A Big Big Thank you! {Tucson Photographer}

Well, 2010 has been quite an adventure! I just wanted to give a big shout out to all my wonderful friends, family and clients - you made this year a great one for me. Looking back, I wanted to just post just a FEW of my favorite photos (ok - I had about 20 faves to post and figured that was too long!)...Happy New Year everyone!

You knew I was going to add my own baby!



This momma is one of the sweetest people I've ever met!



These boys were so cute!



This baby was soooo easy to work with - adorable!



Awesome couple!



This momma is one of my dearest friends - love her!



I may add a couple more later, but I think nap time is order (for me!) first!

Little Troopers - {Tucson Children Photographer}

I love this family! And I adore these little boys...they were little troopers and tolerated me for an entire hour! It was such a joy to watch how loving the big brothers were with their new baby brother and with each other. Though we met up for family xmas photos, here are a few of just the boys.

A Beautiful Family - {Tucson Family Photographer}

This beautiful momma is the owner of Hannah's Bowtique Hair Bows and Accessories (be sure to check out her Facebook page for cute stuff!). She, and her family, were such a joy to spend my afternoon with and photograph - especially her little girls! This was their session last month - I've been impatiently waiting to post a few of my faves!

Brothers and Sisters - {Tucson Family Photographer}

The best thing about living in AZ is the gorgeous winters! While some of the country is dealing with snow and freezing temps, we have been enjoying some 80 degree weather.

The owner of the NW Tucson Stroller Strides decided to take advantage of this great weather, and I recently photographed her and her two adorable little boys and her visiting sister at one of my favorite parks.

Here are just a couple of faves - this one is sooo cute and fun!



The sisters of course.



The brothers watching the ducks.



My fave - a silhouette of mom and her oldest boy (pretending to be Buzz Lightyear of course!).

Seriously Cute - Baby {R} - Tucson Newborn Photographer

I love photographing babies - it just thrills me to be around them (who doesn't love holding an itty bitty baby?) and to capture such a wonderful time in a parent's life. They grow so fast!

Baby {R} was no exception - I had a lovely time with him this weekend. For a 5 week old, he was super alert and had no interest in going back to sleep. This first photo is one of the last ones I took, and I swear that look says "Are you done yet? I am so tired...and would like you to go...please..."

He was such an adorable little cutie (take a look for yourself!) - congrats again to his momma and dad!!!

{J} - Class of 2011 - {Tucson Photographer}

I had so much fun with this Class of 2011 senior! We talked about applying to schools and college life...it really brought back so many good memories of my own college days (but also made me feel soooo old!). Here are some of my faves from her session - she looks amazing!

Pretty Baby {E} - {Tucson Newborn Photographer}

I have been waiting weeks to meet this little girl! She was such a beautiful and sweet little baby - it's no wonder her parents are totally smitten with her. Just watching them dote on her made my heart melt and made me want to rush home to cuddle my own baby!

Here are just a few photos from the session - it was hard to narrow it down because she was so darn cute in them all!








She was happiest in momma's arms of course!

Sneak Peek - {H} Boys - {Tucson Children Photographer}

This is a little peek of the family shoot I did this past weekend...I'll wait a few weeks to show them off, just in case mom wants to use any of the photos for her xmas cards. These two boys were so fun to photograph - but wait until you see their baby brother. Your heart will melt!

Awaiting Their Baby Girl! {Tucson Maternity Photographer}

We had a specific goal at this maternity session - a sunset silhouette! I love Arizona sunsets so waiting around for it was no problem for me. The first one is of momma against the sunset and the next one is against the sky opposite the sunset - I just love the different colors of the sky we managed to capture.

This momma and daddy-to-be are expecting their first baby - a little girl! She was sure to make her presence known at the shoot by kicking one of the blocks I had placed on mom's belly. She was right on target with that kick!

Congrats again to Momma and Daddy {H} - I know you are both awaiting her arrival!

Going Pumpkin Picking! {Tucson Family Photographer}

I love Halloween! We have a "tradition" of going to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin every October...this year my oldest was able to hunt for his own pumpkin with the assistance of daddy.

We went on a perfect Arizona fall day - warm and sunny with blue skies and a cool breeze. After a hay ride, pumpkin picking and playing in the sunflower fields, it was time for a cup of shaved ice...lemon lime flavored of course!

Here are two of my favorite shots from that day!

Beautiful Baby {A} - Tucson Newborn Photographer

This little angel was a natural little model! She was only 14 days at her photo shoot and was completely relaxed and easy going - no crying at all! She snoozed long enough for those dreamy, sleepy photos and then opened her eyes for a while to show off her amazing blue eyes! What a beauty!

I absolutely loved spending the morning with her and her family. Thanks Mom and Dad for rearranging your furniture for me! I certainly put you to work this weekend. :o)

Here are some of my favorites...

Happy Half-Birthday Miss {K} - Phoenix Family Photographer

This little Miss celebrated her 1st half birthday with not only me, but both sets of grandparents at her photo shoot! It was so sweet to see the grandmas and grandpas dote on her. Little Miss {K} is so lucky to surrounded by so much love...but look at that face? You can't help but fall in love with her!

Awaiting Baby {Q} - Tucson Maternity Photographer

This mommy & daddy-to-be are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby girl! I was so excited to see that mommy brought a pink ribbon to tie around her belly. I'm so used to blue around my house that girly, pink things are a fun change!

Wishing Mommy {Q} the very best in her last few weeks of pregnancy. Your baby girl will be here before you know it!
