oliver & his adorable parents : phoenix family photographer

this is oliver. the sweetest little month early premie i've ever met.  his very proud parents, michael & jill, are some of our closest friends in arizona.  i adore them. jill is our family photographer & i've been waiting on this day for a very long time!  

we did a lil session this past weekend, right around his one month birthday!  he was wide awake for most of it. anything with his eyes closed are because i'm that good -i caught him mid blink. well, that's almost true... the boy did not want to sleep!   

love this one.




the doting father.


love jill's smile.


possibly... my favorite.

aw.




"maaaaa... she won't stop taking pictures of me."

hehe. "i tooted."

look at that face!

jill is my artistic muse. she's so damn creative. check out this nursery!



he is amazing. jill & michael well done. i just love this lil munchkin.

adley & ellery : phoenix family photographer

i adore this family. i photographed their wedding & knew they'd be in my life from then on out. we've done a few other sessions: engagement, meeting adley, ellery's 1st birthday

they wanted to do a mini session in their holiday dresses! oh goodness. this session was a bit of a riot. these girls were not in the mood! we did our best to make them happy or at least realize taking pictures wasn't so painful & we did (sortof!) for a few pictures. 







this adley jean is too much! 



ellery, please don't hate me for this, but it made me giggle!


merry christmas you guys!!!! hope you have an awesome holiday!
