Girlies In Tutus

Rowley Kids

These kids were so much fun. The little girls were a riot. They had me running from place to place as they yelled out "take a picture of me." They were literally climbing in the bushes and then asking to have their picture taken. I loved it. They reminded me SO much of my little girls. Here are a few shots of our fun, eventful photo shoot.

Rettig Family

I have known my good friend since I was a little girl. My family would come from CA to AZ to visit with her and her family. We went to dances together when we were teenagers, I attended her high school with her for a week when I flew out to visit during my spring break. We have a lot of memories and now we are all grown up, with families of our own. She just recently moved back to AZ and I was so excited when she asked me to take her family's picture. They are a very beautiful family.

The Schvaneveldt Family

Meet the Schvaneveldt Family. Their newest addition is the little guy in the front with the orange shirt. He was just adopted recently form Guatemala. He was so happy. All I had to do is play peek-a-boo behind my camera and he'd bust up laughing.

The "Family Squeeze."

You can tell that Grandma and Grandpa are proud of their grandkids.

Redmond's

I have known this adorable Redmond family for years. We were friends in CA and we just happened to move close to them in AZ. They are a wonderful family. I enjoyed spending time with them this past week.

Meet Little Miss "K"

This is a little girl who is fun to shoot. Her personality shines and is so much fun to capture. She is not camera shy and that makes my job much easier:)

My Kiddos

This weekend I decided to take my kids out for a photo shoot. Why is it easier to take pictures of kids other than my own?:) It's probably because my kids are tired of me constantly pointing a camera at them:) I just can't help it. Here are a few of my favorites after I bribed them all with cold stone ice cream.

I love how they look like the bars on your cell phone:) Maybe they'll be on the next commercial.

Have you ever heard of a kid who is too scared to cough? Well, here's a picture of one. She came down with a cough this week and she has a lot of "yucky stuff" in her chest that she needs to cough up. She is afraid that the "stuff" is going to choke her or make her throw up. Therefore she purposefully tries not to cough. My husband and I have talked until we are blue in the face trying to convince her that none of those horrible things will happen, but she is very fearful. I hope we don't end up in ER because she refuses to cough and clear her chest. In the picture above she is starting to tell me about her cough.

The reality of her cough is beginning to hit her.

Now she is down right depressed that she has this cough that is sooooo scary. Please Help!!
