This sweet group and that fun red door! | Tucson Family Photographer

I know Jill because she is one of my son's AMAZING preschool teachers!  The "B" fam hasn't had family photos in a few years and I was so glad to get to update the mantle for them! ;-) 

We chose the La Paloma Country Club as the location for this session!  I love the hills, buildings, green grass, and of course that RED door.  I loved getting to spend time with Jill and her family - she's such a great mom!  I can see why her 20 preschool students love her so much!  

I laughed out loud as I looked through this family gallery - Miss Maddie just LOVES her brother SO much and literally wanted to hug in every photo!  She's just too cute.  Unfortunately, Big Bro Jake is in "sisters have cooties" phase SOOOO wasn't feeling the love, BUT between his silly reactions to her craziness and Dad's jokes and humor…I was able to capture some great expressions from this fun bunch!

Thank you Brungraber Fam for such a fun Saturday evening! Can't wait until next time!

The "W" twins and their crew! | Tucson Family and Twin Photographer

I loved everything about this family session!  The location provided a perfect fall backdrop, these twins were bursting with giggles and energy, and a laid back family who just wanted to hang out and have me capture them playing and being together! 

I know the Willock Family through my son's preschool!  Evan has so much fun with them so I knew taking their family photos would be a blast!  The expressions on their faces as they throw leaves, play together, and their parents toss them up, hold them upside down, and give them piggy back rides is just priceless!  

I loved being able to capture the fun this family has together!  And photographing twins (this is my 3rd set) is just one of my favorites!





One of my favorites!











Thank you Willock Fam for choosing me to photograph your family!  I can't wait until next year!

Something old, Something new, a little bit of leopard and a whole lot of cute! | Tucson Family Photographer

Something new!  For this session, Natalie and I decided to tryout a new location!  It's little grove right off the freeway.  I had seen some other local photographers take photos here and couldn't wait to try it out!  I absolutely LOVE trees and loved that this felt like a little escape from the desert!  We were a little nervous earlier in the afternoon because the weather was NOT cooperating and almost canceled!  SO glad we didn't because it was PERFECT!  The light filtered through the trees just right!

The Helinski Family is just too CUTE!  These two little spunky TOTAL girly girl, blonde beauties just like their sweet (and funny) mama combined with their laid back and fun dad made my job as their photographer just too easy!  

The girls ("a little bit of leopard") were such a hoot!  Giggly, energetic, playful, and outgoing…I think you can see by these photos - they don't really mind having their photo taken.








Something old!  While we were planning out our session - Natalie told me she loves vintage, ecletic things so, I decided to borrow this chair for our session!  Combined with a vintage filter and their great expressions…I just love it! 



This just makes me smile!


And…a whole lot of cute!




Thank you Helinski Family for choosing me to take your family photos!  I just loved spending time with you guys and capturing the bond between your girls (besties) and the love you all have for each other!

Mommy and her girls | Tucson Child and Family Photographer

When I got a call from Holly that she wanted to book photos with her and her girls - I was so excited!  She is a fellow photographer and so full of creative styling and ideas!  I just couldn't wait!  Daddy was deployed so going into this session - I just wanted it PERFECT for her!  We planned the session together and decided on two locations.  We spent half our time at Tohono Chul and the 2nd half at this super gorgeous church up on the hill by the El Con Resort.  

Her girls were a photographers dream!  Such naturals and totally used to being in front of a camera ;-).  Holly is all about candid, lifestyle, let's be ourselves photos.  So we hung out, played, sang songs, giggled,  laughed, and I snapped away!  Holly is such a sweet, patient and caring mom and that is seen through these photos and how these little girls just LOVE her.  Having a deployed hubby would be so hard but she handles it like a champ.

Probably one of my most fav photos I have taken...














Aren't their outfits SO cute?!



Love these sweet mommy-daughter moments…I may just need some mommy photos with my little ones!



Thank you Holly for choosing me to photograph the beautiful relationship between you and your daughters - so full of love and joy!
