Bump-Birth-Baby…Simmons Family Birth Story and more! | Oro Valley Tucson Arizona Birth Baby Maternity Newborn Lifestyle Photographer

 Tiffany is my first client to participate in my bump-birth-baby plan!  Being apart of photographing each of those moments for her was so special.  I loved capturing her beautiful pregnancy for her (it can  be found here  ) and then getting to be in the delivery room for Baby Allie's arrival.  What an emotional filled experience :-)

Last week, I did Allie's newborn photos.  We did a combination of posed and lifestyle shots.  Personally, the lifestyle portion was my favorite!  Loved capturing family moments, expressions, and photographing Allie naturally in her environment!

  

Love this snuggle moment with mama!

Sweet little family!

In love with Sophie's expression and her holding Daddy's hand

Daddy and his girl…He was so sweet with her - whispering and singing to her the whole time!

L.O.V.E.

Congratulations Simmons family on your newest addition to your beautiful family!

Green, Puppies, Spanish Tile, and two people in LOVE Megan and Jim's Engagement | Tucson Oro Valley Downtown Airforce Engagement Photographer

I got to spend Sunday morning with this adorable couple!  Megan contacted me through my Facebook page and I couldn't wait to meet them!  Jim is in the Airforce so neither of them are at "home" so I was excited to photograph their engagement here in Tucson, since they probably won't be here forever.  That being said I WISH they were getting married here, because they are so much fun!  Such a sweet couple and so in LOVE!

We met at a park near where they live.  LOVE this location!  A cute red bridge, waterfall, little pond, BIG trees…LOVE LOVE LOVE!  The morning light was perfect, I was in heaven.  

We also included their fur babies in on the fun!

 

Check out this neat tree!  We of course had to carve their names in it!

Ok - that was so hard to choose photos for a blog and hopefully not ruin any save the date card surprises!  

So, on the way to their session Sunday morning, I drove by this super cute shopping area that had a great Spanish, Urban vibe…so we split our time between the park and this cute little place!

And this is only the millionth thing I love about Tucson…especially being a photographer in Tucson.  Amazing greenery and just LITERALLY one mile down the road, adorable modern urban-ish backdrops!

 

Congratulations Meg and Jim and thank you for choosing me to take your engagement photos!  You were just too cute!  

The goofy and gorgeous Neale Family! | Oro Valley Family Child Photographer

I got to spend last Sunday with this fun and adorable family at some parks around our neighborhood!  Winter grass is here in AZ and I am LOVING it! 

I told you this family was fun...

I met the Neale's shortly after they moved in just a few doors down...Megan likes to poke fun about how I asked her to be my friend! :-)  But what can I say...I just know a great friend and family when I see them!  Geoff is also the super talented designer that did my logo!  Since them moving in, we have done so much together as families and I have been counting down until their family session.  Everything about this session was candid and fun! 

I just loved doing these photos of Averie in the tent!  AND...Can you believe shortly before our pictures...she told her mom there was NO way she was going to SMILE for me?!  HA!  - I had a few tricks up my sleeve ;-)

There is so many adorable ones coming to her mom on her DVD of her in the tent it was hard for me to choose...AND I didn't even put my favorite up because I want her to be surprised...BUT...I think this is a close second...

TOTALLY Averie.

And of course some of her sweet Bubba!

And of course...wearing the right jersery :-)

Had a great time taking photos of the kids and getting some potential Christmas card shots...those not included in post ;-)

LOVE.

LOVE how natural and fun this family was!

Some family shots!

Can't wait to do these lovebirds 10th anniversary session!

Thank you Neale family for being SO much fun and for choosing me to photograph your amazingly hilarious, crazy, and fun family!
