Kolby and Jourdan... Oh and Harper! | Phoenix Engagement Photographer

This shoot is near and dear to me!  This is my little brother and his soon to be new family!

Over Thanksgiving Jourdan and Harper came to AZ from ID to meet our family...  

My brother first met Jourdan while serving his mission for our church in Idaho.  Once he got home in July the two of them began texting and talking ALL THE TIME! Ü  It quickly turned into a romance and when she came down for Thanksgiving my brother "popped the question"!  Her answer?!  Yes!!
Which of course meant, engagement pictures!!  That's where I came in! Ü

A plus to this, not only am I getting a new sister-in-law... but I'm also getting a niece!!


Meet Harper!  Isn't she a doll?!  We all fell in love with her over Thanksgiving!!  How can you not?!





We're actually headed up to Idaho in a week for their wedding, so before I shoot that, I figured I better post their engagements!!  Taken me enough time, huh?!
I'm SO excited for my brother!  Married life and being a parent is SO awesome and I'm glad he's going to experience it with such neat girls! Ü

The Leavitt Family | Phoenix Family| Children Photographer

This family was so cute and fun!  I think I went through 3 packages of smarties to get some good smiles from the little guy, but it was worth it! Ü









Dad doesn't normally have a "stash" and I know he was asked to get rid of it for pictures, but he didn't!  Oh well, makes for a good memory!  We just need to take some more now that it's gone! Ü
In fact, I saw him last week at church and I had to look again, I didn't recognize him at first with out it!! haha!








Thanks Leavitt Family!  You're adorable!

Mine on Monday| Phoenix Wedding| Family Photographer

So with the new year, I'm trying to be better about blogging! Ü  I thought it would be fun to do some "Mine on Monday" posts...  That way, you can see some pictures of my family and get to know me better! Ü 

So to start it off.. Who better to start with then my wonderful, handsome, loving and supportive hubby?!
gosh he's good looking! sorry girls, this one is taken!





Life for us has been a bit crazy... Lots of ups and downs in the 9 years we've been married!!

I wouldn't want to hold hands and walk side by side with any other person on this planet!
I love you Handsome!!

The "T" Twins | Phoenix AZ | Newborn Children Photographer

I loved playing with these sweet babies!  Not just to get a "baby fix" but I got to hang out with their Momma!  I met their Mom in August of 2009 when I headed to the hospital to shoot her sweet little angel baby that had passed away.  (I volunteer for the organization NILMDTS) Her and I hit it off right there and have become the best of friends since!  

These two beautiful babies came EXACTLY a year to the date of their big angel sister!  Isn't that an awesome story?!?


Sweet little Garrison, he slept nicely for us!


Bryndle on the other hand is a typical girl... She wanted to be up, as to not miss any of the action! Ü








I had some fun with their sweet little baby parts... I put together these cute collages for Mom! Ü




Thanks Jamie Sue for letting me play with your babies!  Oh and for being my friend!  I love that our angel babies brought us to each other!! Love ya!
