I hate to brag but...

I've got one adorable niece!

Meet baby {H}, my lovely, tiny, super sweet and cuddly, five-day-old niece! I was so excited to get to photograph this darling that I could hardly stand it! I guess baby {H} was excited too, because she did not want to sleep (aka. pose) for this shoot. Nearly all the shots from this post took place in about thirty minutes, and we spent the other hour and a half trying to coax her into sleep. Oh well, it was wonderful talking with her mom and staring at her during the meantime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you tell I like her a little? We're so excited you're finally here sweet girl! Your cousins are ready to show you the ropes! :)

Baby A's One Gorgeous Baby - Tucson Family Photographer

Baby A is back! I've had the privilege of photographing Baby A on several occasions, and she gets more and more beautiful as time goes on. Baby A is also getting really big and strong and at four months is already scooting herself across the floor!

The weather was just perfect for a Christmas photo shoot and Baby A and her parents were all dressed up for the occasion.

 

 

 

I absolutely loved this new shooting location, but Baby A kept getting distracted by all the people and trains.

 

 

Baby A was getting a bit sleepy towards the end of our session, so we took a time-out to relax (and I snuck in for a few extra pics).

 

 

 Sweet Baby A, you're getting so big and beautiful! I love those little elbow dimples! :)

A Family and their Princess

This evening I met the sweetest family. They were so warm and friendly, laid back and fun...all the things a photographer loves to find when photographing families with little ones. What made the evening even more fun was the fact that their kids were about the same age as my kids, so I knew what to expect during the shoot (aka. lots of running around!) and I knew that I'd have a great time.

When working with young kids I like to try to find something that motivates them and helps keep their attention during the shoot. We quickly found that "acting like a princess" was just the right motivator to keep this adorable little girl going. Some times we had to dance like a princess...

And sometimes kiss like a princess...

And sometimes just pose like a princess.

Baby brother was quite the sweetie, too. At just six months of age, this little boy adores his big sister and was so pleasant to photograph.

I just love to see cuddly families!

The princess started to get tuckered out towards the end of the evening.

And for my favorite shot. This one comes right before the family was headed off to cupcakes as a reward. Love it!

It was a blast hanging out with you and your sweet princess this evening! Now off to my own little princess!

She's Growing Up - Tucson Child Photographer

Two months ago this darling baby girl made her appearance on my blog as a tiny (and I mean really tiny) newborn. Her mom really loves pics and recently had me take her baby girl's two month old photos. Sweet Baby A was defintely more active and alert than she was two months ago, and boy has she grown!

Of course, Sweet Baby A had to take in a little siesta while she was here, making for some beautiful close-up shoots.

As a mom of a not-so-little one, I find it really important to record the tiny details. Like the way her dainty ears hold those beautiful earrings...

And all the creases in those tiny hands...

Mom also brought along a few Halloween outfits, and she found a darling little hat we used as  a prop.

Sweet Baby A, I'm so happy to see how well you've grown and what a blessing you are to your parents. Keep up all the good work sweet girl. See you soon.
