BUSY as a BEE

My kids are obsessed with Bee's right now. Not a love, more of a hate toward bees if they are real. Every fly is a bee. Which can be interesting at times. Not fully sure why I found the need to share that but I did. I have been Soooo busy lately. Between my "8-5" job at the doctors office, my photography, being a mom of two girls and being a wife, I rarely have time to just SIT....sad thing...I LOVE IT! I have become more and more confident with each session. I have found that the past few sessions, I just shoot. I dont even think about what I am doing, its becoming almost second nature. I feel most at ease and comfortable when taking pictures, it has become a true outlet for me. I've started saving money from my sessions to upgrade. Its going to take awhile but I WILL own the D300 or D700.

With all this being said, since I have been BUSY AS A BEE, I have been neglecting my blogs. So....pictures from my recent session will follow......

Dawn -I- Glendale, AZ portrait photography

Back in November (I think it was November) I did a maternity session with the Marshalls. Dawn has a new grandbaby. That's right the Marshalls had baby Joseph one week ago. Dawn came all the way from California to visit with the new baby and she was sweet enough to want to share some time for a mini session with me to get some photos of herself for her hubby. She was such a nice lady and I enjoyed her company a lot. Ok ladies can you believe she has 6 kids?! She looks great doesn't she! Dawn I hope both YOU and your husband enjoy the pictures!!! You're beautiful both inside AND out!!!

"M" Family -I- Glendale, AZ Family Photography

Meet the "M" Family. You may recognize little "M". Her name is London (oh how I love her name) and she was the subject of one of my first sessions! Mommy "M" is pregnant with another little girl, due in March. And London just turned 18 months. What better reasons to have a session?! I will post more pictures once mommy and Daddy approve. but for now...Enjoy these:

Lucy -I- First Birthday Photography

LUCY IS TURNING ONE!!!! I met Lucy back in November when Lucy's mom and dad did their wedding party pictures with me. She was MISERABLE in November. She cried  and wanted nothing to do with pictures. BUMMER! She was sick so its to be expected! Let me tell you, for her first birthday pictures Lucy was a DOLL! She is such a sweetheart and she photographs so well. She brought her new puppy with her too, they even shared some cake!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY!!!

 

 

exciting

All kinds of exciting things going on. After my Boudoir session my email has been blowing up. A lot of people wanting to book sessions! I am extremely excited about it. I am really busy the next few weeks, but don't be afraid to contact me, I can always squeeze some more in :)

Also, tomorrow I am doing another Session with Too Strong Apparel.We're doing photos of the clothing for the website. They should all be up by Thursday night. On Sunday Joe "Deisel" Riggs is fighting on Showtime and Too Strong Apparel is his sponser!

Lots of big things coming my way. I am thankful for every session I book and I am thankful for everyone who has believed in me! THANK YOU!!

Jessica -I- Boudoir photography

Seriously, this was such a fun session. It was my very first attempt at boudoir and I am so happy Jessica was my first client. She is so outgoing and made it fun. I had visioned my first boudoir session having a tutu. Don't ask me why. But I thought a cute, short, sexy, flirty AND black tutu would be so fun. Why buy one when you can make one? So I made my first tutu for my first boudoir session. Jessica worked that tutu. She loved it and had a hard time taking it off. I definitely see more tutus in the future!!






I had so many fantastic pictures and I wish I could share more, BUT some are a little more then Jessica would like to show the world wide web...sorry. If you want to see some classy yet sexy photos, then book your own session :)

Sami -I- Senior Portraits

Sami is my husbands 3rd cousin. She will be entering her senior year this next school year. Every January her and her mom venture from South Carolina and come to visit the Arizona family. Sami and I planned on doing some sample senior pictures for her. Of course they plan their visit the worst week EVER...We had the worst storm we have ever had this past week. Arizona actually had tornado warnings and reports of some touching down. Anyone who knows Arizona weather...this is very weird. We received over 4 inches of rain in one week. The day we had planned for pictures, I think we received almost 3 inches of rain. Either way we were determined to take a few pictures, rain or shine. I am thankful for the 5 minute break from pouring to sprinkling and for my mother in laws super cute bedroom! I think we did good considering the weather conditions:
