Wilson {family} session + {engagement}

I've known Jon a long time - and when he called last fall to ask me to do his daughters newborn I was surprised and pleased.  His wife Jenna drove all the way from Winslow with sweet little Landie and we had a fantastic newborn shoot.  Now months later Jon and Jenna are preparing to throw a wedding to renew their vows and celebrate their marriage with friends and family and they were in need of some "engagement" shots for their invites and a few family pictures as well, so we met in Jerome to capture some fun moments with their sweet family.

Gina {nursing/mommy and me} session

Oh Gina - what can I say about this awesome mama?  From her stunning maternity session, to her emotional birth story, to her sweet newborn session, to her fun family at Christmas we have shared a lot of moments in pictures over the past year!  When my friend and fellow photographer Chance, with Perfect Chance Photography, messaged me to tell me that Gina had won a nursing session with her and asked if I wanted to tag along and take my version of the session I said yes! in a heartbeat!  We met Gina at a gem of a location on the Verde that my husband scouted out for me a few months ago and had a wonderful time wading in the water, getting bug bites and even playing some "musical clothes" in order to keep everyone as dry as possible!

The moments we captured are precious, perfect and pure. <3

Welcome Quinn!

My third child arrived this Tuesday evening after a lot of waiting on my part!  She is our longest baked and smallest child at 7lbs 11ozs and 20 inches long - born at 40 weeks and 1 day.  She's a bundle of amazing sweetness who sleeps and nurses like a champ and we are all in love!

I'll be taking some time off to bond with miss Quinn and keep my older two feeling loved too, but I look forward to being back with some fabulous maternity and newborn sessions in June, a homebirth in July and lots more over the summer.  Love to all my fabulous clients!

Tristen {newborn} session

Sweet little Tristen was one of the best sleepers I've ever had!  He slept soundly through his whole session, except for occasionally showing me one sleepy eye!  His adorable big sister was super sweet too and I had a great time photographing this whole family!.

Tiffany

I was one happy photographer when my new camera arrived on my doorstop, but thanks to this crazy pregnancy I've been having I really haven't been doing any sessions.  But I just had to try out my camera, so Tiffany and I headed down to the river early one morning to try it out!  It was FREEZING cold and we only got a few pictures, but I am officially in love with this camera!  Can't wait for my new lens to arrive too!

Julianna is 5!

Sweet Julianna was tons of fun, full of sass and spunk!  Her mama and I struggled to keep up with her at her session as she skipped all over the woods!  She was a natural model though and full of smiles and cute poses!

Braelynn Heart {cake smash} session

Ah sweet Braelynn!  I met her mama and daddy when I did her big brothers pictures in the fall of 2012.  A few months later I did her mama's maternity and have over time become great friends with the family.  Brae was born Feb 14th last year while I was photographing her Aunt and Uncle's wedding and she was my first newborn session in Arizona.  She has grown so much since then and I enjoyed every moment of Brae's cake smash session!

So excited to celebrate one year with sweet Braelynn!  And of course a quick look back to her newborn days is a given!  Happy almost one year Braelynn Heart!

Wishing Ashley much luck and happiness as she brings her little man into the world very soon!
