Eating Lunchables
My conversations with kids during pictures is nothing short of entertaining! I loved his answers when I asked him how he is growing so big and strong… “I eat Lunchables!” We had lots to chat about but I was most impressed by his dedication to lunchables. : )
Dirty at the junkyard | Queen Creek, AZ Photographer
Talk about energy! He had energy oozing out from him. I tried to keep up but you see, I am much older. : ( He is so handsome and so is his mother. Ok, not handsome but gorgeous. When we met at the junkyard, I knew that he would be interested in everything! His hands show that he did indeed play and probably climbed on some things that haven’t been touched in years. I loved it… no fear-just curiosity! The nice man who owns this junkyard brought out a bucket of water and some Tide soap so he could clean up. Now, that is a hostest with the mostest!
What’s next? | Queen Creek, AZ Photographer
Each time I have the privilege of photographing this family, I count it as a blessing. It is a session full of laughs and jokes. They always keep me smiling and I never know what they will do next! Their youngest is a gem-ready with a sassy pose at all times. She is front and center-ready to roll. The others… the are occupied. : ) Thank you for such a great time at the classy junkyard.
That Mouth | Family Photography | Gilbert, AZ
So this isn’t really FAMILY but our goal that day was family pictures. The cutest little boy was sleeping with the cutest little mouth. AND, I am a lover of color, especially green. You put all those wonderful things together and I can’t help myself! Obviously, I like to post pictures that I love, right? This is sneaking to the top of the love list!
Sisters | Gilbert, AZ Photography
What is better than having your best friend also be your sister! I can see the comfort and love between these two and they were simply adorable! I have loved this image since the day it was captured at Power Ranch in Gilbert, AZ. Our goal was family pictures and their family looked beautiful. They were coordinating with black and gray/silver. When the girls twirled in their awesome holiday dresses, I stood back and snapped away. Their dad was such a trooper… he had just returned from a business trip and was ready to roll with family pictures the next day. (maybe he wasn’t happy about it but he was truly a happy camper) Anyhow, family relationships are so fun to capture, each unique. The feelings are always different for me-I know the behind the scenes shots and actions. My favorite images usually tell their story! Sisters…
The Bike Rack
(again from the front page that you may or may not have seen) I followed Luke all over the park. He wanted to show me how he could jump and run in those brand new shoes. He brought me back to my childhood, loving the simple things in life. We scoped out the ducks, the trees, the rocks and everything in between but my favorite pictures were him playing on this bike rack. To me, it summarized our time at the park, it says play! Sometimes I captures his eyes, sometimes I didn’t… sometimes he was still and others not so still. The best part of this type of photography is that you will never wonder and try to remember what Luke was like at age 4.
Spunk | Gilbert Photography
So, when I say can you show me sass and there is no problem I love it! (still playing with watermark) These girls were spunky and sassy in a good way! : )
Gilbert Photography
This was a Friday adventure! If you take a class from Wendy Schultz then you have the privilege of becoming part of her “alumni” and she arranges an adventure once a month with any students that are here in the valley. So, this is what we discovered and it was cool. VERY COOL. It was nice to meet others that have taken the class and officially meet Wendy too. I have “talked” with her in many ways except in person until Friday! I look forward to many more Friday adventures!
The littlest cheerleader
This super cute cheerleader had her very own photoshoot. She was nervous to cheer but thankfully her mom was there on the sidelines cheering right along with her. Too bad I didn’t have an assistant to catch that too! Ya know what I learned? Motherhood takes on so many roles! Little did us mothers know that while we are cooking, laundering, cleaning, and whatever else, we are also unconsciously learning (or relearning) whatever it is that our kids are learning.
Behind the scenes
Have you ever felt really moved by something or someone? Have you ever been in awe at the dedication and selflessness of another. I have much to learn about raising a family and I can tell you that this family could teach me lots! Can I just hang on to their coat tails and hope to pick up on some of their goodness? I only have 2 kids and getting us out the door, all in one piece, let alone all in the same direction seems like an impossible task at times. Hats off to this family who have 5 kids- 5 kids to dress, to feed, to bathe, to carpool, to take to appointments in all different directions and to photograph. Can you imagine it? Well, they handle it like it’s no big thing. : ) Something extra special about this family is that all 5 kids are adopted. Their dedication to family is incredible and an inspiration to me. She has done her homework and worked with several different agencies and says that Heart and Soul (in case you know of anybody who might need adoption services) has been her favorite. I love their story, their rich lives filled with children, activity, play and chaos (in a good way!). I called this behind the scenes but it ended up being The Scene. She loved this picture the most because of what it said about them, what really is happening behind the scenes is actually their true scene.
