Phoenix, AZ :: Family Photographer

This wonderful family HAS to be my longest running client. Or maybe just the client I have photographed the most. Either way, I love em! Jason's family came to town and they wanted a session done and braved the insane heat to get it!

They were all so sweet and totally NOT cranky despite the Arizona sun!

I love that Connor is wearing his soccer uniform. I love when a session really reflects the lives of the client at that time! And this totally does!

See the family resemblance between these two men?!

Thanks Reed family for allowing me to be a part of your lives! :)

This is my wonderful friend Crystal and her sweetie, Anthony! This girl and I have been friends a looooong time and she was actually in my wedding. ;) So I was SO happy to hear that she was expecting and wanted ME to photograph her!!

How adorable is this lady! She is ALL belly and looks SO good!

I can not wait to meet her little man and get some squishy newborn photos of him! She actually went into labor TODAY so this seems fitting to get this session up. ;)

Not too many women would be comfortable rocking a two piece while 9 months pregnant but she DID! And I LOVED it!!

Congratulations Crystal and Anthony! So happy for you two! This is the day when life begins!

This is the season of BABIES! I don't think I have ever shot so many maternity, newborn, birth sessions in such a short period of time! I love it! New life, new love!

Meet mama Mary and Jeremy! I have known this little lady since high-school, back when I was still JJ. ;)

They are such a sweet couple. Both so giddy over the arrival of Annabelle! Isn't that a cute name?!

Isn't she stunning? Man, this girl makes being pregnant look so easy! She's glowing and has the perfect skin we are all promised and no one ever gets. Hehe!

Look at her cute belly!! And Jeremy is such a sweet guy with her! I love love!

Can't wait to meet you baby Annabelle! <3 Thanks Mary and Jeremy for letting me capture this special time for you!

Meet my sweet friends, the Alvarado family! We are in a Bible study group together and have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this little man!

I felt so honored when they asked me to come meet the little guy! I was able to go up around 7:00pm so I wasn't able to photograph the family meeting him but I did get to catch some special photos for them!

He is such a handsome fellow! I am smitten! As are his mommy, daddy, aunties and uncles, grandparents! You name it! And all the women in our group are swooning too! ;)

Thanks for letting me meet him! Welcome to the world Elijah!

Meet the Allen Family! You may remember seeing their beautiful wedding a couple of months ago, HERE, and now I got to shoot their maternity photos! She decided to do them a bit earlier than what's "normal" because waiting to do them in the dead of summer in AZ would not be fun! Can't blame her!

They have one little guy and are welcoming a sweet little lady into their family! Noah is such a character and he's excited about baby Mia's arrival!

Mikey is thrilled to be having a little girl!! He's ready to spoil her rotten!

Isn't she stunning?! Her belly looks so perfect! And I can't believe she's had TWO kids! I'm a bit jealous. ;)

And during the session, sweet little Noah reminded me to stop and smell the flowers, even when running around like a chicken with her head cut off! ;)

Surprise, AZ :: Newborn Photographer

This handsome little man was 8 days new when we did his session! He did not want to miss a thing and vowed to stay awake almost the ENTIRE session! Love these independent thinkers. ;)

I am pretty blessed, as a photographer, when a family chooses me to be their lifetime photographer! And I've been with this couple since they got engaged! I photographed their engagement, wedding, gender reveal, maternity and now newborn! So blessed!

He was so sweet and snuggly! Even I got to give him some love and I loooooved that!

My FAVORITE part of a newborn session is documenting these tiny little details! I know I love looking back at my kids little fingers and toes and I'm sure they will too!

This family is just precious and I am so happy I got to document this time for them! Thanks Kaiser family for letting me be a part of your lives!

This strapping, young man is my very own DAD! :) He needed some nice photos for his company and I was happy to oblige. Little did I know just how difficult this man could be! ;)

I absolutely adore my dad. I don't want to get too mushy on you but really, he is an amazing man. He's got the sweetest heart and I pray that I get that from him. ;)

And I think he's pretty dang handsome!

See? Such a model! ;)

I love the picture on the left! His smile is so infectious!!

AND he's a pretty awesome grandpa! :) Love ya, Daddy!
