Arizona

We just got back from a trip to Arizona to visit Paul's parents and grandma. It was the first time our kids met their great grandma!  It's funny because of course they loved the usual suspects of swimming pools, cactus and model airplanes but also LOVED a trailer dinette table that folds down into a bed, escalators at the airport, and Great Grandmas house with her collection of ceramic mice and frogs. Just goes to show you it doesn't have to be a trip to Disney world to impress the little ones.  Paul and I got to enjoy a seven hour trip into the desert on ATVs with Dad while Mom watched the kiddos. Thanks everyone for all the memories!  We love you guys!

Not sure how the kids ended up falling asleep in the car holding hands but it was very sweet!

newborn baby portrait

I was so honored to photograph a beautiful three week old baby girl this weekend!  What a sweetie!  She never cried once and even gave me some smiles. I LOVE LOVE LOVE new babies! 

portraits on location

Paul specializes in portraits on location. In this recent assignment he only had a half hour with each subject to do four different looks. That means he must have his lighting portable enough to work quickly and he needs to find locations on the fly. I always think he makes everyone look like a model!
