Also, I have to give a HUGE thank you to my friend, Jamie Burnett for this ADORABLE onesie that has been hanging over my computer for months…

And also my friends, Jason and Anna Ball for THIS adorably HILARIOUS onesie!!! And don’t forget to check out their blog for some super cute (if I do say so myself) pregnancy and hospital pics of yours truly!

Despite it being a HOT day (especially for two prego ladies), Kristin was a trooper! I was so glad we were able to get her photos in today before her sweet little baby boy arrives. And while it is hot, I sure do love the Arizona sunshine!

And a yawn:

Nope, we don’t know what we’re having, but feel free to guess all you want

Lately, I’ve had a hankering to watch the Coen Brothers’ Raising Arizona, so I can’t stop talking like Ed and calling the baby “Junior.” But don’t worry, we won’t be using Nathan Junior or Ed Junior or Hi Junior!

(AND in case you were wondering, we Arizonans sadly do not have that accent) I can’t wait to meet this new little one in July!

Last month, the innovative Tie Chair was featured in three magazines! I am so proud that my images were chosen to be in the articles as well! If you haven’t checked out this product, you absolutely MUST-it is the most amazing product for travel and home use with an infant and toddler, and is so cost effective! It is sold throughout Arizona, nationwide and also in Canada and Australia, so pick yours up today, or buy one for a friend!

It is exciting to see my images in print, and I am so happy for this amazing product to be getting such great and widespread recognition!!!
You can still buy them on www.babysteals.com today at a discounted rate, but act quick!!! (And check out my little baby Brooklyn on it, too!!!)

Okay, so this will be a massive post because I have posted a few from the pregnancy session and a few from the baby session, but here is the culmination of the photos! This is my best friend, who you have seen frequent my blog. What can I say? It’s good to have a photographer for a best friend, I guess!

This is such a cute family photo:


She asked how I “made her look so pretty” in these photos-uhhh-hello! That is how pretty you are!

This facial expression is very Ed:

I love the light in these next two…


Oh, and the SUNFLARE! (some like it, some don’t-I think it is beautiful)


This is a special place for Ed + Jenn because it is where they got engaged. Right HERE:

Sooo…on to part 2 of this post. This is baby Braelynn Leila Clark that you saw a few days ago on my blog. Here is more baby sweetness, starting with her bellybutton because I really love baby bellybuttons:

With her sister, Taylor:


I always recommend shooting newborn sessions in the privacy and comfort of your own home. There are a million possibilities.

Happy (Early) Father’s Day, Ed.



I love this little monkey…maybe because it was a gift from us to Taylor when she was little. It’s just so stinkin’ cute.

She’s already a thumb sucker!


I love this one!

If you would like to schedule a before + after double session (pregnancy and baby session), mention this blog entry and get a free mini 3×3 album with images from your sessions! Thanks for looking!

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!
