Announcing a new addition to the Bridgman Family... Party of FIVE!

We wanted you all to know that we are expecting our third and FINAL baby Due in November. Since this baby will be coming to join our family around Thanksgiving, we thought we would celebrate by baking a pie. This was a super fun activity to do as a family. Everyone got involved, the TV was off, the girls played when they were bored and Brian and I got to work together in the kitchen. Although the picture may seem like Avery is upset at the pending promotion to big sister, she LOVES babies! I know she will be a great big sister. Bri is also very excited! When drawing pictures of anything, the person, animal, or whatever has a baby in it's belly. I am excited for Bri to be the biggest sister. She was made for this job. Her bossy skills will be put to good use. Although I know it will be hard to have three littles, I am SO excited to watch these three grow up together being so close. We do not know the sex yet. We are both praying for a healthy baby no matter the gender. We know either way it God's will and part of His big plan.  With all that being said, November is usually my busiest month! I will be taking a limited amount of session in October and a VERY limited amount in November. Message me ASAP if you want to snag your spots NOW!

Clickin Moms Shoot Out | Mesa Lifestyle Photographer

I belong to an online forum for moms armed with cameras where you can chat, interact, learn, and grow as a photographer. I recently read a blog about a group of photographers from Clickin Moms that were all from Washington State got together and practiced their craft together (see that story here). I immediately looked to see if there was a group like that here in Arizona. My luck there was! I joined instantly and it was just my luck that they had a planned shoot. I cannot tell you how fun it was to talk shop with may SUPER talented women. I learned a lot and had a great time working with them. Here is a list where you can see their work.

This family Wright family was perfect! Besides it being Isla's forth birthday, it was a perfect set up, a gorgeous house in central Phoenix, a BOHO style, and just amazingly gracious, sweet and enduring personalities. I hope that they are blessed by all of the images they received.

Jacobson Family | Papago Park | Arizona Family Photographer

We have known Brad a Shannon for a very long time now and have had a lot of good times together. I met Shannon her first year teaching. She came to join me at Balsz Elementary teaching side by side for two years. In that short amount of time we became great friends! Shannon's spunk and fire really helped me push through some tough days. Shannon always saw the positive side of things. Soon her and Brad were getting married in Sioux Falls South Dakota (where Brad is from). I was luckily part of the fun day as a bridesmaid. They decided to stay in Sioux Falls, where Brad was from. Look at them now! They have two beautiful, fun and smart girls. It has been fun to have kids around the same age. Shannon's girls are just a few months older then Bri and Avery, so I would always call Shannon looking for advice. =) This year they made it back to AZ for a friends wedding and I got the opportunity to capture this cute family in the desert of Papago Park. I had a blast and they are just SO cute! XOXO

Kim Mesa Maternity Session

Kamboukos Family, Zoe is SIX months - Scottsdale Family Photographer

This family is one of my favorites! I have captured many special moments for them. Eden's first birthday, Lorie and Bill's pregnancy announcement for Zoe, Zoe's newborns and now her 6 month pictures.  Lorie and I go WAY back. I can remember slumber parties at Lorie's house, eating mac and cheese with HOT DOGS in it for the FIRST time! (my mind was blown) We lost touch after before high school, but thankfully to Facebook we hooked back up. I honestly can't say I know a more thoughtful, kind and truly LOVING person than Lorie. Isn't she just gorgeous! Her family is equally as beautiful! XOXO friend!
