perfect*

Jumping on for another sneaky peak for wonderful clients.

I had such a wonderful time with this family last week.
It was a perfect weather day, perfect smiles, perfect outfits, perfect location. Everything was just perfect!
The wild flowers were in bloom on the desert mountain and it coordinated perfectly with their beautiful, bright colors.
I am having such a great time working through these photos. It was very difficult choosing just a few to share today.
Here are some that I love...

Heather is a friend from High School, and it was such a huge JOY to spend some time with her and her amazing family. Seriously, they are such a wonderful bunch of people and I was honored to capture a few of their moments together.

Hope you like them Heather! I can't wait to show you the rest!

so much sweetness!

Hi there!

Just getting an overdue sneak peek to this fabulous family that I photographed last weekend.

We went to one of my favorite locations and I enjoyed every minute with them.


Here are a few that I wanted to share...

So much sweetness! They are a truly wonderful couple and their children are just so beautiful, aren't they?

Hope you like them Lindsey!

treasured.

By far, one of my most treasured sessions.
This family is all kinds of wonder and beauty.

love.love.love.

mi familia. my loves.

These images of my family were taken a couple of months ago...but I have been meaning and hoping to share them in this space.

My sisters and I set up a little session for the children to give as gifts to my parents for the holidays.

Each of our children have intense exploring spirits. And so...there is no expectation from photo sessions. I just observe and snap at what I can.

These are some images we gathered that I love.

something new*

Ok, so the posting spree didn't go according to plan.
I got really overwhelmed looking over the sessions and deciding which images to share.
So...
new approach!


I am going to start sharing some of my most recent sessions and then work backward from there. Hopefully, at some point, I will be all caught up. But...we shall see! ;)

Here was a fun cake eating session with a beautiful birthday girl who was turning one year old!
I really delighted in seeing her explore and celebrate!
These are some faves.

oh me. oh my.

Really? Has it really been nearly two months since I have posted anything on here? And, is the last session that I posted really dated from the 15th of NOVEMBER!!! And, are there really nearly 15 sessions that I have yet to post pictures from? Really??? REALLY???

Oh my.

big, big *sigh*

I am trying to gentle with myself, but really. What is the deal?

So...
in effort to get "caught up" with things. I am going to go on a little posting spree. I won't be writing anything about any of the sessions...just know that they were all INCREDIBLY lovely and that I am ever so grateful for the fact that I have such beautiful and fun clients who believe in me and are easy to be with. What more could a gal ask for?

There will be a series of very small posts...including maybe 2-5 images from each session. I just want to get them out here, as I tend to think of this space as an on-line portfolio kind of thing where I can send potential clients who are interested in seeing my current work.


And away we go...........................

mama love.

i am always so happy to photograph mama bellies!
it is one of the most beautiful forms, i think.

and i truly enjoy being around this fun family.
so, when melissa asked me to do some maternity/family shots a couple of weeks ago, i was totally on board.

this will be their third babe and it is really fun to see the anticipation and excitement among each of them for the newest member.

a few images that i really enjoy:

beauty in abundance

there are several images from this session that i am just totally in love with. it was hard for me to choose which ones to share on here.

these girls are just amazing. i photographed them last year as well.
the images that we captured this time around really pull me in.
i feel like the setting was perfect for them, for their beautiful bright hair and for capturing little pieces of their unique personalities.

i am also really pleased with how these images look when transformed to black and white.

serious abundant beauty.
