Newborn Session:: Chad, Telle and Baby "K"

I had the pleasure of meeting this family for the first time today. I gotta say that Mommy and Daddy are doing a great job with this little one. This little girl is a photographers dream! Not only does she have the cutest cheeks, she was out towards the end of the session and just let me mold her every which way. She was just AMAZING! Here are a few of my favorite images.

Newborn Session:: Martin, Ericka and Baby "J"

So did I mention that we've been busy these last couple of weeks. ;) Well my little brother welcomed his first born on Christmas Eve. I finally got a chance to meet him on New Year's Eve. He seems to be a pretty good baby. He didn't cry much when I was around. But Mommy and Daddy says he's a night owl and likes for Mommy and Daddy to stay up with him for a few hours before he's ready to go to bed. Just to let you know Baby "J" that I don't believe a word they say and I know you are a perfect little angel. ;) Anyways, here are a few of my favorite images from our session.

These are the images they chose for their announcements.

Wedding:: Jason & Jessika Ralph

Wow!! What a wedding! All the planning and preparation that went into this wedding was outstanding. There were a few things that were done a little different from some of our past weddings. This couple chose to see each other before the ceremony. I know, not so traditional but we were able to get some great images without all the pressure of having to rush the Bride and Groom. This is something I would strongly recommend for any bride and groom who's planning a wedding. It makes me wish I thought of that for my wedding.

Jason and Jessika were just so pleasant to work with. The families, oh the families, so PLEASANT as well. We left the wedding feeling like we have known everyone for years!!

We would like to thank everyone who made this wedding memorable for Jason and Jessika. We really enjoyed being in the company of you all.

Monica & Joe

This was the last shot of the night. So glad we caught them as they were about to part. This is one of my favorite images.

Jason is waiting to see his Bride for the 1st time.

Jason and Jessika were married at the Wyndham Hotel in downtown Phoenix. They really have done a number on that place since I was last there. It was beautiful!

The flowers were provided by Avant-Garde. They did a great job with the floral arrangements.

Family Session:: The Aguilar Family

I am so glad to finally be posting again! Business has been a little CRAZY these last two months which is a good thing! We're not complaining. :)

I shot my sister's family a few weeks ago. I'm so glad that we finally got around to doing it. I believe her last family portrait was taken when her oldest was 2. She is now 4 and since then they have added a new one. Here are a few of my favorite images from the session.

Mom and Dad are still feeling the Love. :)

This has to be my favorite image of the girls.

The Reyes Family

This was a first for me. I have not done a portrait session with a pet before this day. I can't remember what kind a dog she is but she was HUGE and is only a pup at 9 months old! I got to go back home to Morenci/Clifton for this shoot and I just love shooting down chase creek. There are so many cool textures there. We shot there for about 30 minutes then moved out to the "boonies" where the Reyeses live. These were some of my favorite shots! Love setting sun light and mountains. Here are just a few of my favs from the session.

Kisses, kisses.

Lily was a tough cookie but I love this shot. I believe this was right before she licked my glasses...haha

6 Month Cutie Pie

Here is another one of "our" babies. Baby "P's" mommy and daddy have her on our 1 year program. Which is my reason for saying "our" babies. I almost feel like they are because I get to see them grow. The last time I saw baby "P" she was only 3 months. She wasn't movin' much but NOW she is a movin' MACHINE!! She had me and momma working pretty hard in the beginning but began to slow down after an hour of shooting. Even with all that moving around we got some great shots. Here are a few of my favs from the session.

Carrillo Wedding

What comes to mind when we think of the Carrillos? CLASSY!! Joe and I really had a great time photographing this wedding. The couple was great and the wedding party was AWESOME!! Definitely a fun bunch! Here are a few of the MANY favorites. The wedding slide show will be coming soon, so keep on the look out.
