a new look for kmphotography!

i'm sure you've noticed some change taking place on the blog here. i've been experimenting with a few new looks trying to find which one is most "reflective" of the portraiture i'm creating.
i've finally found it
and i have to give a HUGE shout out to Kassie
of
Photobucket
for her
patience and amazing talent.  
she is truly the best!
thanks for your patience as i tweak a few things here and there. i'm hoping to soon showcase
the new products (which i think you'll fall in love with!) 
as well as some unique, fresh techniques with my portraiture.

4 Generation {AZ Portraiture}

"To move freely you must be deeply rooted."

I have these sessions come along that touch my heart so deeply. 
Great grandma.  
Grandmas.  Daughters.  Great granddaughters.
Strong women of faith.
love.
integrity.
Separated geographically but not in heart.

 "We shape our lives not by what we carry with us, but what we leave behind"  
unknown
It warms my heart to see people keep their family at such high priority.
This photo session has been on the books since 2010.
 It was an honor to capture their reunion.

The personalities, laughter.
 What fun.
Two sisters, each seeing their daughters raise a daughter.
"playing just like when our girls were babies" 
I heard one grandma sigh...

And great grandma 
is able to relish these moments
these giggles, tea parties, and delicate perfections
within three generations.
delights me to to capture it behind my lens.

Such fun personalities and relationships these women share.







































Life truly is Art.
simple as that.

The B. Family

-->This family traveled all the way from Montana for their photo session<--
Okay, not really.
Maybe more like to soak up some AZ  sunshine, laugh with our merwin zoo, and celebrate a wonderful Easter!

We're so thankful to call these peeps "friends"... 
childhood friends that we've known since further back than I can even recall.
Here big sis is giving Mr. C his pep talk..."let's smile and get this over with" may have been in the convo?  ha!  
The terrific two's can be challenging for prompting smiles ;)
The Phoenix zoo was awaiting them so we squeezed in a quick AM session.
Daddy tried so hard not to flash a smile but
his beautiful 'lil girl ruined all that with one hug!
Can you blame him?
I adore this family for so many reasons...
One is that they're extremely fun, light-hearted, generous, hard working, and down to earth.
Wait that was five.
alright I can't even count all the ways.


I knew I'd eventually capture that beautiful, huge smile Mr. C- even if it WaS the last photo I took for your session!
'lil stinker.








I already miss your laughter, sleepy morning eyes, happy arms swinging, and fun 'lil personalities.  
both of you are too precious for words.
Come back soon!!

The M. Family

 Images of daddy and daughter have always melted me.
I try to think outside of the box with my sessions and capture
more emotion than just "snapshots" or poses 
(though I love me a good pose!)

"She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
 without a care in the world.

 "So I will dance with Cinderella while she is here in my arms.

-I don't want to miss even one song ...


Any man can be a father.  It takes someone special to be a dad.

Love this precious family {of mine}
Twin sister to  my hubby.
She and her hubster now have 2 beautiful girls about the same age as my 2 handsome little boys.





  



It's beyond fun to see them paired up
when we're together... a 'lil blast from the past for grandma, I'm sure.
My sista= one great momma.
Beautiful.  Fun.  Loving.  Devoted.
