Bri- 4 and Avery-2 | Arizona Children's Photographer

My two girls! They both have birthdays in March, so it makes it easy to get their yearly pictures done together. They are quiet the pair. Bri is smart, kind, OUTGOING, fun, talkative, beautiful, energetic and exhausting. Avery is silly, fun, sassy, chatty (although she is behind on words a bit), animal loving, wiggly, beautiful, sweet, fun loving and sparkly eyed. Being their mom is such an honor. I never expected that THIS job of being their mom would be so hard. They defiantly give me a run for my money every day. But, I love it so much. There have been days that I wished I could go back to work for a "break". But, I have never once regretted being at home, guiding these two little people to be awesome. Some days are harder than others, but we make it through. We try to stay busy, stay active and get together with friends and family.

Pictures To Remember - Mesa Family Photographer

This was a very emotional shoot. I had shot Cristina's Family last year in the fall. When I got the phone call about this shoot, I was so touched. I think as a photographer, you take pictures in hopes that these are for memories, images so you can remember how little your kids were, capture a moment in time. Cristina's mom, Linda was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. They wanted to get pictures to be able to remember their mom and grandma. At several moments in the shoot we were all crying, no sobbing. Unfortunately, Linda passed away from this terrible disease in September 2016. I know Cristina, her family and Linda's husband are all very thankful to have these pictures.
