I made these little lovebirds wake up extra early to be ready for pictures at 7:30am….   yikes, I know, but the morning light was so beautiful and hopefully it was worth waking up a bit early.  Nothing is better than good light!:) They were super fun,  I’m looking forward to the bridals and wedding.  Gosh. I really love my job.  Thanks Morgan and Kaylee!

The orchard in Vegas is kind of a hidden gem, not something expected in the bright lights of sin city.  What a beautiful change it was to be with a great family in the morning light in an orchard.  I wish I could say and orchard lined with apples, but we had no such luck. I did find one though!! Hey you can’t be too picky,  I was just grateful for the green.  The mother has impeccable taste, and I loved how perfectly they coordinated, with out matching… lovely.  Thank you for the morning, it was so refreshing!

The momma of this plaid family makes all of the adorable hats that I use for my newborn sessions.  She is a fabulous and talented knitter and I am always amazed at the things she comes up with. Check her out here. Her little girls are so beautiful and spunky and I had a great time chasing them around.  oh yeah, the dad is cool too.

Thanks guys!

Cindy had the idea of heading downtown for a photographer shoot being that we never seem to get on the other side of the camera. I hesitantly said yes knowing how much I can’t handle having my picture taken, but  once we started going, I got over my insecurity a little and we had a fabulous time.  I still prefer taking pictures over having my picture taken, but it was definitely fun. Here are some pics of the beautiful talented women I took pictures of….

One of my favorite families looked so fabulous in there fancy clothes! Last year we did casual in the desert and this year they wanted to just stay close to home, so we went in their backyard.  Easy enough!   They are all so beautiful and really just the greatest family.  The youngest girl never really wants me to take her pictures, but I have got some pretty crazy antics to make her look at me for a second… (she believed the whole “elephant on my head” thing a couple of times:)  Thanks Carla and family! Love you guys!

O.K., first of all I shouldn’t even say this, but I make many mistakes, so I might as well get real.

I wrote down these adorable kids photo shoot on the wrong day!!! So imagine yourself being the mother, getting your kids ready and bringing them somewhere with no cell service, and NO PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!  Really, I wanted to shoot myself for making such a silly mistake! Their sweet mom was nice enough to let me take their photos the next day after I apologized as well as I knew how.  (I obviously didn’t charge any sitting fee for all the trouble)  Sorry again sweet kids and Mom!! It still makes me sick to think you were there waiting!

Well these two are quite the bundles of joy and I had fun chasing them around Calico! Thank you Cru, Maddy, and Megan!!

We met this fabulous family a while back when we became neighbors, we have since moved, but they are still dear friends. The weather was beautiful and we got in a quick session before we lost the sun. Thanks Marshall Family!
