Meet sweet Sienna. Last month I did Katy’s maternity session out at their home. I recently went back to meet the lovely and very tiny baby Sienna. I really enjoyed meeting this family and I have a feeling you will be seeing more of them in the future!

So here you go. A few of my favorites from our time together. Keith and Katy, it was so much fun to meet your sweet family! Have a wonderful Christmas with the girls!

Big sister Charlotte…

and one of them all together….

and we couldn’t resist using this stocking that was made for Katy…melt me!

I have loved spending time with each and every family I have photographed this season! It is fun to watch the tangible loosening up of kids during our time together. Ben, Parker and JoJo were the perfect example of this. By the time we were done they were giggling and having a great time, completely forgetting about the camera. Kim, thanks so much for letting me come hang out with your sweet kids! Enjoy your sneak peak and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Jacks Day Out {Phoenix Child and Family Photographer}

Question: How do you get a vibrant, curious, energetic 2 year old boy to sit still, look at the camera and smile??

Answer: You don’t! You give in to their amazing desire to explore every nook and cranny of their environment. You put on you running shoes, get down on the floor with them and see the world through their eyes. Or at least that is what we did with Jack. Last year when we met, Jack was 1 year old and crawling. We could put him down on the ground and have at least a few seconds to snap a few shots before he was off again. Not so much this year! He is all 2 year old boy! We chased, we smelled flowers, we played with falling leaves. His beautiful mom, Sarah did a great job of letting him be and just played along with him! Sarah…thanks for coming back for pictures this year! There are lots more great shots to come. Here are just a few from our very fun session…..

I have been really busy shooting right now and haven’t posted as often as I would like! But here is a peak at another Family session. I love when families let go of having to “Smile” and look at the camera and just give in to playing together. I loved the connection this family has together. There was lots of laughter and spontaneity! Made for a great session! So here you go, a few of my favorites…

Here is a link to a slide show with more pictures. Enjoy!
