Good Times

I love hanging out with this family... they are always happy, and you can tell they really love being together... quite amazing!

Beach Pics

Seriously, check out the lashes on these darling two babies~ it's hardly fair!!

I will be in Cali this week shooting if anyone wants beach pics!!

Everybody loves Lexi!

As we've gotten to know this family, it's been fun to just let our minds wander about their little new baby, Lexi. You must read about her adoption from China here. What would she be wearing if she were still in China in the overcrowded orphanage? Certainly not the darling Matilda Jane outfits her Mom dressed her in today. Would she be walking yet? Would she be talking yet? She has totally thrived in this family and I just loved that during the family shoot every kid wanted a picture of themself with little Lexi! She is referred to as a Princess, simply because she is.

Father's Day Tribute

While I was at my Dad's house, I was able to grab a couple of snaps of things that remind me of him. Happy Father's Day Dad, I love you very much!

Dad's tie collection.... the world's largest!

My Dad is the hardest worker there is, and taught us to be the same. Thank you Dad.

He is always a teacher, and always a student.


He also has the world's largest green thumb.

He loves Christ. And so do I.

Dad is always losing his reading glasses, so I loved this, and that he loves architecture and design. This stand I found the glasses on reminded me of that.

He was a pilot.

His shoe collection rivals his tie and plant collection. You could say he collects. :) Luv ya pops!

No matter where he has lived or visited, he is fascinated with plants of that area.

There is much more to be said about this great man, but I will save that for us....

Happy Father's Day Dad! Thanks for your service!!

Love you tons!

Nocturnal Zoo

I got an awesome opportunity to shoot the Phoenix Zoo's "Prowl and Play" event that they host during the summer. The event starts in the late afternoon and it goes through the evening. It's the best time to be at the zoo! The temperature was fantastic, there was added entertainment, and the temperature was great!

One of my highlights was getting the MEDIA PASS!!! This meant that people would smile when I lifted my camera, I could go straight to the front of the lines, and even into VIP areas! Woo HOO!


I had no idea that Giraffe's tongues were as long as their necks... this was the cool!






They have an amazing splash area that looks like the inside of a cavern... so fun!

The kids got to drive remote control boats in Stingray Bay...

There was a children's theater that had actors come and show you what some of the animals do at night...


This was totally cool. They take you on Night Hikes and we got to see the Elephants from two different angles. This girl was very entertaining!

Some of the other animals at the Zoo and what the Zoo looks like at night!
