Snow Improves Lighting

Usually when it is snowy and cold outside, I stay snug and warm indoors. But I couldn't resist the great light reflection that the snow provided for this seven month old session with P.

Fall is Here

This session was so much fun because we found the perfect location right in our backyard! It was a lot of fun because at five months old, P was into exploring everything! I looked away for two-seconds and before I knew it she was sampling the leaves.

DIY Family Picture

This was my first attempt at using a remote to take our family pictures. We were hoping for bold fall leaves, but ended up in the canyon a little too early. Despite that fact, I love the greens and yellows we managed to incorporate into our photo.

Grin

I love this cute smile that I got during P's three month-old mini-session.

K's Seniors at Memory Grove

Such a fun senior picture session with my sister K! She is a senior in high school this year and is the head cheerleader at her school and she is incredibly smart. She is a natural when it comes to posing so she made my work really easy for me.

Turquoise

My youngest sister is a senior in high school this year and so while we were in Las Vegas a few weeks before school started, we ventured out for a photo session. Unfortunately it was blazing hot and so we only spent a few minutes shooting, but managed to snap this photo that we both love. She looks stunning no matter what color she wears but I think that turquoise is definitely one of her colors.

All American Cutie

 I knew that this would be one of the last times that little P would fit the "All American Cutie" dress she wore home from the hospital, and I wanted to document how happy she is every time she wears it. This session and photo in particular led to one of those moments of realizations in which I  decided that I really love taking photographs of babies and children. Yes they are sometimes difficult subjects, but I feel that the reward of a whole face lighting smile makes up for how difficult it is.
