Miss M | Sunrise | Pinetop Arizona Children Photographer

I was had a great time photographing Miss M. As you can see she is so incredibly adorable and took direction better than some adults I know. These are her special 3 year old portraits and we drove pretty far out to find a special spot for her pictures. Here are some of my favorites:

Sara C and Family | Pinetop Arizona Family Photographer

Here is a family studio session from earlier this week. Sara is a friend that works in the office next door and we have been "talking" about doing a shoot with her and her kids for some time and we were finally able to nail down a date for a shoot. I love how some of the looks that we got out of here little ones. Below are some of my favorites. To see the entire album of the shoot you can go here: http://smu.gs/17MAUdL

Ms. M and Ms. L | Pinetop Arizona Children Photographer

I had so much fun with these two cuties out on the Mogollon Rim walk you could hardly call it working. Ms. M and Ms. L are cousins and best of friends and we had a great time playing and dancing and making some really fun pictures. Watch the slideshow to the end there are some great clips featuring their dance moves at the end.

The Lunt Family | Arizona Family Photographer

The Lunts are some of my favorite people. I've known JC for years and it has been so much fun to see his family grow.
Nikki and JC just recently had a baby and wanted to get some images done for this wonderful time in their lives:

Casandra and Nyla

September and October were so crazy busy for me I am just going through my photo-library now and trying to catch up on the blogging I got behind on. While I have been shooting mostly weddings this year it really is nice to get a break from white dresses and tux's and chase little kids around a park, every once in a while. These guys are from my hometown and I went to high school with their Mom and Aunt. I really think it's great when parents recognize the importance of getting great images made of their kids. These kiddos were so adorable and I'm so glad I was able to catch a couple grins from the Nyla.

The Belnaps | Pinetop, AZ Family Photographer

The Belnaps are friends of my family up in Pinetop. We took advantage of my trip up there for the wedding a couple weeks ago to get some family pictures done while I was in town.




pretty backlighting.

When big brother got done posing along side this tree, little brother propped himself up there all on his own posing the same way...it was pretty stinkin cute!





This last image was my favorite because it's a little different setup than what I usually look for but I really like how the hard sunlight from the back creates a rim and almost frames the family.

The Hughetts - Idaho Family Photographer

We spent some time in my wife's hometown this last week and took the opportunity to do some pictures for her brother and his little family of four.


This little guy was calling me "uncle jelly bean" because I was bribing him to do stuff all week using "jellybeans" as incentive.


The times when we could get the pacifier away from this lil one were few a far between but when we did we managed to get some cute images.

New Arrival | Arizona Family Photographer

This gorgeous family just had a recent addition to their family and we got together to take some pictures. Prepare yourself for some SUPER precious pictures.

We brought the whole fam in get a relaxed picture in mom and dad's room.

Baby Winfield/ Mesa Arizona Baby Photographer

Baby Winfield had his own special portrait session today in studio. He was SUCH a good baby! You don't often find kiddos this old that can smile on cue (which made my job a whole lot easier).








As you can see he is quite flexible.


He stuck with it for well over a half hour and then decided to take a nap so we finished by taking some sleepy pictures.
