This sweet family has been with me since the very beginning of my business. They brought their 5 week old baby girl to me when I was just getting my feet wet in the photography business. They were my very first ‘stranger session’ and I was SO nervous. I remember studying lighting and posing like a mad woman the week leading up to their baby’s newborn session. At that time, I had zero clue that it was hard to do a ‘newborn’ session on a 5 week old. 🙂 When the big day came, I quickly realized that I had NOTHING to worry about. These are some of the most laid back, friendly, and downright wonderful people you could be lucky enough to meet. I have fond memories of that session and meeting these amazing people.
Baby Nohl’s big birthday is approaching quickly, and we obsessively planned a ‘snowy maternity session’ for Ronne. He is a long awaited blessing and I couldn’t be more thrilled for such a wonderful, loving family. Little Nohl has no idea yet how lucky he is!
Ronne & family moved to the Phoenix area a few years ago, so we met in the middle near Flagstaff to do her maternity pictures. This location was an absolute gem of a find. I decided on the drive out (no pre-scouting was done due to the distance involved) that I wanted to find a grove of aspen trees in the snow. I thought the white on white would make a very pretty backdrop to show off that gorgeous baby belly of her’s. Nothing like a specific demand, huh? As we pulled into Williams/Flagstaff area, we stumbled across a ranger station while exploring a back road and found a nice lady working on her pickup truck. We got some great inside advice on where to find exactly what I was looking for. Despite a blown tire on the drive (I am SO glad my husband was with me on this trip), we found the PERFECT spot for Ronne’s maternity pictures. It is a wonderful thing to see a vision you had in your head for months beforehand come to life, and these pictures do that and more for me. I am SO excited for this family and cannot wait to meet baby Nohl. <3
Sweetest little family you will ever meet…
I adore this girl! <3
The lighting was just magical…
We both love the flare that circled itself perfectly around her belly…
Ahh…just gorgeous!
I absolutely ADORE this…
We were already finished with the session, when I saw the last minutes of golden light disappearing behind the horizon on the drive out. I pulled off to the side of the road and we flagged them down to do a few last shots of sweet Lucienne. So glad we did!
And because these guys are so special to me, I thought I’d put up a quick walk down memory lane for them. <3
A favorite from our first session together…Miss Lucienne’s ‘newborn’ session at 5 weeks old…
Her 6 month session….
And last but not least, a few favorites from her 1 year session. <3
I hope you guys enjoyed these, and I cannot wait to meet your new little boy! Now flip over into a head down position Mr. Nohl! hehe

I’ve been so looking forward to putting together this blog post…it is always so much fun to sit back and reflect on the year while looking forward to the new one ahead. It’s been a wonderful year! We moved into a new house in the mountains in January and finally have room for the kids to run and play (without annoying the neighbors). We get snow and amazing monsoon thunder storms up here, and have room for a big garden and a chicken coop – two things I’ve wanted for a long time. The kids have all grown and are a year older; I now have 1 in high school, 2 in middle school, 3 in elementary school, 2 in preschool, and 1 little sweetie still at home with me. Oh, and we are expecting our 10th in early July and couldn’t be more excited! My photography business is going well and I’ve added mentoring and editing classes to my repertoire this year. I’m currently writing my first e-book on working with natural light and can’t wait to share that! I’ve made some wonderful friends this year, witnessed (and photographed) a dear friend’s birth, taken some amazing road trips, and enjoyed my big family. All in all, it’s been a great year. 🙂 I do hope that I’ve shown some growth in the last 12 months. I taught myself how to use OCF so that was a big step forward for me this year. It is always fun challenging yourself and learning new things!
Next year I hope to do more of the same – shoot what I love, further refine the techniques I’ve been working on, make new friends, watch my children grow, and have a new baby. I cannot wait! Thank you all so much for your loyalty and support. I know there are a lot of choices when it comes to custom photography, and it means the world to me that so many of you have chosen to come back to me as repeat clients. I take a lot of pride in what I do and put my heart and soul into every session that I shoot. I can’t wait to see what 2013 brings.
Here is a collection of my favorite images from 2012. These are in a completely random order and are a mix of client and personal images. I’m an over-sharer so get a cup of hot cocoa and set aside a few minutes to see all of them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

I think all photographers suffer a bit of burn out after the busy season, and I was definitely feeling it. I needed something creative and fun to work on to get my photography spark back, so to speak. This past weekend, I met up with the fabulous Jamie Rubeis of Jamie Rubeis Photography for a fun, snowy, holiday themed session on Mt. Charleston in Las Vegas. I provided the model (my wonderful 13 year old daughter) and clothing (that Jamie and I spent a good bit of time hunting down online prior to the session), and Jamie provided the location, hair and makeup. She did a fabulous job…I have zero skills in this arena! It was SO much fun to plan a certain look and then see it all come together into some beautiful images in the end. It was quite cold on Mt. Charleston (in the 20’s) but we kept jackets and blankets nearby, and worked through the cold. Calista was an amazing trooper! I definitely think the frozen toes and fingers were worth it, and can’t wait to get together with Jamie again for another photography outing. 🙂 With that, here are my ‘Snow Queen’ images…

Whew, dusting off the old blog and updating it with one of my very favorite families.  I’ve been having some computer troubles but I’m back with a shiny new machine, updated editing software, and great outlook for the coming New Year. 🙂
These guys are SO full of fun, love, personality, and smiles!  And the blue eyes…seriously, could you get a more gorgeous group of people? I photographed this sweet family back when they were a family of 3 and they have always been some of my favorite people to work with.  The first set of pictures in that session was actually taken in the exact same location as the first set of images in THIS session…isn’t it crazy how much things can change just by shooting in a different season?  We did spring pictures last time and thought it would be fun to do a fall session this time. 🙂
Anyways, enough talking.  I can’t wait to share these pictures (and this wonderful family) with you. 🙂

A few weeks ago, the G. family traveled from Las Vegas to see me here in Kingman for their family pictures. Â It was wonderful working with them again! Â Baby London was only a few months old the last time I saw her, and she has grown so much! Â She was an absolute doll and such a sweet girl! Â Thank you guys for making the drive to see me – I had a great time with you and I know Damien did too. Â I absolutely love your images – I don’t think your family or your sweet girl can take a bad picture. Â I can’t wait to work with you again!
Trying to find fall in Arizona is a challenge, but you can find patches of it here and there…isn’t London a doll?
Location #2 was sunny, golden, and made for an amazing backdrop!
And a few Christmas card samples – ’tis the season! Â I love the holidays!
