I was working on a different session this morning and realized I never blogged about this family.  Well, it was my last official Christmas session of the year and was a lot of fun even if we were battling some HARSH sunlight the whole time.  The {R} family makes me smile!   I just can’t help it.  The boys were cracking me up and I just adore their mom.  Thank {T} for spending part of our day with me!!

I just LOVE Ms {Z}.  I met this family when I did their Maternity photos and have looked forward to seeing {Z} every 3 months since she was born as one of my “Watch Me Grow” kiddos.  {Z} is now 6 months old – she sits well and is already crawling!!!  And as a special treat for me, we took some photos with big sis {J} this time as well!  Here is a Sneak Peek!

Ms {E} has got to be one of the cutest babies every!!  She is adorable!  She was all smiles through our whole session.  We were able to get a few pictures of the whole family and then spent some time inside capturing Ms {E}’s 3 month photos.  Here is her Sneak Peek – Isn’t she a doll!!

The {W} family is just amazing and Little {Z} is such a doll!!  I got to meet them when I did her newborn photos and I cannot believe how BIG she is getting.  She is such a cutie pie!  Here is a sneak peek from the family session we did a couple weeks ago.

I had the pleasure of meeting the {L} family a couple of weeks ago.  They are an adorable family and I can’t wait to spend more time with them in the Spring.  But, for now, here is their Sneak Peek!!

I feel like I say this a lot…but I LOVE my families and the {S} family is no exception.  Little Ms {M} is just adorable and {L} is a wonderful big brother!  Here are a sneak peek from our session.

I just LOVE this family.  We have been blessed to call them our friends for the past few years.  I just love watching their family grow!!  The boys are all getting so big.  With the newest addition of baby boy #4, the {P} family is definitely a ton of fun!  Here is the sneak peek from their recent session.

The {S} family is so much fun!!  I loved seeing the kids personalities and Mom and Dad are just awesome.  Thanks for spending part of your morning with me!  Here is a peek at our session.

I LOVE that I get to do the photos for one of the squadrons on base each year.  I have so much fun seeing all the families!  Here is a little peek at how my 2 days went.

I love cake smashes, little girl and pink….so much fun!!!  {K} wanted to eat her cake instead of mess it up….but with a little push from mom she dived in.  Big sis {E} didn’t want much to do with the camera, but we managed to pull some smiles out of her (with a little help from bubbles).  Haha.  I had a blast.  Thank you {T} for introducing me to your family!!  Here is your Sneak Peek.

The delicious and gorgeous cake was made by Cakes By Ruth.

Isn’t this family amazing! Big sister and two adorable little boys. Just from the couple of hours that I spent with them I could tell that {T} is GREAT big sister…and the boys were just precious!! Thank you {Z} family for spending part of your day with me. I just wish you guys weren’t moving so I could see these handsome little guys grow up! I cannot wait to dive in and get to editing this full session, but for now these few teasers will have to do. Hehe. Here is your Sneak Peek mom..

Okay – here is another fabulous mini session from this weekend!  This family is amazing.  I have known them for a long time and just love any chance I get to photograph them.  Mom, Dad, big Brother, little Sister – perfect.  If only someone told little Miss {E} that.  Haha.  She was a little selfish with her smiles, but Dad managed to pull a few out of her.  Here is your Sneak Peek {K}!!

I had such a great time with our mini sessions this past weekend.  One of the families that I got to spend part of my day with was the {S} family.  These girls are just precious and are really missing Daddy who is overseas right now.  Hoping these photos find Dad well and put a smile on his face – his sweet girls!  So for Mom & Dad, here is your sneak peek.

I had a GREAT time with the {M} family last weekend!  The kiddos are just adorable.  Watching Ms {O} run around made me realize that my little girl is going to be running in no time as well!  We battled the sun (thanks Dad for your help – you are hired as my assistant if you want a job), climbed trees, played on (and with) the rocks and watch the ducks.  I’d say it was a successful day!!  Here are a few photos from our session and your Sneak Peek Mom!

I just adore the {M} family.  I have done annual photos for them for several years and really look forward to our sessions each year.  Mom always does a fantastic job with outfits and I just love seeing how the kids are growing up.

Here they are in 2010 and 2009.  This year we decided to head up and get pictures with desert scenery instead of grassy.  I just love this location and I think the kids had fun playing around on all the rocks as well!  Here are a few photos from their session.

The {G} family is so much fun!  The kids are wonderful and I have NO idea how Mom keeps things under control with 4 young kids at home.  She is awesome!  We have known this family for a long time and it has been really neat to see their family grow.  I can’t wait to see what is in store for them next!  Thanks for letting me spend my day with you guys!!!  Here is the sneak peek from your family session.

I know…..crazy……but it is that time of year again!  I had a really hard time finding some open dates to do mini sessions.  My calendar is SO full right now (which is a good thing, right).  Anyway, I have 2 dates set for Christmas Mini Sessions.  October 30th we’ll be in Glendale.  November 20th will either be back in Glendale, in Surprise, or possibly Estrella (depending on response).  Sessions will be 20 minutes and you will sign up for a time slot.  Session fee is $50 and you’ll get (1) 8×10 AND (2) 5×7′s.  If you are interested, please let me know ASAP to ensure your spot on the schedule.  If you are interested in booking a regular session, I am currently booking into January.  If you need something sooner than that contact me ASAP and we’ll see if we can find a time to work you in!

I met part of the {V} family several years ago when our kids played t-ball together and had the pleasure of meeting their extended family this past week.  I had no idea what I was getting into (although I must say the Grandfather warned me – haha).  They were ALL boys!!!  The poor moms are so outnumbered.  But, despite being boys they did a GREAT job with their photos and I truly enjoyed spending my day with them.  Thanks guys for braving the HOT AZ SUN and spending part of your afternoon with me!  Here is your sneak peek.

I had a blast with the {A} family last weekend!  They were full of energy and ready for their session!  Little {E} was adorable. She has mastered walking so it took all of us to keep her still, but we did it.  Haha.  Mr {T} is ALL boy and was such a ham for the camera.  And Miss {M} was just beautiful and did an awesome job!  Thanks guys for spending part of your morning with me.  It was so nice to meet your wonderful family!  Here is your sneak peek.

The {S} family is just so sweet.  They have an adorable new baby girl and are just so in love with her!  I know I said it when I posted her newborn photos, but I am so excited to watch Baby {A} grow into a toddler over the next year!  So, here are a couple of photos from their family session this weekend.
