Love for Each Other ~ AZ Children's Photographer

I have a special place in my heart for this family.  I've watched them blossom and grow over the last 4 years.  They've been through a lot to get to this place in their life and although there are struggles, I hope they look at these pictures and see how far they've come and see the love they have for each other.

When Mom Made it to Heaven ~ AZ Maternity Photographer

This adorable couple has an amazing story about this special little baby who is soon to be born.  Please take a moment to read their story:

"My husband lost his mom due to cancer recently. We did fertility up until 2008 (for I bet 5 years). We had stopped and gave up on a baby. His mom passed this Feb and we instantly had a positive pregnancy test., without trying and actually with being really stressed and planning her funeral. We told his sisters who are in CA, younger than my hubby by 15 years. They said his mom had told each of them that this would be her sign, we would get pregnant when she made it to Heaven. So this is a huge blessing fro us in many ways. I am 43 years old and my hubby is 42. Just wanted to share our story with you."

Youngest of Six... ~ Gilbert Newborn Photographer

Every once in a while you meet someone who amazes you.  This family leaves me laughing and reminds me to enjoy the little things in life.  I love hearing all the stories about their full family of six little kids.  Mom is also a photographer so this little guy might be the most photographed baby by the time he was only a week old.

Thrilled to see them again... ~Scottsdale Child and Family Photography

I was thrilled when they called for an updated photo session.  I started photographing this family when their oldest was in the belly and its been a few years since I've seen them.  I've been watching the girls grow up on Facebook and have been hoping for another session with them.  They have changed so much in the last few years.  A is becoming so mature and beautiful and O, who was such a mellow baby, has grown into a silly superstar.  Together they are so fun and giggley.  I think I heard the most giggles from any session ever.  What a treat to spend a beautiful evening with this amazing family!

In case you want to see "A" when she was a tiny baby take a look here: http://babyshotsphotography.blogspot.com/2007/11/braving-wild.html
And "O" when she was a baby:

Truly Enjoy Their Children! ~Gilbert Family Photographer

We go way back and didn't even know it! Through the kids' school and Karate, we've gotten to know this family for a while until our husbands realized they already knew each other.  They worked together back in Boston!  So funny to find out they were friends back then and it just took a while to piece their memories together.  Anyway they were a wonderful family to photograph.  They truly enjoy their children and it shows in their pictures.

Fresh 48 Sessions ~ AZ Newborn Photographer

A Fresh 48 session is a lifestyle session in your hospital or birth center.  This takes place during the first 24 to 48 hours of your baby's life.  Your baby will be changing hour to hour and day by day.  A Fresh 48 session will capture those first moments of your new baby such as a first bath, feeding, diaper change, cuddles, kissing toes, or the first meeting with siblings.   This important time of your life goes by so fast and the Fresh 48 session will preserve those memories for you.

The Fresh 48 session doesn't replace the classic newborn session.  This session captures the most natural newborn moments without props or posing.

Class of 2015....

Often guys are less than thrilled for their photo session.  But sometimes the reluctant become the enthusiastic by the end of the session.  Such is this handsome guy.  He has so many wonderful things going for him and his future.  I hope he enjoys seeing pictures of this time in his life full of talent and opportunity!
Thanks for visiting,
Carrie
