A peek from today's session. I couldn't resist putting this one up. I can't stop laughing! ;)

{amato family}

Last weekend I met the Amato's out at my favorite spot to get some shots of their little guy, Nathan, as well as their whole family. I fell in love with this lil' dude like, instantly. I mean, how could I not? Blonde hair, bright blue eyes, an ARGYLE sweater.. Ahh, I was in love! He is so precious I just can't stand it. You don't have to look far to see where he gets his good looks from either. His mom, Aimee, is drop-dead gorgeous and his dad, Jason, is very handsome too. Their little family is so sweet and was a lot of fun to shoot. Enjoy this awesome fam!

This one makes me smile :)

Nathan loved being tossed up in the air by his dad. Precious!!

OMG. I wanna hang this by my desk so I can smile at it every day.

Just look at how beautiful this family is.

{brittany & pj wedding}

Everything about Brittany and PJ's wedding was absolutely beautiful. I met Brittany and her entourage of gorgeous ladies at the Inn at Eagle Mountain in Fountain Hills to capture her getting ready and beautifying {is that a word??} herself. The ceremony was then held at SunRidge Canyon Golf Club across the street, and wow, the views were stunning. The ceremony was so sweet and was full of laughs, tears, and many sentimental moments. Then the party continued late into the night and was one of most fun receptions ever. There was a photo booth, smore's station, Banana's Foster station {get it, Foster? their last name? haha, classic!}, dancing, food, family, friends, just everything you can imagine. A big shout out to Lavishly Luxe Floral Design for all of the beautiful flowers and A Day to Cherish for planning the wedding and making everything flow smoothly. 

They are such a great couple. If you remember my blog from their engagement pictures, then you remember me talking about how they balance each other out. They are both totally awesome and I feel lucky to have them as family, friends, and clients. Thank you so very much for allowing me into your lives and capturing this special day.

Loooved her shoes.

Beautiful group of girls! They are all so amazingly sweet. {You might recognize Tiffany from previous maternity and baby sessions ;) }

The looks on their faces are priceless the first time they see Brittany in her dress.

I'm all about everything and anything sentimental. This is Brittany's Grandmother's charm bracelet and it was charming.

Brittany's Grandpa is totally funny and completely awesome!

Part of the ceremony..

I adore this sweet little moment after their first kiss as husband and wife.

My amazingly talented friend Amanda Stephan helped me out for the day and captured this shot of Brittany.

The happy couple!

I love how they just seem to be so happy together.

The toasts were great. They were teary and funny.

PJ's grandparents were the couple together for the longest. Everyone cheered them on as they twirled across the dance floor. It was one of the sweetest moments of the night.

These girls love to dance!

This little girl was so darn happy to catch the bouquet!

One of my faves. Just love it. I'll end with this one.

{baby tyson}

Last weekend I met Sloan and her new baby Tyson over at her mother's home in East Mesa for a newborn session. As soon as I walked in the door, I could just tell how sweet Sloan and her family is. She is so soft-spoken, well-mannered and simply nice. She also has this whole calming effect about her... Tyson is one lucky baby! Speaking of Tyson, he is such a cute little boy. He has some very squishy cheeks and extremely kissable little baby lips! I had a great time spending the afternoon with Sloan and her mother and of course, baby Tyson.

I always encourage my clients to use objects that have meaning to them and this blanket was it! Sloan's great grandmother made it decades ago and Tyson looked perfect laying atop of it.

I love this tender touch.

Cutest onesie ever: frog on the front, wand on the back =]

Remember those lips I was talking about??

One of my faves.

Oscar is Sloan's mom's french bulldog. I am obsessed! I think he deserved a spot on my blog. =]
