1st Birthday Cupcake Photo Session {Baby Olivia}

We were so excited to have this beautiful little girl back in our studio and celebrating her 1st birthday! Olivia is such a doll, this shoot was so much fun!


At first, Olivia was a little uncertain but quickly understood that the cupcake was a delicious treat!


She is too cute!


Now she is celebrating.





Olivia is such a happy baby!


Happy Birthday Olivia!!

Baby Bunny! {Baby Jayce}

Is this not the cutest thing ever!! Baby Jayce was an angel and let us try out our newest newborn outfit.  Thank you to Baby Daze Prop Shop for making such adorable outfits!  More photos from the shoot coming soon.

Baby Marin

Introducing Baby Marin Gewald! I first met Becky & Nick when they hired me to photograph their wedding last summer at the Arboretum in Flagstaff. This year I was honored to shoot their beautiful baby girl!

They are both very happy parents!

Becky had this beautiful quilt made for Marin. It will definitely be something she can treasure forever.

How precious! Marin in daddy's hands.

Congratulations to the Gewald family!

Newborn Session - Karcy Bloom

Welcome baby Karcy Bloom! This little baby is the daughter of Marcy and Kevin (you might remember their family session last summer), and is a big piece of sweetie pie. She lives in Phoenix and it was nice to be able to spend the day down there in the sunshine. (I travel quite a bit to the valley for photo sessions, so give me a call if you live down there!) She was an angel to work with, and snoozed through most of our session. Here are only a few of my favorites, you can see more on my facebook account and her slideshow here.

Welcome to the world little angel!

What a sweetheart! She opened her eyes just briefly enough for me to get a few open eyes shots.

I adore this one in her dad's hands, so sweet!

Here's the whole family! Big brothers Kobe and Ryan, and big sis Kevy!

I love this one of Kevin kissing her cheek, I think she was smiling!

Little Savanna

I met Ashley when she was about eight months pregnant when I did her maternity photos. She and her family were enthusiastically expecting their new daughter, Savanna. I was excited too; I just love little newborn sessions! Below are a few of my favorites. You can see more on my Facebook Account too! Welcome to the world little Savanna!

Baby Zane Guzman

Baby Zane Guzman arrived early April and what a cutie he is! You might remember Jessica and Bryan from her maternity session. This is their first baby and they are enjoying every moment with this little charmer. Here are only a few of my favorites. Welcome to the world little Zane!

What a handsome boy!

I absolutely adore the look on Zane's face here!

Bryan's going to be an amazing dad!

Little tiny hands are so cute! They grow TOO fast!

Baby Erin Elizabeth Bowker

It's seems fitting to post newborn photos on Easter, a day that symbolizes rebirth and hope. Meet little Erin Elizabeth Bowker, born March 30th. What a cutie! Here's a few of my favorites from our session! Welcome to the world little one!

She really looks like she was smiling at me here:

Big yawn!

I brought this headband with me, isn't she darling?

She has some beautiful, bright eyes! I can't wait to watch her grow up!

Peighton Isabella Hope-Five Months Old!

You might remember Peighton from her newborn photos back in August. She has grown into a beautiful little baby! She just turned five months old this month. This baby is HAPPY! With babies, I take a ton of photos and hope to get some cute smiling ones in between other expressions, but not this baby. She grinned the whole time! It was hard to pick out, but here's a few of my favorites from Friday's session:

Peighton's mom, Jenn, had this beautiful red tutu. Seriously, have you ever seen anything so sweet? We were laughing because it was ridiculously cute!

One of Jenn's friends made this hat for Peighton; it was so adorable on her! Peighton kept sticking out her tongue at us when she had it on!

Peighton loved to play with her dress while we were shooting. Here's a couple of her hiding behind the fabric, so cute!

Mom and daughter, in between costume changes! I love little moments like this!

This little girl has a beautiful smile, and it was infectious! I found myself laughing right along with her!

What beautiful eyes you have Peighton! Thanks for the great afternoon!

Madalynn's First Birthday

Meet Mad (short for Madalynn). She's just turned one and is possibly one of the most beautiful little girls I've ever laid eyes on. Her smile was infectious and I found myself giggling just looking at her. Since I lost my own mom when I was a kid, I've got a big soft spot for mother-daughter sessions. I want this little girl to look back on these photos 50 years from now and know just how much her mother adored her. Thanks for giving me this opportunity Amie! And happy birthday Mad!
