Beauty of Life

Maggi {Age 3}

I cannot believe how quickly time passes, how I blink and 4 years have passed. I can still recall the day I met Traci at Babies R Us and she was expecting this sweet and beautiful precious girl. I can remember talking with Traci on the phone for what seemed like a really long time discussing the plans for her maternity and newborn session. Fast forward to last week, and I am already photographing Maggi for the 4th time ( newborn, 1 year, two years and now 3 years). If time doesn’t slow down, before I know it, I will be at here wedding crying ( as I often do at weddings) but even more because I have watched her grow and become such a creative and fun little girl. During the last session I had with the family, I was told that I was NOT permitted to move away from Arizona….. I had to giggle because if I EVER did ( which I have no current plans to do) I would have to come back EVERY October just to get my fill of my sweet Maggi- she is just so adorable and too cute for words. This time around we included her second pony- Miss Baboo ( I am sure I am not spelling that right LOL). Happy 3rd birthday Maggi!!!

SOLD OUT Holiday Sessions SOLD OUT

The time is here for our annual Holiday Portrait Sessions. Because I am a mom to four very busy and energy using/draining children, whom I adore and LOVE, I am only taking a LIMITED number of sessions each month. I am allowing a little more during the months prior to Christmas in order to meet the needs of my clients. Here is the skinny on what the Holiday Special Sessions are:

$300 ( this includes tax):

is up to 6 people $25 each additional ( for individual immediate families only)

is approximately 1 hour long

can be used for family, children, senior, maternity or engagement sessions (sorry no newborn sessions)

will receive a DVD of high resolution images

takes place at location of your choice ( I love it when people have a vision of what they want their pictures to look like- so put your thinking cap on) Areas outside of Mesa/Gilbert AZ will require an additional travel fee.

In order to reserve your date, click on the drop down menu and choose your date for a session. Pay your $75 retainer fee. This fee is not refundable, it holds the date for you. Because I am limited to the number of session dates, I cannot allow for a date change unless there is an illness or emergency that comes up. So, pick your date carefully. Once the retainer fee is paid ( and the date chosen), I will email you with the portrait agreement and more information. The balance of $225 is due the day of the session.

I am so excited to do this again this year and cannot wait to see all of you again! And meet some of you for the first time!

Saturday was the first day to this beautiful couple’s 3 day wedding. This day was the traditional white dress ceremony, a day to come together with a small intimate group of friends.
The bride looked stunning as the light flooded the room she was getting ready in. Her heart could be felt beating with anticipation, as she wore it on her sleeve. She is so in love and it is obvious. It melt my heart. Her sister is purely filled with joy for her. The weather decided that a tiny little break in the heat wave might make for a wonderful wedding gift ( and the weather was right!) It could not have been a more perfect day.
The groom was calm and collected. His dashing smile peered out from behind his dark handsome self. A pink tie could not have looked better on anyone but him. He too was in love and it sparkled in his eye.

It was a beautiful, relaxing wedding that I am so honored to be a part of. Thanks to Chelsea Hudson for being my right hand gal.

I get to head back tomorrow for the Sangeet ceremony, then Saturday for an elaborate Indian wedding.
Could my job be any better?

Back in the fall of 2007 Nathalie and Chris were married at the farm. They were such a fun and loving couple. Last week Chris called me to schedule a session of their beautiful little girl ( something they had wanted to do for a while) and decided now was the time, because they are moving……far away. To another country. So, I looked at my schedule and made sure to find a time that I could squeeze them in. It was so great seeing them again, and getting to meet the apple of their eyes!
