Messner Family I Goodyear, AZ Family Photographer

Adorable color coordinated family, new location and a rare overcast Phoenix afternoon = amazingness!!! I loved the blue and yellow so much!
The day of the session started off rainy and super soggy! It had been raining pretty consistently for the previous 2 days and I had to cancel my morning sessions. I kept checking the weather throughout the day and was pretty worried these photos weren't going to happen. There were a few raindrops, but I am so glad the rain held off! 
I love this family and am so thankful we are living in Arizona right now so I can spend time with them and see these two little cuties as often as I do! (And take their photos!!!!) Thank you for sharing a beautifully overcast evening with me! 

O'Connell Family I Surprise, AZ Family Photographer

I photographed this fabulous family around the same time last year and I was so excited to be asked to take their photos again this year! It is fun being able to photograph families year after year because I not only get to document that moment in their life, but I also get to see their families change and grow! 

This little cutie has changed so much and just makes me smile! I got a fabulous work out chasing her all over and A TON of hugs and kisses in return. She is such a sweetheart! 

Thank you for spending your evening with me O'Connell Family! 

F-16 Photos 2013 I Luke AFB Family Photographer

In October I was contacted to take photos for the families of the 62nd Fighter Squadron here at Luke Air Force Base. Needless to say, I was beyond thrilled! I've always dreamed of taking Jet Photos!  In the past, when we've had them taken as a family, 10-15 families have signed up for the opportunity and I figured if 10 signed up it would be a pretty great turn out. I was blown away by the number of families that signed up… 27!!! 

I am SO excited to share these photos! It was an awesome experience and I am so thankful that these families let me share a few moments with them.  The AZ sunshine and warm temperatures did not disappoint. It was bright and sunny during both the morning and afternoon sessions, but what a great reminder of what it's like to be stationed in Arizona.

It is an honor to be surrounded by such amazing military families. Thank you for an allowing me to capture these memories for you and your family. Best wishes in 2014!

27 families photographed and we made it!!! Many thanks to my hubby, the Arki Family and Monica! I couldn't have done it without your support!!!
