a family : phoenix family photographer

i've known this family for several years now. they're dear friends.  daddy is a photographer as well, so the pressure was on when they asked me to do a session! they thought now would be a time because baby girl is almost 2 years old & doing so well; she can talk with almost full sentences, sign & draw. she also has one of the greatest personalities, so smiley & happy, you'll see.

we met up at a neighborhood park & played for a bit! here are my favorites.

tickle monster :)

i asked her to tackle them... she looked back to make sure she was doing it right! so cute.
