Babies::.3 Month Session: Our own.

Well, here he is!! Our little guy at 3 months already! I can't believe the time has passed by this fast. It almost seems so much faster than our other three. Maybe because I know he is my last and I am desperately trying to hold on to this one as long as I can. Both hubby and I are in no hurry for him to grow up.

Here are a few of our favorites from out little stinkers session. :)

Personal::. Our Family Biggest Loser Competition

My family has decided to get healthier together and to make it a little more interesting we have all pitched in money for the BIGGEST LOSER. The amount has totaled about $500! We've also had some kind donations from my mother-in-law and Dad. So far everyone has done very well. So let's meet the contestants.


Team Safford: Grace (mom), Martin (little brother) and Janelle (sister-in-law)

Team Mesa: Monica (me), Eleanor (little sister), Ken (brother-in-law) and Roxanna (baby sister).


We have been at this for about 4 weeks now and some of us have seen some major results already!

Roxanna was the BIGGEST LOSER for the last weigh-in.

Let's give it up for JANELLE!! She is the BIGGEST LOSER this week! Woot Woot!! She lost a total of 6 pounds for a total weight loss of 2.69%

We will be weighing-in in another two weeks.

Babies::. 6 Month Session

Here is my nephew Baby "A" at 6 months!! I tell ya, these babies grow WAY too FAST! We took Baby "A" on-location for his 6 month session and boy was it HOT but it didn't even seem to phase Baby "A" he kept a happy face the whole time. Here are a few of our favorite images from the session.

Babies::.9 month session with Baby "J"

I had a great session with Baby "J" just a little over a week ago. He is such a little hammy-ham!! Look at those curls in his hair! I should also mention that his mom made a great assistant who I need to thank for some of the nice lighting. :) Here are a few of my favorite images from the session.

Personal::.Twilight: Eclipse

My sister's and I FINALLY had a chance to go see Eclipse. Yes, I do like Twilight. I was sucked in by my little sister. I saw the first movie on DVD and was hooked. I'm glad I do like it because it give me and my sisters a reason to "have" to hang out. ;) I'm always happy when I get sister time. We are seriously some of the silliest girls when we get together. We cry every time we get together............tears from CRAZY laughter!! haha I love these girls so much. Here are some images from our outing. These were taken from my little sister's Droid because I forgot a memory card for my camera. :(

Above is me and my baby sister. We were 10 minutes late so we had to sit in the 2nd row from the screen. A little too close to Edward for my liking.

This is my little sister enjoying her yummy peach tea.

This flat bread was SO good. I got it with tomato, mozzarella and basil.

Roxanna enjoying the bread.

We ate at Brio Italian at San Tan Village in Gilbert. I loved the atmosphere. The decor was simple and I LOVED the lighting. They had sky lights (I think that's what they are called) which allowed the natural light to pour in. And the food was SO delish. Thanks for the suggestion, Ella.

Babies::. 6 month session

I don't think I'll ever get over how fast babies grow. This is my brother's little boy who is now 6 months. Just 3 months ago, when I photographed him, he was still in the arms and wasn't doing much. Now, he is sitting on his own and rolling all over the place. Can you say "trouble?!" haha.... Well, here are a few of our favorite images from the session!

Newborn::. Welcome Baby "K"

I can officially say that I am off of my maternity leave. I've enjoyed having a few weeks off to spend time with my new little guy but I'm also excited to be back to photographing newborns and babies. It really is AWESOME because I get to relive all the excitement through the eyes of my new parents. I truly am thankful that I get to be a part of building the 1st memories of a child's life. Anyways, enough jibber-jabber. Let's get to who this blog is really about...... Baby "K!" We got to meet baby "K" last week at just 8 days old! He did an AWESOME job! He was awake when we needed him to be and slept through the entire sleeping baby images and might I mention that he didn't do his "business" on my blankets! That's a first. :)

Congrats to the Enrico's! He sure is something special.

Here our a few of our favorite images that we got from our session.

Newborn::. Welcome Baby "S"

It has been a while since our last blog. We've been pretty busy since our last session with our newest addition finally here. We are now the proud parents of our 4th child. Things have been a little crazy around here trying to get back into the routine of having a new baby. We are slowly but surely working our work routine back in. We have been blessed because he has such a mellow personality. It doesn't take a whole lot to make him happy so he let's us get a lot more work done than we thought we were going to. Of course, we too needed to do our newborn session which we found quite difficult with 3 other children in the house but we managed and below are a few of our favorites.

Here is a little video we made with our hospital images.

Children's Session::. Palma Kids

This was a session that Joe and I did last Friday. Our very last session before I left for my maternity leave. I'm happy that we got to squeeze these kiddos in before they leave for Washington State in a few months where their Daddy is stationed. These are a few of our favorite images from the session.

Keep a look out for the slideshow coming soon.

Senior Session::. Daisy

Joe and I did a Senior session in Safford, AZ two weeks ago. Daisy came all the way down from Deming, NM to have her session done. We got a lot of great shots. Here are a few of our favs from the session. We will be posting a slide show soon.

Newborn Session::. Baby "C"

I had the pleasure of meeting Baby "C" for her newborn session last week. Her mommy did such a good job at picking out her head pieces. They made for some great hand-painted images. Here are a few of my favorite images from the session.

1 Year Session::. Baby "P"

Another Maxwell's Photography baby graduate!! Baby "P's" mom had her on our 1 year baby plan. I have been photographing her since she was 3 months. It's SO hard to believe that a year went by that quick! I want to thank you, Stephanie and Jason, for letting me be a part of her 1st year. She really has been a JOY to photograph.

Happy 1st Birthday, Baby "P"!

Here are a few of my favs from the session.

Too many favorites to choose from soooooooooo.........

1 Year Session::. Baby "C"

Well, she's FINALLY made it! Baby "C" is now a Maxwell's Photography 1 year graduate. I have been photographing her since the age of 3 months. It's been an amazing journey with her and I'm sad that it has come to an end. NOT because I don't want to photograph her but because the family has decided to move to South Carolina sometime in the fall. :( We are sad but excited for the family's new venture. Thank you so much Alexa and Casey for allowing me to be such an important part of Baby "C's" first year.
Here are some of my favs from the session.

And because I couldn't just pick a few......
