I cannot believe it has taken me until now to share these!! This adorable duo belong to my 1st cousin, Joleen and her husband Eric. Joleen moved away a few years back so back in December was the first time I got to meet little Abraham and Winston. I quickly fell in love with them! Not only because I am a twin myself, but because these two seriously have the most awesome little personalities. I really wish I could see them (and my cousin!) more often.They are like 2 little old men which makes their little men outfits so perfect for them. Enjoy these 2 cuties. . .I know you will catch yourself saying “Awwww”!

One more quick share today of lil’ Miss Charlotte. Another gorgeous newborn I had the pleasure of photographing!! It’s been a busy spring over here and this next month is no exception. I have a lot of mommas just waiting for their new babies to be born.

I have so many pictures from recent sessions I want to share so I’m trying to get a little caught up. Little Tyler was a bit older for a newborn, but he did great and it was worth working for those sleeping shots of him. . .check out those amazing eyelashes!! Such a beautiful baby! Have a great week everyone!

Ok, you’re going to have to forgive me for showing so many, but I just couldn’t help myself. I loved this session and I just couldn’t narrow down which ones to show. Little Emme was such a good baby and let me get so many great shots of her sleeping away unaware to all that was going on. I also did her mommy’s (who is stunning!!) pregnancy pictures which I thought would be fun to show a few of first. Enjoy this beautiful family!!!

As you may have noticed (or not noticed hee hee), I have not been blogging much. I made a decision last year to give up a job that I had been doing online for quite a long time. There were many reasons for doing this and at the time I was so stressed about the decision. Looking back, I really see how God was involved in that decision from the get-go. I saw that everything does happen for a reason even when you don’t understand it at the time, and now I feel like the last 6 months has given me my sanity back. I used to spend so much time on the computer that I felt this weird pull to it. Granted, I was working and making money by being on it, but I felt like my life had become sucked into that computer screen. My kids hated it, my husband hated it, and I was starting to hate the person I was becoming being consumed by being stuck in front of that computer screen all of the time. I just felt super anxious and stressed and it was not good for me at all. I thought just because I had a great opportunity in front of me that I needed to take it. I now realize how much happier I am and how much happier my family is that I am “present”. I still am running my photography business and staying busy with that, which I feel SO incredibly blessed by. The month of January was filled with the most amazing clients who truly made me realize how lucky I am to have this business. But I’ve really taken a step back from the online/social networking/computer world. I know I need to blog my sessions once in awhile as it’s always good to get my fresh work out there for clients to see. But I’m finding a great balance and I’ve been able to really get involved more in my kids’ school/activities. I have an almost 4-year-old that I’ve been able to hang out with A LOT more instead of ignore for hours a day. God really has taught me a lot about what matters this past year. Many events, some tragic, have taken place that have showed me how important it is to be present in my life and to really cultivate my relationships with my kids, my husband, and my friends. Overall, 2012 has already been an amazing year just a little over one month into it and I look forward to seeing what the rest of the year brings. Sappy. . .yes? But I had to share it.

With that, I give you a taste of the last sessions I’ve had. . .

Meet the scrumptiously, loveable Leo. . .

 

Up next is the deliciously sweet Tala. . .

 

The next two heart-breakers were from an awesome family session that I hope to show more of soon.  I do have one outtake to share though that just cracks me up!

 

Next up is the adorably, smooshy Asher. . .

 

And the next two are just a couple of my favs from back in December.   The little guy below belongs to one of my best friends from High School.

 

LOVED this family session. . .hope to share more from this one some day too.

Me blogging this next family is WAY overdue!  They were so awesome to work with and it’s been great getting to know them.  Dad plays for the Arizona Diamondbacks and he gave us the awesome opportunity to watch his team play the Padres this summer.  They are a super gorgeous family, inside and out.  I also love the fact that they have a Brayden (the new little guy)  just like we do.

I know, I know. . .I’ve been a TERRIBLE blogger. I love showing off my clients and I feel bad I haven’t been doing much of that lately. Things have been so crazy and blogging has just had to be pushed to the back of the priority list, especially around the holiday time! But I do want to show a bunch of images from recent sessions. I am still missing some sessions (sorry to those of you I’m missing!) but I promise to try and get to them soon!!! For now, enjoy the beautiful people I am so lucky to get to photograph!

 

First up, Miss Tanya and her fabulous son, Jimmy.  They flew out here from Missouri for a little mother/son bonding time and we had a blast running around at the beach together. 

 

Next up is little Ava who was mere 4 days new at our session. . . such a sweet pea!

 

Then I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable family! The chunk on 4 month old Jack was so adorable and reminded me a ton of my boys at that age.  And his 19 month old brother was a total ham and such a little poser!

 

You may recognize these two cuties from their session last fall! They have grown a crazy amount and kept me on my toes! I loved seeing their little personalities really shine and their mom is the perfect mom for twins (Also, super gorgeous to boot!). <3

 

Little 6 month old Isabella was not into me at first. . .in fact, she screamed whenever I would look at her!! But as you can see, after awhile she sure gave me some adorable smiles.  Such a little cutie!

 

More to come soon!!!

Meet little Devin, 10 days old at the time of this session.  He was so sweet and cuddly and I could have snuggled him all day.   Just a short share today, it’s time to go pick up those kids from school already!

 

My personal fav.  Big yawn! Life’s exhausting when you’re 10 days new.

Happy Hump Day everyone!!! I am excited to share this session from back in August of this gorgeous family because they were soooo much fun to work with. Not only were laid-back and ready to have fun, but they had THE happiest baby ever. Apparently, this little cutie did not smile for her prior photo session back in their hometown, but you would never know it after looking at these pictures. She was all sorts of smiley and was a complete joy to photograph.   And boy is she an exact clone of her daddy or what?!!??   

 

Ok, now I’m off to clean. I drank a Venti Iced Coffee this morning without eating any breakfast.  Caffeine Jitters galore over here!!!!

Well, my kiddos are back to school which leaves me with my last baby here at home. I am a bit sad he will go to preschool next year and I feel like time is just rushing by way too fast.It’s amazing to see how much they grow from the time they are a newborn until they are 3 like my little man. I just have to hold tight to the memories of when they were babies and snuggle my newborn clients extra hard. <3

Meet sweet Charlotte, she was just about 2 weeks at the time of our session back in July and definitely fun to snuggle. Such a gorgeous little babe and her big brother is gorgeous too. Their family was so easy to work with and had such great personalities which made working with them so much fun. So, welcome to the world sweet Charlotte. . . .
