beth, matt & emma : phoenix family photographer

this sweet family of 3

is about to be a family of four. 

 i photographed them before emma arrived on the scene too!

mama & emma.

emma is so sweet & gentle & precious & smart. she at one time could sign over 100 signs!

favorite of the belly bump!! emma calls the baby -baby emma!

i love this series.

so sweet!!!  

they want to do a session once the babe arrives so stayed tuned for that sweetness!

i have a very special place in my heart for this family. i adore them. they won the mda donation contest a year ago & wanted to wait until their little boy joined them for the session. we finally  made that happen a couple weekends ago :)

is he not aDORAble?

hugs & kisses all around!

he likes to play hard to get!

ah. love this one.

candice, ernie, ava & weston

candice & ernie wanted to do a little mini session with their sweet brood. 

ava, that precious lil child wasn't having it. 

so we had to be creative on how to get her in the pictures :)

weston & daddy.

mama & ava.

i think they turned out cute, even though that stinker made us work really hard!!
