Maternity Photography {Bailey}

In Maternity

I had so much fun at this Maternity Photography session in Arizona. Bailey was the perfect pregnant model 🙂 She and her husband James are expecting their first baby. They were bursting with excitement and anticipation for their little one to arrive. It happened to be a very windy day. At one point, the wind was blowing so hard, I decided to take a video of it. Luckily Bailey’s hair stayed cute even though the wind was blowing so much. I’m so happy you asked me to take your maternity photos and hope I get to meet the new addition soon!

1 Year Photos {Alex}

In Children

Isn’t Alex a cutie? He was probably the happiest little 1 year old I have ever had in my studio for 1 year photos. He smiled for the entire hour, just as happy as can be. It was adorable! I loved his cute little outfit with the hat and bow tie. Since he was so cooperative, we were able to use lots of different backgrounds and props in his pictures. Mom even got into a few pictures at the end since we had time. I hope to see this little fellow in the future as he grows up!

In Engagement

Ja’Nea & Keith’s wedding is coming up in the fall and I can’t wait! It was so much fun getting to know them better during their Phoenix Engagement Photography session. We had a little issue with the original location we chose (they were closed!) so we improvised and went to this great spot down the road a few miles. It ended up being such a great spot for pictures. These 2 love to laugh and have fun and their smiles brighten up the pictures! Thanks for exploring a new spot with me.

Family Photography {Hess Family}

In Families

It was great to see the Hess family again for their yearly family photography! I loved how their outfits turned out and we lucked out and got a cloudy evening. This is probably my most popular spot over the last year. In fact, I went there so often I finally got smart and bought a yearly parking pass! I am obsessed with the blue and purple hues on the mountain when it’s cloudy or first thing in the morning. It looks so nice with pastel or muted tones! I’m loving how Brittney put all of her boys in adorable bow ties. Thanks so much for a great session!

Of course we had to end the session with some silly pictures of the kids!

Newborn Photographer {Matthew}

In Newborn

Matthew was the sweetest little newborn! It hasn’t been too long since I did his big brother’s newborn pictures either. He was all smiles around his new little brother. This adorable family came to my home studio for their newborn photography session. I am loving the white background in my pictures lately. My bench also came in handy for the family pictures. Matthew started out awake and happy and then he finally fell asleep. We wrapped him up tight and he loved being warm and snuggled. It was a little difficult to get big brother to cooperate for some sibling photos. I grabbed some cheerios and put them on Matthew’s belly and it worked like a charm! I loved all of the faces Matthew made during his session. He even smiled for a few pictures! Thanks so much for allowing me to be Matthew’s newborn photographer! Can’t wait to see your family again soon.

Arizona Engagement Photographer {Josh & Alicia}

In Wedding

I had a blast at Josh and Alicia’s engagement session. These two have some real dedication to choosing the perfect location. They drove all the way from Buckeye to this amazing spot for their pictures. 2 hours in the car each way definitely paid off with these beautiful images. These 2 are so perfect for each other and they make each other so happy. Alicia is a sweet mother of 4 young children and Josh has taken them all in like they’re his own. Alicia also happens to be my good friend so this session was even more fun for me. I can hardly contain my excitement about their wedding next month and I can’t wait to get some more amazing pictures of these two!

They seriously laughed through most of the session, they were having so much fun!

Yes these 2 actually climbed a mountain to get the next several pictures. I’m so glad they did!

We got lucky and found this apple tree with fresh blossoms on it.

The trees here are amazing. Look at the size of the trunk!

Newborn Boy {Simon}

In Newborn

Simon was such a good baby during his newborn session! We started out with some family pictures and pictures of the 2 brothers. Simon’s big brother was really interested in playing with the box of cars I brought out for him but he finally decided to sit by his baby brother for some pictures. Simon was awake for a little while and then he finally fell into a deep sleep.

I am loving the blue textured wrap on him! It really went well with his skin.

I love the 2 brown tones of the wrap and the fur. He looks so cozy in this bowl!

Mom and Dad brought this blanket along to use in some of the pictures. I wrapped him in a soft baby blue wrap to match.

We were nervous to unwrap him since he seemed to really enjoyed being tightly wrapped. However, he did great slightly unwrapped in these photos.

Another prop Mom and Dad brought with them was this adorable crocheted fox hat. We tried Simon naked for these and he was completely chill and oblivious to what we were doing around him. What a sweet baby!

One last hat and we were done with his newborn photos. I’m so happy they chose me to be Simon’s newborn Photographer and I hope to see them again in the future.

Phoenix Maternity Photographer {Lauren & Cameron}

In Maternity

This couple was referred to me by an amazing client of mine who I recently took 30th birthday cake smash pictures of. When Lauren first contacted me about taking her maternity photos, she mentioned that she and her husband always looked awkward when they’ve had their pictures taken and she didn’t think they were photogenic. I literally think the complete opposite about this couple! They were so easy to photograph and they look so happy and natural in the pictures. Honestly, this is one of my favorite maternity sessions lately. Lauren, you are beautiful inside and out and you look STUNNING in your pictures! I can’t wait to meet your sweet baby. Thanks so much for allowing me to be your Phoenix Maternity Photographer, I had a blast working with you.

Queen Creek Family Photography {Graham’s}

In Families

I love this family! We’ve known their family for many years now and they happen to be our neighbors across the street from us. Nicole did some work for me last year and I owed her a family session in exchange. It took us a while to get this planned….good weather was a priority and in Arizona sometimes that’s hard to find. We chose a pretty cold day but they were troopers and mustered through it, even the kids. I loved the fall look of the location even though it was January.

Phoenix Senior Portraits {Naina & Usha}

In High School Seniors

I had so much fun taking Naina & Usha’s Phoenix Senior Portraits. They are beautiful, intelligent girls who are graduating from high school this year and heading off to college. These twins have been together all of their 18 years since birth and now they’ve decided to go their separate ways for college. They want to each have their own experiences to grow and learn. I wanted to make sure I got a lot of pictures of the two of them together. I know when they’re apart, they’re going to really miss each other! I had the hardest time narrowing down the selection of pictures for them. They were so easy and carefree during their session that the pictures all looked great to me. I hope you both have an amazing senior year before you’re off to bigger and better things.
