Fun Change of Pace ~ AZ Photographer

What a fun change of pace with a couples session!  They need some updated pictures for their home.  It was a fabulous afternoon photographing this stunning couple.  A little bit of fun and a bit of romance....

Family Fun ~ Gilbert Family Photographer

I loved watching these guys have fun together...  We got such a variety of family pictures!

Thanks for taking a peek!

I'm so excited... ~Gilbert Children's Photographer

I've been photographing these two since they were babies.  In fact, I photographed this little girl's arrival into this world.

Their exciting announcement is that they will soon have a new baby!  I am so excited for this family to welcome their new addition.  Or should say I am so excited for myself to have a brand new model for me to take pictures of :)

thanks for visiting,
Carrie

They just keep getting cuter! ~ AZ Baby Photographer

These babies are so cute and they just keep getting cuter!  Here they are in the tummy, as newborns, at 3 months, and at 6 months.  I am excited to catch up with them this weekend for their 9 month session!

The Phoenix ~ Gilbert Children's Photographer

"The {Phoenix} bird flutters round us, swift as light, beauteous in color, charming in song. When a mother sits by her infant’s cradle, he stands on the pillow, and, with his wings, forms a glory around the infant’s head. He flies through the chamber of content, and brings sunshine into it, and the violets on the humble table smell doubly sweet."
- Hans Christian Andersen

There is a reason why our city is named Phoenix.  The sky was on fire last night (and so were these 4 kiddos)!

Thanks for visiting!

Sisters having fun...

An AZ snow storm! ~AZ Child photographer

Here in the Valley of the Sun there is only one way to do snow pictures, make your own snow! The "snow" was definitely the highlight for these kiddos at their sessions!

Family of 3 ~ AZ Newborn Photographer

This family is so sweet together.  Their new baby boy is such a good baby.  They are enjoying his first days so much!  I hope these images help them remember those first precious days of life.

thanks for taking a peek,

The Sweet Spot ~ Gilbert Children's Photographer

When they are born, everyone tells you how fast it goes.  You don't realize it until the years are passing.  As the kids grow, they get more independent, their schedules fill up with activities, and they entertain themselves.  If you take a step back to take it all in you may realize you are in the sweet spot.  Julinna W. Miner wrote an amazing heart warming article about the "Sweet Spot".  Check it out here The Sweet Spot.  I hope I captured this family's "Sweet Spot".  At this age, a family photo session can be an opportunity to put down all the ipods, homework, sports practices, etc to cuddle and just soak them in before they are grown.

Just 2 Boys and Their Dream... ~Gilbert Children's Photographer

Turning Two! ~ AZ Child Photographer

I met these two cuties when they were 3 months old.  How quickly they have grown and now they are turning two.  I just love their bright and fun pictures.  A big bright fun two year old birthday party is coming soon for them!

Abbie and Her Star ~

A Boho Family Nature Walk... ~AZ Family Photographer

Our photo session turned into a beautiful nature walk in Prescott with the cousins.  Critters, bugs, caterpillars, dragon flies, birds, and even a deer kept the kids entertained while I took their pictures.  I think we even came home with a few critters!

This place was so beautiful and I'm hoping to go back again.

Sisters ~ Gilbert Child Photographer

I was so glad to see these two having fun together this session!  Big sister wasn't too sure of little sister before and now they play and laugh!  So cute!

The Most Delightful Brothers... Chandler Newborn Photographer

New baby brother is the sweetest little guy and big brother loves him so much!  A newborn session takes a long time and big brother watched him the whole time!

Beauties in the Desert! ~ AZ Child Photographer

I've been wanting to share these images for a while now...
I love this family and the soft light and the beautiful desert!!!

 

      

 

Little Desert Fairies - Gilbert Children's Photographer

After a little vacation and the kids are back in school, I am back to work!  Finally a blog post.  We had a warm summer session last weekend.  These girls have summer birthdays so it we do a summer session each year.  Luckily, even in the middle of the desert summer  heat, it hasn't felt "too bad"!  I've been lucky to have watched these two girls grow since the older sister was a newborn.  They are moving soon and I'll be sad to see them leave AZ.  Hopefully these sunset pictures will remind them of AZ in the summer.

Now it is the Boys' Turn.... Scottsdale Newborn Photographer

Sweet newborn twin boys.  One big and one tiny and both loved dearly by their big brother and parents.

Newborn Twin Girls... ~Paradise Valley Newborn Photographer

Sweet newborn girls.  Mom and Dad are so proud.  One tiny girl looks just like dad and one looks just like mom.  I will see them again soon for their 3 month session.  It will be fun to watch them grow!

Hopefully I will post from their 3 month session soon!

Sun & Spring! ~ Gilbert Child Photographer

I am happy to have a lot of beautiful spring sessions this year.  The spring rains brought so many spots with beautiful new growth.  I loved the weeds at this location and little "M" loved running through the weeds!

Daddy Time ~ Paradise Valley Baby Photographer

I have so many cute pictures of baby boy and his Daddy.  They are so sweet together!  We were so happy to find the beautiful desert wild flowers during our session.  It is a beautiful spring this year in the desert!

  

Happy Spring!

For the Doggie ~ Scottsdale Baby Photographer

As this family welcome the addition of twins, they embrace their limited time with their dog, Max.  I know for many people, their pets are their first babies.  Max is their baby and has cancer.  He has already lived passed his prognosis and is getting lots of love from his parents.  I'm glad we were able to include him in this special photo session.

Happy Spring!
