The Messner Family

       Arizona is my home away from home and one of the reasons I consider it that (and cant wait to move back) is because of this family. Mrs. Messner and I started out our careers and friendship working together teaching first grade. We spent almost everyday together for 4 years and had a blast. I love when I come to visit because it's like I'm visiting family. We stay up late, eat lots of yummy homemade salsa (thank you Mr. Messner), watch fun movies, and always create more memories.

       I have loved watching your family grow and have been honored to document it in pictures. Thank you for aways being so enthusiastic when I wanted to use your little cutie pie as my model and for being a constant encouragement to me and the start of this business. Enjoy!

"How many more pictures are you going to take of me today?"

The Thompson Family

       The Thompson family is another Arizona family that is near and dear to my heart. Our friendship didn't start out in AZ, but all the way across the country in Pennsylvania, the summer after my senior year in high school. Adriane and I met through my sister and ended up working together at the pool snack shack at a local country club. My sister wanted us to meet since I was going to be attending the same college. We hung out, along with the Mr., throughout college and then my junior year we were roomies! I have seen you go from a couple, to husband and wife, to first time parents, and now to a family of 4! I was so excited to visit and meet sweetie pie #2 for the first time.

       Not only did I get to spend some extra time with the Thompsons during the mini-session, but I was also able to use the Adriane's camera that she uses for her photography business. She is amazing and I now have camera envy. You can check out her work on her website: ART Photography. This family is yet another reason why I am SO excited to be moving back to Arizona. I can't wait! 

The Texidor Family

I just love this family! They are so much fun and I was so excited when they contacted me for a session during my visit to Arizona! I met them at Wednesday night Bible study and had a blast getting to know them during my time in Arizona! Now that we are moving back, I can't wait for my husband to get to know them as well! From your snazzy coordinated outfits to all of your beautiful eyes, it was so great spending an evening taking pictures and catching up with you! Thank you for such a fun session and helping me add to my joke bank! 

The Morey Family

I said it with the sneak peek picture and I'm going to say it again… I can't get over this little guys beautiful eyes!!! I feel like I could get lost in them! This session was the first of many mini-sessions during my visit to Arizona and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing family to photograph! This family is bursting with love, especially for this little cutie, and I'm so glad I was able to spend my afternoon capturing some special moments. Thank you!
