I’ve been the WORST blogger as of late…teasing you with 4 posts in one day, and then like one a week. LAME! I’ll get back to it, I promise. For now, I’ll leave you with a quick image that I find pretty funny, and I’m all about hillarity, let me tell you!
Popsicle sticks impart so much valuable joke knowledge, and also come in awesome shapes like “star” and “squiggle.” These shots (and about a bazillion more) are from my shoot today with the Welkers, winners of a Find a Reason session. Robin said that they were coming up on 10 years of marriage (she beat us out for the longest marriage at our high school reunion!), and had gone through a lot of trials in their life, including their son’s cancer. I set out with their family today, and despite them thinking their kids were hard, it really was a lot of fun, and they have some great shots coming (other than of popsicles!).
Drumroll please for these amazing jokes…
Get ready for this one…
Ahhh, the great jokes you have now added to your repertoire. You’re welcome. 
Thank you, Welkers! Stay tuned for more!
Brooklyn started walking!!! She (and we) are so excited, and that’s all she wants to do all day!!!
Oh, how I love my little baby
Well, this crazy rainy, windy weather has caused me to have to reschedule some of the sessions I had planned, but Lauren was brave enough to “weather” it all (pun intended). Lauren won one of the sessions I gave away in my “Find a Reason” contest because I was amazed that someone so young read my blog, plus she wanted some great pictures to remember her teenage years! She is super sweet and cute, and always has a smile on her face! She is a native to Gilbert, and wanted some photos in front of the famous silos that are one of the few “landmarks” (I guess) of Gilbert.
I love her laugh! One of my favorites…
So pretty!
Next, we headed over to the tennis courts because Lauren loooooves tennis, and I love all the fun ideas we came up with!
I love that you can see the courts behind her through the fence!
I love this shot! I think she looks so cute!
Lauren’s sister and mom came along for different parts of the session, and so we grabbed a few quick shots (I’ll keep the Charlie’s Angels shots private!)
Thanks, Lauren! I’m proud of you for braving the rainy day, and you were so much fun to shoot!!!
…the awesome seniors in the last 3 posts were all friends, and we shot their sessions simultaneously (which was 3x the fun and they were probably way more relaxed!)
Here are some shots I grabbed of them together (oh, AND did you really think I would leave you hanging on that third guitar, Benj-check the middle of the post!)
So Katie and Nina are best friends, and also helped make each other laugh
They apparently have millions of jumping photos, so we had to add to the collection:
Devin and Nina are dating (and are so completely cute together)
And Devin and Katie aren’t in a band together, but after these photos, they pretty much have to be:
And a couple of all 3 kids:
So, we shot for quite a while and they all ended up with really fun shots that showed their personalities! Thanks, you guys! And upcoming seniors, think about sharing your session with a friend!
Katie was an awesome senior as well-she brought 2 guitars to her session, and pulled off the rocker look as well as she did the pretty look!
I love this candid moment:
You’ve already seen my fave:
Yes, I love this shot with guitars. Get over it.
Thanks, Katie! You’re awesome and so much fun!
Devin is awesome because he came to our shoot with not one guitar, but THREE guitars, which were each matched to an outfit he had. Plus, the entire session was like a mini jam session, and I love having a soundtrack to shoot to!
Devin, you’re awesome, and I’m sure you’ll go far with your music from the small sample that I heard!
Nina was like the perfect senior to work with…fun, sweet, cute, interesting, with totally awesome talents! I loved all of her fun colors, her amazing eyes, and she is definitely the cutest auto tech I’ve ever met!
All of her bright colored shirts really made her eyes pop!
This is her auto repair attire…
And something a little more fancy:
Thanks, Nina! You were so much fun to work with!!!
I got to take photos of my cute best friend’s little baby bump the other day, and I have to say I absolutely love these pregnancy photos! I think pregnancy is such an important time to document! Here are just a few that I loved while I was editing through them:
This is just part one because we took SO many photos the other day! We also did a bunch with her little girl and husband in them, so stay tuned!
Today I had the pleasure of photographing three totally rad seniors back to back to back. All friends, and all seriously some of the nicest kids you’ll ever meet. They all had awesome talents and great style-seriously…what more could you ask for in a senior??? Here are some that jumped out at me right away…
Nina…
Devin…
And Katie…(this shot blows my mind!)
So much more to come!
