erica & justin

What can I say Erica and Justin were so much fun to photograph! They are such a cute couple and so photogenic. We had beautiful lighting and it was just a great evening!

Abby and Sophie

Last night Tami and I had our first newborn session. I was a little nervous to say the least especially because it was twins! I am so glad Tami and I were doing it together. They are the sweetest little girls. They are so tiny and absolutely perfect! I just have one for now of Sofie and I will be adding more soon! Thank you Amy and Troy for letting us spend time with your sweet girls!

caleb

Caleb is turning 12 this month and his mom wanted to do a little birthday photo shoot! We had a great time trying out different spots at this location. Mom really wanted some with the graffiti so we got a few there too. This first one is my favorite of the night!

Eli

This is Eli, my cousin's adorable baby boy. He is 7 months old and seriously such a happy little guy.

kya

This cute girl is my cousin's daughter. They were here visiting from Utah last week and we did a little photo shoot of her cute kids one evening. Kya wants a toy story birthday party so her mom wanted to get a few pictures for her invitations. She did so good for me and it took all of maybe 10 minutes! These are a few of my favorites. I will post more later and some of her adorable baby brother too!

ken & Cari

While we were hiking around the desert in arizona I asked if I could take a picture of my sis. & brother in law. I loved how this one turned out so much I edited it a bunch of different ways. They love the black and white one best.

We have been on the road for the past ten days to San Diego-Arizona-back to San Diego and finally home. It was a lot of driving but well worth it. While we were in Arizona I tried to get Dylen to cooperate for a few pictures. It didn't work too well. It was so hot and she hates being hot so I only got a few. I was really wishing I had some more willing models to photograph because there were so many cool locations there.

Here's how we started off.... (I actually love this picture because that is a face I see far too often and would hate to forget it someday!)

she can quickly change to this with the right motivation ;)

I was loving the washed look on a lot of these pictures while I was editing. Just seemed to fit with the area and the fact that it was like 113 while we were there. Crazy.

our last day there we went exploring with daddy. We were not the tiniest bit dressed for hiking through the desert. We were in sandals (flip flops for me) shorts and I was pretty nervous about snakes and creepy crawlers. on the other side of the barrel was a funnel web spider. So cool looking but really dangerous and creepy. I didn't even get close enough to take a picture because I really dislike spiders.

the desert is definitely gorgeous and it was fun to have some new surroundings to photograph. I have a ton more to edit so I will probably add more later. Until then have a great weekend!
