This lil’ dollface is 11 months old. She is 11 months old, going on 2 and a half. She’s a tough little one- and totally enthralled with exploring the world around her! She could squirm herself out of Chuck Norris’s arms if she wanted.  Not walking yet, but who needs to walk if you can get wherever you want on all fours SUPER FAST. I’m not talkin’ on the knees like the baby-crawlers… full feet and hands! She is goin’ places someday, trust me! Needless to say, we had our hands full. We got a workout during this family session.

Stacey and Eric, you two have a precious little sweetie pie- “sugar and spice and everything nice”. My husband can’t get over how cute her little face is. Thanks for your patience with me today, and for putting up with me getting your names mixed up more than once! <3

Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

Heidi’s enthusiasm for our photo session made for a great time for both of us. She was spunky and fun and up for just about anything.  The spunk and the red hair- she’ll be the first to tell you that “she got it from her mama!”  ; )

Thank you, Heidi, for choosing me to do your senior photos.  Your gallery will be ready in about a week.

enjoy!

Cassie is a senior at Bonanza High this year. Our family has known Cassie since she was about 12 or 13 years old. She has ALWAYS been a sweetheart. A little on the shy side- in an adorably charming way. Her absolutely AMAZING skin and her stellar smile are an incredible combo.

Cassie, make the most of this last year of high school. : ) Remember the moments… it’s going to go by so fast!

Here are a few of my favorites.

Amanda is a senior at Chaparral High School this year.

We set out to the South of France to do her senior session yesterday (just kidding, but it looks like it in those first few photos!). We had a few difficulties along the way, but we were able to get some gorgeous shots. She is such a pretty girl with beautiful green eyes and porcelain skin.

Thanks, Amanda for being patient through bad traffic and all the other craziness! : ) You are a sweetheart!

Little Roman Thomas is absolutely precious. He’s a lucky little guy- he’s got a great name, young fun-loving parents, and super-great looks. I can’t wait to watch him grow.

There will be more to come of this little guy, because Daddy was unable to make it to the photo session, and I’ve got some ideas for them!

For now- enjoy this sneak peek. <3

Tina and Michael are engaged! Woot! Woot!

Man oh man, do I love engagement sessions. Sometimes I think about shooting weddings just so that I can shoot more engagement sessions! This couple is gorgeous- and not shy in front of the camera. I love that. I LOVE it when couples can be themselves so easily even when I point my lens toward them. I guess lovin’ on each other comes easily to them. They rocked their session and I’ve got proof! As a matter of fact- lots of proof. I had a hard time narrowing it down for my blog post so this is a bit of a long one. I don’t think they’ll mind. ; )

Tina and Michael- Best wishes to you both. I had a SUPER fun time with you guys yesterday. There is no doubt of your love for one another. <3

I never know what to expect when I’m headed to a family session. Often times, I’ve never met the family members- usually only mom. It’s fun to see the variety- how parents do their parenting, how siblings get along with each other – or don’t, etc.  Sometimes special bonds between family members are very evident. The family from this session was a beautiful family. All of them were loving and respectful toward one another, but the bond between the sisters shined for me.

The oldest sister leaves for college next week. She says she’s excited, but that there are some things she’s really going to miss. Two of those “things” are under 4 feet tall and look like her, but smaller.

Here is a peek at some of my favorites from our session. : )

Little Tiago is 7 months old. His 7 month birthday was actually on the day of this session.

What a HAPPY baby boy. The entire 2 hour session, he never cried or even pouted ONE TIME. It was incredible! Mama said that he might get a little cranky because it was near bedtime, but not a single complaint from him. : )

It is fun for me to see this family grow. I remember when we did maternity photos, they were as NERVOUS about being parents as they get. When Tiago was a newborn, and we shot photos when he was 5 days old – they were careful to make sure they were doing everything just right. Now, they got this parenting thing down! ; ) They are just simply ADORABLE with their son. I can really tell that they appreciate this special time in their lives.

Here is a look into their session.

This adorable brother-sister combo couldn’t be any cuter! Mama had them dressed in THE CUTEST coordinating outfits- I was really impressed with the way she put things together. Both kids are smart, adventurous and well-behaved, too! It was a hot day, and we walked a long way, and they were both TROOPERS.

Boy did we wear ourselves out by the end. I slept very well last night! We got some great shots.

Here are my favorites:
