Kaitlyn {Phoenix High School Senior Portrait Photography}

Sandi Shipley — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:04:58 +0000

Meet Kaitlyn, my final High School Senior of the 2010 Season. And what a fun session to end with this year! I loved meeting Kaitlyn and had a great time shooting her Senior Portraits. In her pre-session questionnaire, Kaitlyn’s mom wrote “I want her to remember the smell and presence of Jesus swirling through and around the pain. I want themes that are part of our family like authenticity and justice and fierce love to be “keepers”. I want her to be released into this next season with a sense of having been blessed as a woman. I want her to remember that she is beautiful.” Wow. Loved that! I so hope it is true for them post-session as well. Kaitlyn you are beautiful! And so full of light and creativity. You made my job so easy with how open you were to everything I wanted to try! Here are a few of my favorites from our time together. Enjoy!

Jansen {Phoenix High School Senior Portrait Photography}

Saturday afternoon I got to hang out with Jansen and his mom, Chris. Chris is one of my favorite women on the planet. She is amazingly funny and so sweet! I was beyond thrilled when she asked me to do Jansen’s Senior Portraits. Chris clued me in to the fact that Jansen loves playing his guitar and is heading off to college to study Architecture. With the combination of those two in mind, I had the perfect spot to shoot! We could not have asked for a more gorgeous day. Jansen did amazing. We laughed and chatted and he was a natural in front of the camera! Thank you, thank you for letting me be a part of this day with you! I so enjoyed our time together. Not to mention a certain very cool chair…in the back of a truck….that wasn’t exactly ours….hypothetically of course!! Enjoy your sneak peak! Lot’s more to come

A new favorite….

Oh my, look at those baby blues!!!

Meredith & Andy {Phoenix Maternity, Newborn, and Child Photography}

I was really excited when Meredith contacted me a few months back to schedule her Maternity session for this spring. The day of her session arrived…but so did the rain clouds! So we rescheduled for a few weeks out. The rain showed up AGAIN. Meredith was great. She really wanted a bright sunny day so we just rescheduled for another two weeks out. Low and behold, no rain clouds. But a sick little girl. (Mine!) We ended up having to reschedule about 4 times before we actually met up this past Sunday for her session! A true Murphy’s Law of events may have preceded her actual session, but our time together was lovely! The sun was shining, the day was breezy and warm and Meredith was absolutely radiant.

Andy, Meredith’s husband of three years, was a riot. He had us laughing the whole time. But the thing I will remember most about this session was they way he looked at her. My, oh my. Andy looked at Meredith like she was the most beautiful, amazing, funny, intelligent woman on the face of the planet. Every woman should be looked at like that at least once in her life. I had a great time spending time with them and I am so looking forward to meeting their new little boy when he makes his appearance! Until then, enjoy just a few favorites from her Baby Belly session…

Michelle’s Baby Ella Belly

My friend Michelle came by a few days before her C-Section was scheduled to take a few shots of her Baby belly. She had her 2 sons with her and we had a sweet morning getting some quick shots of her last few days of pregnancy. The boys were so sweet! Kissing her belly and talking about how excited they were to meet their new sister. Baby Ella has made her appearance and I’ll be doing her pictures next week. Can’t wait!
