Melodi and her grandboys {Gilbert Family Photographer}

With Mother's Day just around the corner, it's important to celebrate not only moms, but the mother of the moms as well! Two little one year olds wanted to show their Grandma how much they love her, and I was there to capture it on film (okay, a digital memory card, but close enough). We went to Downtown Gilbert for their special time together, and while one year olds can be challenging to get to sit still, smile, or even look at the camera (especially getting two to do it at the same time!), we still were able to capture the special bond between Melodi and her grandboys. They love her so much!

Jace is ONE! {Gilbert Family Photographer}

The adorable, happy, and smart little Jace is turning one! His beautiful parents took him to The Riparian Preserve in Gilbert to take some photos of this great milestone. Jace was completely willing (even happy!) to have his photo taken for an hour (and his parents were too!), which is a very rare event in my world. Not one tear or whimper, and only one yawn. A success all around. Even the sunset cooperated.

Krysten, Graduating from ASU! {Maricopa, AZ Senior Photographer}

The beautiful Krysten is graduating from college! We decided to celebrate with some photos at Jane Askew park at the entrance to Rancho el Dorado in Maricopa. She was a great sport and did every silly thing I made her do.

Olivia is 6 months old @ The Duke! {Maricopa Baby Photographer}

Little Olivia is so calm, sweet, beautiful, and 6 months old! I met this little model and her family at The Duke in Maricopa for some photos to mark all the changes this little mover has gone through in a short 6 months. I can't say enough wonderful things about this family or this little model. I know the photos will speak for themselves.

The S Family @ Jane Askew Park {Maricopa Family Photographer}

The S Family is a very brave family. We met at Jane Askew Park at the entrance of Rancho El Dorado in Maricopa for an extended family photo session with their little 2 year old, who is completely adorable, sweet, and ACTIVE! Like most 2 year olds, the little guy had no interest in sitting and smiling at the camera, but fortunately everyone else involved were great sports so we got some good photos regardless!

Haley is TWO! {Phoenix Toddler Photographer}

Miss Haley is TWO! I can't believe how smart, sweet and adorable this little girl is. We went to the Phoenix Zoo and grabbed some photos in between animal viewings. It was a great afternoon and if I didn't have somewhere to be, I would have photographed her all day.

Zach is Graduating! {Maricopa Senior Photographer}

Zach is a great kid, soon to be adult, who is graduating from high school this year! We headed to Jane Askew Park at the Rancho El Dorado subdivision entrance to take some photos. It's wonderful seeing what great kids we have in Maricopa, and I'm so glad my son will grow up around kids like Zach!

Stephen & Jessica, Pregnant @ The Orange Patch {Phoenix Maternity Photographer}

I met Stephen and Jessica at The Orange Patch in Mesa to photograph this special time in their lives - they're having a baby in March! Their little boy is going to be one beautiful, lucky kid.
