Dance Headshots with Brenna

This gorgeous girl is auditioning to be a big time dancer in L.A. , and we had so much fun at her photoshoot!

Serious stunner, Brenna is. If the dancing thing doesn't work out for her, at least she has a bright future in modeling ;)

Fun at the Farm with Briana

Brianna's Autumn Senior Portraits

This was seriously the most fun Senior portraits- we were rolling in hay, playing in pumpkins, and hiding in the corn fields at a local farm. Brianna is the cutest and her mom was so sweet and came along patiently as we sweated our heads off and pretended it was chilly here in AZ. Stay tuned for her slideshow tomorrow! 

It's getting Spooky over here ...

I'm busy editing Halloween photos, but I just had to share some cute kiddos today. Doesn't this get you into the holiday spirit?

The Prettiest Marine Around

Sam is a small but strong girl with big big plans after she graduates. She wasn't used to all the "glam" thrown at her during her styling session and hair & makeup but she OWNED it in her photos. What made her shoot even more fun, was she brought along her cousin Briana (one of my fabulous senior reps)so we got to take some awesome shots of the girls together.

Baby Love: Meet Baby Kobe

There's something about brand-spanking new babies that just makes me weak in the knees. This little lover man was just a doll to photograph, and his big sisters cracked me up, they were so stinkin adorable. 

At just 10 days old, he was a dream since he was so sleepy! I can't wait to see him in a few months to see how big he's grown!

Senior Feature: Samantha M

How gorgeous is this girl? She's an ROTC member who plans on joining the Marines after graduation, plus she's teeny tiny and beautiful to boot!

She's also cousins with my Senior Rep Brianna, so we had some fun "family member" photos mixed in with her Senior Portrait Sessions. I'll bet their Grandma is going to swoon when she sees these of her girls.

Baby Love: Meet Baby Story

This fancy little Miss came to her shoot in a "little black dress" and an adorable headband to boot! Isn't she just a doll?

And how cute are her little toesies?  She was so wide awake and active at her newborn session, I can't wait to see her at her next session- I'm sure she'll be doing jumping jacks by then ;)

Happy October and my first Baby Love Sessions

I'm back from my "Maternity Leave" and ready to show off some of the cutest babies around! I've been  ramping up for my Baby Love Portrait Session Series by photographing a ton of my friends' new babies. There are so many adorable ones, I can't wait to share them all with everyone!

First up are these sweet little sisters, Jillian and her new baby Riley. Aren't they just the most adorable strawberry headed little sweethearts you've ever laid eyes on?

Sassy & Sweet Dancer

I had such a blast photographing Samantha- I really think it's one of the most diverse sessions I've had the opportunity to shoot. With her perfect fashion & beauty styling, and her fierce attitude, we were able to get a ton of great looking and unique shots.

Senior Rep Feature No. 4: Samantha L.

 Samantha was so amazing to work with, since she a dancer! I love love love working with dancers, because they take direction so well, and they are not afraid to try different poses. Samantha really knew how to turn on the charm and work the camera, so she was a dream to shoot.

 All her outfits were perfect and funky, and completely matched her dramatic personality. Lindsey did a Closet Shopping Session with Samantha, and came up with come fab ensembles. Hair and makeup done by Leah was impeccable as always!

Samantha currently attends the Metropolitan Academy for the Arts in Phoenix, as well as dancing at her studio- this girl has a ton on her plate! We had so much fun on her shoot,  I hope to take more photos of Sam in her dance world.

Girly Girl With The Sweetest Personality

Mikala was a doll throughout her entire shoot. She was happy and peppy and all smiles; and was up for anything I suggested. Rolling around in the grass in a dress, wearing a denim jacket in the Arizona heat, leaning into a giant leaf covered fence in her cheer uniform- she was a champ the entire time! And while I loved the "serious" faces she gave me, her smile just radiated through the camera. She was a peach to work with, and I can't wait for our next photo session!

Senior Rep Feature No. 3 : Mikala

When I met Mikala, I new we were going to get some amazing photos. She is just so friendly and bubbly and obviously incredibly photogenic. The "serious" faces were hard for her at first since she is so happy all the time, but after a few tries, she nailed it. 

All the outfits she brought were so bright and fit her personality so perfectly. Lindsey's style guides are so awesome to help the girls choose the best outfits for their sessions!

And her hair & makeup were impeccable! Leah knows just how to enhance the girls' best features without making them look like someone else. I just love my team and my awesome Senior Reps!

How Glam A Soccer Player Can Get

Samantha was an absolute DREAM to work with. She's an athletic, soccer obsessed Senior who to my surprise has a super glam model side to her. I couldn't believe how this girl who rolled into hair & makeup prep with Leah wearing zero makeup, her hair in a messy knot on top of her head, and in an old soccer tank and cutoff shorts with skate shoes on could transform into this stunning little thing in the photos. Of course, her sweet and super friendly personality shone through in the photos and I can't wait to see more of her and her family. Her mom is as much fun as she is and we all had such a blast at her shoot.

A New Start, Senior Year

Briana is one of my gorgeous Senior Reps for 2013. I've known her and her family for a few years now; and I even coached her and her sister on JV Cheer a couple of years ago. I watched her grow from a crazy, silly, giggly Sophomore to a mature, elegant, and kind Senior in a blink of an eye. She's still a little nuts, but in the best way possible. I hope to spend more time with her awesome family and photograph them all for years to come.

 Briana's boyfriend is on a mission for the LDS church, so this year was a fresh start for Briana. It started off bittersweet, but I know she's going to make the best of it and soak in all the "me" and friend time she can while he's gone. She's so lovely to photograph, and could easily model professionally so it made my job a piece of cake ;) So many beautiful images came from this shoot, and I'm so excited to share them with her and her parents.
