I just wanted to share a few pics from a recent session I did with this gorgeous mama and her family.  I love these shots we did with just mom and dad... they are sizzlin'!

Love it!  And of course their adorable children...

Love this family!

Thanks for a fun morning guys! - Anne

I am pretty behind on my blogging lately, but only because I have been spending so much wonderful time behind the lens with all of you.  I am going to try and continue to stay committed to the blog though, so here we go!

I met up with Aubrey, Eric, and their son Ethan the other day for family photos.  They are dear friends of my family and so I was happy and excited to get to take their photos.  I love this one of Eric and Aubrey.  They have been together since high school and this photo just recalls young love to me.

Here is their son, Ethan.  I know it looks like he is giving me this great smile and that I must have some great tricks up my sleeve, but he's really just cracking up at his parents who are making him laugh so hard.  I loved all the pictures from this little setup - thank goodness for parents who know how to make their kiddos crack up! 

Here are Aubrey and Ethan.  Such a good mommy!

Taking the most fun type of walk their is...

All together now...

Another one of Ethan.  He just has a face that was meant to smile - so adorable!

And one last one of this great family all together.

Thanks for a fun morning, guys! - Anne

Hello!  My photography and related posts have had to take a backset to some minor surgery I recently underwent.  I had a pesky hernia but is now gone and I am simply resting for the next few weeks until my Maryland sessions begin.  Here is a little something to tide you over...

Last weekend I did something new!  I met Janice and her young daughter Annabel on Sunday afternoon in the front of my development for pictures.  Janice has been getting certified to teach Yoga, and it is something she and Annabel enjoy doing together.  She needed pictures for a project she was working on and I was so excited to take them.  I love when I get the chance to do something new and different.  I have taken a few "fitness yoga" classes in my time but nothing compared to this!  Here are some of the shots from our session...

Here is Janice practicing a great downward dog pose...

Here are Janice and cutie Annabel with their hands to heart center...

Janice was so patient with Annabel and made sure she was comfortable for their downward dog pose together.

Here is Janice just as the sun was setting.  I convinced her to climb up on a wobbly concrete table for this shot, but you wouldn't know it from her serene expression!

A few more from in and around the front of my neighborhood.

Thank you Janice and Annabel for a fun and relaxing afternoon!

Two Peas in a Pod {Phoenix Family Photographer}

I am all finished my holiday work, except for one shoot, and since my own holiday cards are addressed and only need to be stuffed and stamped I thought I'd begin posting some of the holiday sessions.  Tomorrow I am attempting to "bake" for my friends and will be making jarred apple-pear butter. I hope I can pull it off, but honestly it just involves a slow cooker so I don't think I can really mess it up. It's just like this shoot really, if you have good ingredients like my friend Claudia and her daughter Lorena it's pretty hard to mess it up!

Here is Lorena, one of the most witty and smart little girls I've ever met - and if you know her you will surely agree.  I love that this girl knows how to have fun!

And she is so sweet at the same time...

I love this one.  I know you are all wondering what Claudia is telling Lorena to get that great reaction.  Well I do know what it is but I'll keep that a secret for now! 

And here is Lorena with her beautiful and lovely mommy Claudia.  I want your hair, Claudia!  I am taking this picture with me the next time I go get my hair cut :)

Thanks for the afternoon exploring the lake, rocks and all! Love you girls, Anne

California Dreamin'

I'm editing an extended family session from Thanksgiving weekend and had to share these pictures of two adorable sisters from California.  They were so much fun to take pictures of and did a great job despite the chilly AZ morning!

I mean really, the cuteness factor here is off the charts!

with Mom and Dad... 

Ladies, I hope you and your parents had as much fun getting your pictures taken as I had taking them.  More from this extended session to follow!

2010 Holiday Photo Package is here!

On the Go {Harford County, Maryland Family Photographer}

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Land of Pleasant Living.  Yes, this is really Maryland's nickname, and it couldn't be a better fit.  I got to meet little man Alex and his family while I was there for an early morning photo session.

Alex is such a sweetie, and has tons of energy and a great little spirit.  Jason, like all great dads, knew just how to make Alex happy.  Here's Jason doing a little baby wrangling.

  

Alex was so busy while we were there.  He loved to explore, and found a way to have fun wherever we were.  Sometimes though, he would take a break from the business of pushing his truck or picking the grass for his daddy to give you one of those looks that takes your breath away.

Mom Cynthia suggested we venture down to a spot where Alex likes to play.  Here she is with Alex and Jason along the way.

This picture is one of my favorites.  His tender little eyelashes say so much to me about how sweet little Alex is.  Even in the short amount of time I spent with him it was plain to see that he has so much love to give.

And finally here we are goofing off and having fun!

Cynthia and Jason, thank you so much for a great morning.  It was great to meet you both and spend time with you and Alex.
