I will continue to blog here, but for viewing galleries of my recent photo sessions go to my website :)

What a sweetheart

OK fans, it is time I start catching up on what I've been up to the past two months!  I'm actually in the process of building a new website.  So, my attention has been averted there.  Sorry!  I assure you, I've been having fun taking photos of people the past two months!

Here's Miss I.  She was such a pleasure to work with :)  She posed and flashed that adorable smile like a pro!  She made my job very easy that day.  It just felt like a fun play date at the park!

Life's A Beautiful Beach!

If only we had a beautiful ocean beach in Tucson!  I'd do photo sessions there every weekend :)  

Alas, Tucson does not offer any oceanfront properties. . .or beach photo opportunities.

So, if anyone is going to the beach and wants to hire me to take their beautiful vacation photos, 

let me know!    

*wishful thinking--but totally serious!*  

In the meantime, enjoy some of my photos!

These next two photos REALLY got me thinking. . .I love the mystery of the man in the background.

 OK, I realize this is not ON the beach, but it's overlooking the harbor.  So, close enough!  We walked to the beach after a few photos by the stairs

Girlfriends

Cookies and Milk with Girlfriends

Here's after the sugar kicked in ;)

Let's Go Explore!

This adorable little man was a bit weary of me (or was it my big camera?) at first. 

So, I said "You want to go find some ducks?  Let's go explore!" and he happily followed. . .making sure his Mom and Dad were within arms reach of course :)   

We found lots of ducks!  And fish and lizards, too!

When he got tired of looking for ducks, he decided he wanted to find some monkeys.  

We did not find any of those. . .guess they were sleeping ;)  

The four of us had fun exploring Agua Caliente park together. 

I was able to capture all of these adorable and fun moments along the way!

Thanks for exploring with me J!  

A Family Reunion of Sorts

This was my biggest photo shoot yet. . .
I loved taking pictures of this family!
So much energy and joking around!
I am pretty sure I was smiling the whole time :)

It is nice to be part of a big gathering and observe the interactions between generations of
siblings, cousins, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.
Individually, they might all seem different.
Lump them together for a fun gathering, and you see all the familial ties that bind them together. . .
and if you are lucky, they will even smile and NOT BLINK when you tell them to!
Well, ALMOST all of them. . .you know who you are ;)

Well, all you were really interested in was seeing the pictures, right?
So, here they are!  

One Big Happy Family!
