Allen Family Portraits

IMG_0115Cutest family you’ve ever seen? Yes, I know, I know… my clients are the cutest! And this is one of my favorite images I’ve ever taken!

It had been a while since I shot a family session and it was so great to meet the Allen family and capture some fun family moments for them. It made me realize how much I miss family sessions so if you’ve been procrastinating and haven’t scheduled a session for this Holiday Season, you are in luck! Come back and check the blog tomorrow as I will be announcing some really great news for you. You will be able to save money and help others in need.

For now, enjoy this awesome family session :)

I love Nate’s enthusiasm here. I think we were talking about airplanes.

He could seriously model for Gap kids:

Is there a greater feeling than flying in your dad’s arms when you are 3 years old? I don’t think so.

Good looking family and I just love Nate’s pose here:

Before anyone asks, nope I did not photoshop his eyes.

And look at this charming smile… He is on his way to breaking many girls’ hearts. I am sure.

LoriSM2

Lori is an internet marketing manager for 3TV & www.azfamily.com, she’s smart, gorgeous, funny, and (sorry guys) married. She’s working on her own branding and needed some updated photos that show her awesome personality. Lori is “like a mullet… business in the front and party in the back”… Her words, not mine :)

Lori, it was such a pleasure to meet you and I hope you enjoy your photos!

For part of her session we went to the Royal Coffee Bar, a coffee shop owned by one of Lori’s friends. I loved this space! It is a good fusion of modern and cozy.

Luisa

Posted in high-school seniors | portraits

Cristi Owen

Meet our daughter Luisa. Yes, I know most people start out with babies, but not Curtis and I. When it comes to parenting we skipped straight to adolescence. Not that we ever planned it this way but it just kind of happened.

One of Curtis’ friends told us that there was an exchange student supposed to be coming here for her senior year of high school but her host family for the year fell through and she asked if we would consider taking her. I said “Sure!” and Curtis looked at me in shock: “Sure?!!? Are you crazy?” Me: “Why not? :)And so one week later our daughter arrived. I wish babies were that fast too.

Lee Ann (a.k.a LaFrizz)

Posted in my life | photography | portraits

Cristi Owen

Where do I begin? Lee Ann is such an impressive woman. She is so elegant and classy but at the same time completely down to earth and incredibly funny! It’s a rare combo but she really is all that! I also have to say that I wish I could steal Lee Ann’s accent. I just love to hear her talking!
And a big bonus? Lee Ann used to live in Charleston and therefore was an amazing tour guide for all of us.

Lee Ann, you are amazing and I can’t thank you enough for waking up at 4 am (with a big smile on your face) to take us to the airport when our taxi didn’t show up. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are amazing.

Ian

Posted in newborn | portraits

Cristi Owen

Meet little Ian. Almost two weeks old and oh so perfect!

I drove down to Tucson for this session and it was so great to spend the afternoon with this family.
Ian’s mom, Viviane, is also from Brazil and prepared the most delicious brazilian meal for us. Thank you so much, Vivi! The left over pao-de-queijo didn’t even make it to the end of your street :)
Sorry, food always distracts me. Back to the pictures. A close-up of his perfectness. If that’s not a real word, it should be, because that’s the only way to describe this:
and this would be perfection:
I’m running out of words… How about… perfectly gorgeous family:

This melts my heart:
Is that a smile?
Seriously! How cute can one be!?!!
I had to post this next picture for three reasons:

1. These are Ian’s dad’s, David, old shoes (which makes it really really special and therefore blog-worthy)
2. They say RUFF STUFF in the back (which made me smile and I hope it makes you smile)
3. My husband couldn’t stop laughing as he pointed out to me that even during a newborn session I find a way to photograph shoes (and I thought that might make you laugh too).
Vivi and David, thanks again so so much! You guys are so great! I wish we lived closer as I have a feeling we would be BFFs :) I hope I get to see you all again really soon.
