Awwww..don't Pautz

They are such a beautiful family. And they make their own beer. We love them.

What I am working on...

I just shot the Pautz family in my backyard and looked through the pics. This one of Benny stuck out..I LOVE IT!! The rest of the session is coming soon!

Cleaned Up

Laurie and I met through our friend, Marlene. We are all in Jazzercise together..and Laurie and I share a Diet Coke addiction. Now, when we go to Jazzercise, we look a hot mess. No make-up, no shower..you get the idea. We didn't see each other in make-up til this shoot (I was going to dinner right after)..and it was so funny. Her family was just so fun to work with..even her husband, Gary (hubbies notoriously aren't happy for family pictures). Her twins were full of energy and smiles..and the whole family is just gorgeous. Even without make-up ;)

Good Friends and a Blue Wall

Tiffany and I met almost 9 years ago at my first MOMS club meeting. She and I hit it off with our foul language and dislike of anything (or anyone) fake. We also bonded over the fact that Avery and Rusty were the hardest children on the planet (at the time). During my first meeting, I had to sit outside with a SCREAMING child..and Tiffany tried to help. She went on to have the cutest redheaded boy, Jake. Now we reminisce about the good old days with one..because both of our second children are downright insane.

Um..Seriously?? Cute.

I am not a girly-girl. I don't like "cutesy" stuff..usually. But oh my cute. These puppies are about the cutest things I have ever seen. I brought my kids over to see them and we all fell in love.

Clovis Beauty

Krista is a senior in Clovis. Her aunt set up this appointment with me, so I went in blind..and I was FLOORED by how beautiful she is. Better than that? She brought her aunt and mom and we laughed the ENTIRE time. The last picture is with her mom..you can see where she gets her looks! I had so much fun..thank you!

I Sweat With Jasmine Star

For my birthday Rod bought me a ticket to see one of my FAVORITE photographers, Jasmine Star. She is touring the US, talking to small groups of people about business and such and who the hell cares..I met Jasmine Star! We laughed over how hot the building was (and how much we were sweating) and I asked her how she dealt with "mean girls" (which got a clap from the audience..guess I am not the only one). She brought her husband (and second shooter..and amazing photographer in his own right), JD, who was so funny and David Jay (who took HER wedding photos..WOW), another idol. I met several of the best photographers in the state of Arizona (and beyond)and made some new friends. So thank you Rod. You made my night..and you make my life.
