Meet My Best Friend, Mary

I have known this wonderful family for about 6 years. Mary is the most wonderful friend anyone could ask for. My most favorite thing to do is laugh and Mary knows how to make that happen. The best part is that both of us can act like dorks around one another and we think it's so funny. It may not be funny to anyone else, but we don't care. She is kind, thoughtful, helpful, and has a wonderful listening ear. I hope everyone has a friend like her, because my life is so much brighter with her around.

My favorite part about taking these pictures was watching her husband drool over them as he saw them for the first time. Isn't she just beautiful?

Mrs. Telford and Family

Mrs. Telford was my daughters 4th grade teacher last year and this year she is the Dean of Students. A couple of months ago she added a beautiful baby boy to her family. He was so cute in his little plaid shirt and her husband has an awesome British accent that is fun to listen to. Thanks for letting me be apart of making memories.

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.
