I’m cleaning house a little today. Backing up old pictures and I came across these. We took these back in January with my family. Family photos with my family is always fun (stressful). It goes something like this. Darby pick a place where we can do family photos. (I have six siblings....

Not mine! Our good friends and neighbors welcomed their new baby  yesterday. I was able to steal away for a few minutes to visit them and snap a couple of photos. Big sister Camryn meeting her little sister for the first time.            ...

I hope your Thursday is as wonderful and boring as mine is! We took a trip to the carwash. I bet you don’t have this much fun at a carwash. And we went to a little slide ride in the backyard.    ...

My niece was over. She’s wild.  

Today I’m thankful for Jonathan, my husband. Not only is he pretty funny, but he’s laid back, nice, hardworking and a fantastic father. He also runs a very fun blog called Lightning Octopus which covers and is a big part of the indie nerd culture in Arizona. If you like fun geeky...

Sometimes I like to go out and location scout. It’s not that I find tons of locations each time, but over the years I’ve slowly built up a really great resource of places to shoot in Arizona. If you are ever interested you can see what I have to offer over at Arizona Photo...

Arizona Family Photographer Jack. He’s all boy mixed with a little obsession for cleaning. There’s nothing wrong with that. Actually Jack has become quite funny. We were talking and teasing about who went to pre-school now. His favorite was that his mom goes to pre-school and he...

Arizona Children’s Photographer I loved shooting with Lucy. She’s fun, wild and really just wanted to run away from me. She’s also a very sweet and funny little 18 month old. Isn’t her red hair to die for? My kids will never look that cute in simple ponytails...

Meet C. He’s not only cute, but he’s funny too. We were having this big tease fest about what color Lightning McQueen is. I kept telling him I thought he was blue and then C would laugh hysterically and tell me I was wrong, he was red. I looked it up on Wikipedia, guess he’s...

I kind of like glasses. I’m working on my collection and I just received my latest pair in the mail. Well, they are orange and Jonas’ new favorite color is red/orange (he can’t really remember which is which.) So when I wanted to snap a photo of Jonas yesterday he told me...

I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot Dave and Bekah’s small and intimate wedding ceremony a few weeks ago. Their officiant was the ever wonderful and gracious Mike Kennedy. They held the wedding on the Patio of A Different Pointe of View at the Hilton Pointe Tapatio Cliff’s...

Telling Jonas to give Job a kiss may have been a bad idea. It turned into a wrestling match just after this....

  Our dear friends had their second son last week and I decided to swing by and just grab a few of the little guy. I had Jonas with me and they have an 18 month old also. So between that and the big debate on the tv it was a fun noisy time! It was nearly dark when I arrived and so we...

I try now and then to take photos of my boys in the same frame. It’s not easy and you take what you can get. Here they are playing on the messy patio that I don’t have the heart to conquer until the weather actually cools...
