The Smiths

I had a lot of fun shooting Sam, Miranda and Emory on Monday. They even came up with a few poses on their own! They had a lot of fun together, and it was great to be able to shoot them!

Our Family!!

Melissa, the amazing photographer I work with took our family pictures last week. Tyler was a little tough, so I was skeptical, but we ended up with SO MANY cute ones! Thank you Melissa!

The Paynes

I took pictures of my friends Lyric, Steve, Max, and Sophie last night. There are a ton of cute family pictures (it'll be tough choosing the Christmas card shot!) so I decided to post my other favorites! It was great to see you guys and take your pictures!

The Wagners

I got to take family pictures for the Wagners today. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the pictures look great!

Arizona Sky

Being from California, during the long hot summers I sometimes find myself wondering why I live here in Arizona. Then we have a sunset like this - there's nothing like it!

And here are the storm clouds across the other side of the sky...

Schnepf's Farm

We went to Schnepf's Farm today with our friends James and Ashlee and their kids Sage and Cason. It was the opening night for their season, and there had been storms all day, so it was pretty empty and we got to go on all the rides with no lines! The kids had a blast!

We started at the pig races which included goats - I'm not too sure about that one!


The first 100 kids who came to Schnepf's Farm got little tractors!



The kids went on an airplane ride that didn't allow adults... I was definitely more nervous than they were!



We rode the train at the end of the night, but after 6:30 it becomes a "spooky" train ride.

Phoenix Zoo

We went to the Phoenix Zoo today with our friends and had a blast! It was still pretty hot out, so the kids ended up playing at the kids water park. The water felt so good, I was glad I had my kids as an excuse to go in!

My Wall is Finished!

There is this awful built-in thing on the wall in my living room and I decided I would use it as a frame for a bunch of my pictures of the kids. I finally finished it this weekend! I am very happy with how it turned out and feel it makes the wall look so much better!

Pnuemonia :(

We have been stuck inside all week because Tyler has pnuemonia. We decided to get all dressed up and take some fun pictures inside. The doctors always wonder why I can't tell when my kids are sick - you tell me, does she look sick??
