Loved snuggling this cute boy today. He was so calm even while wide awake with hiccups. Such a sweetie.

Spent the evening with the cutest little family at the "Peacock Park". This mama grew up going there, like me, and now is sharing it with her own daughter. So sweet! #azfamilyphotographer #arizonaphotographer #phoenixaz #glendaleaz #upperwestsidephx #azphotographer #familyphotographer #peacock

Did you know in additon to newborns and families, I also do studio milestone sessions? I've got a 1 year old cutie boy coming to the studio this morning and I'm loving how this set turned out. #azfamilyphotographer #azwestvalley #northphoenix #firstbirthday #milestonesessions #balloonarch #1stbirthday #azphotographer #azbabyphotographer

These cute kiddos had me pulling out ALL the stops to get these smiles but they were worth it. (PS if anyone finds a gold mickey mouse hoop earring on Thunderbird mountain, that's mine 🙃)

60% of the time it works every time. If you've been my client for a while you probably experience my trick to getting great smiles for couples portraits. I get them posed nice and close, ready for and intimate moment, then I instruct them to "Whisper in their ear what you had for breakfast in your best cookie monster voice". The reactions are always priceless. This couple totally nailed it and were such good sports. They even mentioned they should remember this trick for when they have an argument. 🤣 So there you have it. Cookie monster voices. Saving photos and marriages.

Great time meeting the sweetest family this evening. These kids were just darling and so great at following directions! (And luckily no additional snakes crossed our path, though we were all on high alert 😬)

This photo of my cutie girl was also a finalist, this time in the "Children" category. It also received the most "hearts" from people voting out of any of my submissions. I almost didn't even enter this one. It's always funny to me to see what stands out to other people.

I gave the @shootandshare photo competition another chance this year after I found out they had a change in leadership. And I'm excited to post my results over the next few days starting with this one! It was a finalist in the "share joy" category.

This scene from A Goofy Movie is probably the main reason I wanted to be a photographer. While most days I'm pretty Goofy getting all the smiles, I do have moments photographing my own kids where I wish I had a Velcro pad like Pete to stick on my kid to keep them from running away.
