Lifes little moments

Fall is in the air...

I love the crisp cool air that fall has to offer, of course I have to drive 80 miles North to feel it but at least I live close enough to drive up North than have to suffer thru 30 degree temperatures and 2 feet of snow.  Fall is my favorite time of the year I so love the fall colors, and the leaves all over the ground.  My favorite item of fall is my boots, I love to put on a pair of boots that zip up to my knees.  Paired with a beautiful dress or a sweater with a pair of jeans.  I almost forgot the down comforter and the fireplace...these would be my other 2 favorite items of fall!!!!  Here are  few photos that I took in Prescott this weekend, with my family.

 

 

 

I didn't even know this spot existed....

I have been to this park 100's of times, and until this evening  I didn't even know this spot existed.  Thanks to a parking lot on the freeway, my clients were a little, well alot late!  So I wasted time by exploring all of the nooks and crannies.  I found some pretty amazing spider webs, an old blacksmith shop that was built in 1846 and farm equipment that dated back to 1864.  There was even an old flag that has been hanging on the same wall since the early 1900's.  If you are ever in AZ I hope you get a chance to visit this historic park.

I cant decide...Color or Sepia? What do you think?

 

 

 

Newborn photo shoot with baby F

"OH MY GOSH" IS ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS PHOTO SHOOT!  This baby had the most amazing nursery I have ever seen.  I could have stayed all day in their home...the decor, the old door, the red armoir, the red bowl, the lush grass and of course the new baby smell!  Thank you to this wonderful family for inviting me into your home and letting me rearrange all of your furniture. Here is a quick sneak peak for you.

...and a big thank you to my assistant Karen!  I couldn't have done it without you!

Gabriela's Senior Photos

I soooo loved this photo shoot with Gabbie, she has the best smile and laugh I have ever heard!  I am still smiling even now as I look at these photos.  I honestly wanted to take her home with me, but her mother wasn't giving her up...and with a smile as cute as hers, I guess I could understand why!  

I hope you love your sneak peak Gabbie!

Fall/Winter 2009 Clothing Guide

I often get asked from my clients "what should we wear to our photoshoot?" Start mixing bright pinks and greens with warm earthy colors. If you're gonna wear black wear ALL black.

Mix up your textures, light printed cotton tees and heavy tweed coats. Make sure your socks are long, wear them scrunched up around your ankles or pull them up over a pair of unbelievably tight jeans. Denim is dark, one of the only things to wear with black. 

Accessorise with pretty silver and colored glass jewelery. Wear your hair long with wave or cut in a sleek bob and get yourself a mod inspired hat for going out on cold nights.

If I could pick out my dream wardrobe for a family, for one of my fall photo shoots this would be it...feel free to to use this example to dress your family.

 

Downtown Prescott

I love this city...it takes you back to the 1900 hundreds with it's old buildings and courthouse centered in the middle of town.  Wandering the street you will find old candy that brought me back to chasing the ice cream truck down to buy some cinnamon flavored toothpicks or rock candy on a stick.  If you love popcorn you can find every flavor imaginable!  I wish I could spend every week there, we even explored some of the backroads and happened upon this majestic lake with Pine trees that outstretched their needles to the heavens above.  Needless to say I was left breathless around every corner as we explored every inch of the Lakes hidden treasures.

Shea's Senior Photo Shoot

I love the way these images turned out, Shea really brought his A-game to this photo shoot!  Shea I hope that you love them as much as I do!

I am glad I can see....

I once heard from my Grandpa Short that Color is to the eyes as music is to the ears!  I am glad that I can see the beautiful colors that surround us each day.  It is almost as if, it is a gift to us every day from the almighty Lord himself.  I cannot think of anywhere else that I would rather be at sunset than on the Ocean.  I feel as if the colors are just 2 shades more vibrant there then any other place on earth.  

Shae you are the ultimate male model!

I loved taking your photos, next time I will get you to smile for me!!!! Thanks for working it for me...you were awesome!

CC's Senior Photos

My Senior photo shoots are well under way, I had the pleasure of meeting CC a few years ago while taking class photos at her school.  I was so excited to take her photos as her smile can light up a room.  She is always so happy and radiates her personality in everything that she does.  Thank you CC for letting me capture your Senior portraits, I had so much fun with you.  Thank you for a day full of smiles.

Enjoy your sneak peaks CC, thanks for making your photo shoot so much fun!

Raygen's Senior Photo Shoot

I can't believe my little Reggie Baby is going to graduate from High School this year.  She is all grown up now and ready to leave the nest!  We decided that since we both love the ocean so much, that is where we should take Raygen's pictures.
