.{9 months session, gilbert arizona}.

Jordan was one of my very first "clients." His parents are very good friend of mine from college. Daisy and Andy were kind enough to let me use their 3 month old (at the time) as my test subject. To see those pictures to the pictures we did at 6 months, to these from 9 months has been very rewarding.  I've been able to see growth in my pictures and editing-not to mention watching Jordan grow up right in front of me.

The family was out in Arizona staying with us as our very first house guest in our first home. It was soooo exciting. Andy was out interviewing for residency. We hope they come here! Just saying. After work one day, we did the following shoot.  Jordan was being camera shy for face shots, we went with it and here is what we got.

A special thank you to my friend Alli for letting us use her piano!

.{family session, christmas, ahwatukee, arizona}.

The Springstroh family was the second family that I have ever shot. Their daughter was also one of my Kindergarteners last year. Here are a few shots from their session in Ahwatukee.

.{family mini session, gilbert arizona}.

Here is a session I did just before Christmas. I know right, Christmas?  Being a teacher full time has made photography something that is on the back burner. Sadly I wish it wasn't. But for not it is.

This family is one I know really well since it happens to be my sister and her family.  Here are a few shots from their session that I did for Christmas cards. -Enjoy

Wasn't sure which finish I liked better. Used a template from Flora Bella.

I had the privilege of working with the cute Dorris family. They are one of the nicest families I have  worked with. Katie is a teacher too and completely understands my time frame with returning prints, etc.  I appreciate that more than anything. Here are a few shots we did near sunset in Gilbert.








I can't wait until next time!
