

outside of your body

~Katherine Hadley~

Baby M.

is such a beautiful and sweet baby girl.

An absolute angel...and perfect from head to toes.

From small beginnings come great things

proverb

It's safe to say this family is head over heels in love.
So thankful and full of anticipation of what's ahead.

I love to capture the early relationship between siblings.  

You can't ever go back and get "those shots"

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.

1 Samuel 1:27

Baby O.

Who's behind on bloggin' around here?

mE!!

Enjoy some beautiful images of a babe

who's family has been waiting 

years {and years...and YeArS}

for his arrival.

There's something so special in capturing

that in photography!

Perfection at it's finest.

"miracles happen to those who believe in them"

Baby A.

Baby A's session was a lot of fun.

We captured some timeless portraits during her session.

I kept envisioning these outdoor photos displayed as a huge wrapped canvas somewhere.

hmmm...

I even want to one for my wall (do you think A's momma would think that was weird?)  ha!

Precious.  Beautiful.  Fleeting

 Moments.

Those moments that you don't ever get back

and often can barely remember in the midst of bringing that new precious baby home.

Another reason photography is a priceless investment for your family.

My goal is always to capture their perfection,

their sweet spirit

that fills your home when you've been blessed with someone new.

Anyone who's had a baby knows

what I'm talking about.

Baby A. is truly a gift.

She joins a super adorable big brother,

who really wasn't into photos that day.

OK by me because I'm not all about "saying cheese" and perfect posing

(though those have a place too!)

Sometimes you want to capture them "right where they're at"...

and 'lil mister was still figuring this whole big brother thing out.

Welcome to the world, 

precious girl.

Little girls are precious gifts, wrapped in love serene. Their dresses tied with sashes and futures tied with dreams.

Miss S {AZ birthday photography}

Today we celebrated a very special day in our family.

My beautiful niece turned 10!

I've been driving by an overgrown yard full of flowers for months.

And each time I drive by, I think of my niece-who has a huge love of flowers.

I knew  it'd be the perfect place to start out her birthday photo session!

We piled in the car-  myself,  niece and 2 daughters...

turned up the tunes, rolled the sun roof back,  and just enjoyed a beautiful AZ afternoon.

My ears are still ringing from the giggles...

It's the good stuff.

Life's simple pleasures.

Miss S. also begged for requested railroad tracks for her photo session.
The birthday girl asks, I will deliver.

"Auntie,  I am ten today.  

Ten.  A decade.  

Isn't that soOo old?  I mean, it just even sounds old" 

Oh sweet girl, you always make me laugh...

Beautiful. Precious. Resilient. Smart. Charming. Funny.  Resourceful. Stylish. Witty.  Giggly.  Cherished.

Wonderful

'lil lady.

You are a treasure.

And loved beyond words.

Happy Birthday you old fart!
