More of the Garnet...

This lady was very cute! Isn't her hat just adorable? She had a large red blanket under the dress, but you know me... we had to 86 that before I sent it to print!

OH MAN!

It has been a whirlwind this weekend! After spending some quality girl time with my friends and a Mary Kay beauty party... we all went out to celebrate Ceylan's birthday! I don't have any photos to share, but wanted to say.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CEY! Hope you had a great one!!!! LOVE YOU!

FINALLY!

Getting to work on the Garnet Day of Glamour shots! It has been a week, let me tell you!

Some more of the baby!!!!

I loved this session! I can't wait until I am completely done so I can send them all on the gallery to mom and dad!

Mrs ATOC is online....

Our image has now been placed on the ATOC website! Isn't she just gorgeous? I couldn't help but to call her and tell her how fun it was that she was up on the site already!

AWWW Factor!

Look at these lovely ladies!!!!!!

A day at the Garnet

I had the pleasure of visiting a assisted living facility today for a DAY IN THE PARK... Ladies dressed up and put on some lovely hats! I had the pleasure of taking their photos and mingling with some very pleasant women!

They had mimes, a barbershop quartet, a pianist, and a ton of other things!!!! It was fun!

Ooodles and Gabs of fun!

If you are looking for a session with ooodles and gobs of fun, pick a session with a one year old! Look at that hair!

A family with class....

Here is another one from my recent ATOC session. Finally got them all finished Catherine!

Isn't that baby just adorable? I can't wait till she is six months old!

Miss future prima ballerina!

Now if this isn't cute, I dont know what is. This little doll baby wanted mom the whole session!!! Hehehe! I remember those days! We put the tutu on her and she seemed to love it! There is nothing like a little girl with a tutu and a bow in her hair!


I had to try to make up for a missed day! Promise to post more tomorrow!

Don't mind the snap shots!!!

I finally gave up! I put up my backdrop system my self. I could not contain myself and when I called hubby to let him know... he said... " Good one more thing off the honey do list that I didn't want to do anyway!" HAHAHAH! Brat! I am very happy. All the supplies and hardware have been sitting in my studio for almost two years! NOW it is money well spent! OH! And I got to use a laser level. Now aren't those just the coolest things???? hahahahah. Look out!!! Amy and a drill!

Meet The Future Mrs OR MISS Touch of class!

Look at this sweetie. Isn't she just a doll face? 3 month old babies tend to be the hardest to shoot, but that one smile from daddy making silly faces and noises ALWAYS takes the cake!

Meet Catherine!

The Mrs Arizona America Touch of Class... Isn't she a doll? Can you believe she has a 3 month old baby? (I will post her photo later tonight Mom!) Talk about class and dignity.... She wears her crown well!

This lady is a true beauty, inside and out.

Website Reform!

I have been diligently working on my website to try to get all the pages working and to get my affiliations added to my homepage.

I am a member of ACPCG the American Child Photographer's Charity Guild which provides free photography sessions to sick and terminally ill children. They require their logo to be placed on your home page, so I am glad I finally got that done!

I also want to bring more awareness to the importance of kick counts while you are pregnant. A wonderful photographer lost her little baby James and has started this campaign for awareness.

So today is not a unique photo... but a link and a screen shot of my new and improved website. Feel free to swing by the new site and check out all the new pages I have added. Portrait Parties are the new rage, and well I will leave the rest for you to check out on your own!!!!!!!

An outtake that deserves mention. Can I keep her Cheryl? You know that even though she hates sessions, she loves me now! ;) She is finally warming up and I bet we can get some better shots next time you bring her! I hope you like all the images we shot that day!

For my Mother in Law....

The kids love riding the carousel at the zoo... and my Mother in Law loves authentic carousel horses... I know these aren't authentic... but they were the only animals standing still! I wish I could shoot some that were not attached!

Tough Love

Aside from the monkeys and elephants and the VERY loud and seemingly displeased panther we saw at the zoo... I will always have a softness for these monster tortoises even though they look pretty tough!

Visiting the Phoenix Zoo

Meet Kasih (KA SEE) the baby orangutan at the Phoenix zoo.... She was showing age appropriate behaviors in resisting her nap when her momma had said it was time to snooze. You can see what mom thought of me taking her photo... hahaha

No photo today!

Been a little behind this week as we are not home! But I promise to try to post something tomorrow when we get home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you are all well!

Cake Smash!

These are my favorite sessions... and no matter what has happened in the day I love love love these because they make me smile. I am not even through half of these yet and I just wanted to share this little cutie... and it works for my post of the day!

Hello????

Hahaha... One of my favorite and most challenging clients until today. This little sweetie ALWAYS puts a smile on my face even if she is screaming at me! hahaha She was sooo good today and I think she is finally starting to like me? Haha. We did her one year cake smash photos but we wanted this cute one for my website. Isn't she a doll baby? Already working on them mom!!! heheh!

This is OUR town!

Ok.. these sweet babies are just stinking cute. We have a TON of wild horses where we live and you can see that they come right up to the fence line next to our very VERY busy highway. I braved the insane drivers to hop out and shoot these frisky fillies (and stallians!) on the way to my mother in law's house.

Every time we drive by and we see them, I NEVER remember my camera! This time I purposely went back to the house before we headed into town and as I was driving saw them in the rear view mirror. To my kids' credit they didn't groan when I turned the car around and cut out 30 minutes of swim time to get these shots. They aren't the best but when you park this close the fence they get a bit riled up! As soon as I stopped my van they spotted me and hopped around in warning. Pretty soon (sooner than I wanted) they decided they were done with me and my weirdness even if they weren't done with their grass! The one with the fence gives you an idea of how close I was to them. There is about 25-30 feet between me and the fence.

I am obsessed with their toes. I can't believe how small they are right now and they will never be this small again. I had to take the time to capture their little piggies while I still could.

Thanks for humoring me!!!! These are my posts for the day!

Petite Wedding Packages now available...

By popular demand I have officially set up PETITE WEDDING packages. I have never advertised my wedding clients on the website, but there has been quite a demand lately for small attendance weddings, so I have wanted to make sure I can take care of each and every client in every aspect and every occasion no matter how big or small. Look in the coming weeks to see my larger wedding packages up as well.

Dog Gone Days of Summer

Here is our Lab... Lindsay.... Taking a dip in the pool! Be careful though... she tries to drown whatever is IN the pool when she gets in! Just kidding!

Can you believe our baby is almost two?
