{emilia, jasmine & andi}

Last night was my cousin Emilia's first Homecoming! She asked if I could take some pictures of her and her friends before the dance and I was more than happy to oblige. It was fun thinking back to my first Homecoming dance when I was a freshman....Oh how long ago it was! These girls are so darn cute and so sweet. I still can't believe what a beautiful young woman my cousin has grown up to be!

Beautiful girls.

Love this one!

Ahh....friendship.

I mean, WOW, Emilia!

This girl is going to be a heart breaker for sure.

One of my faves. That smile is contagious!

I'll end with this one because it makes me smile =]

I took a little adventure out to Jamie and Jason's home in Phoenix last week to shoot their new baby boy Chance. Upon meeting them, I could tell that this was one sweet family. And lemme tell you, Chance is such an angel and was a dream to shoot. He is one happy lil' boy! I had a great time getting to know Jaime, Jason, Chance and their cool cat Vegas.

Cutest. Frown. Ever.

Love his little smile!

Jaime and Jason have THE coolest cat. They wanted to include her in some of their portraits, which was completely awesome.

What a beautiful family!

I can't wait to have a moment like this with my child one day.

{brittany & pj}

When Brittany asked if we could do her and PJ's engagement session at Saguaro Lake I got very excited! The desert is absolutely gorgeous in that area. Although I've never been to the marina before, I discovered how beautiful it is there too. I had a lot of fun with these two lovebirds. Brittany is my completely cool second cousin and PJ is her equally cool fiancee. They go so well together and are both lucky to have found each other. I can not wait for their wedding next month. It's going to be beautiful!!

My fave from the day. Could PJ look any happier?

What a hot couple! Brittany's looks could seriously kill.

Love, love, love the way PJ is looking at Brittany.

Rawr.
