Xarold + Mireille = Engaged!

These two will be getting married in less than two weeks, yeah that's right! We met up for this shoot at the Arboretum in Superior (which is my husband's favorite location in Arizona by the way and yes we are members:) and it was absolutely beautiful! When I saw these two I was thrilled with their choice of attire and could hardly wait to get things started!

That tree along with the light was absolutely amazing!

Great work, Xarold, what a beauty!

These two didn't crack a smile, not one. I was very impressed:)

I can't wait to see Mireille as a bride and thankfully I do not have to wait long! I am sure Xarold feels the same way:)

You two are so sweet and adorable, glad we get to do this again here soon!

Chad and Sarah are expecting!

This sweet couple (who just so happen to be friends of mine) are expecting a little boy at the beginning of February. I share something in common with these two, a love for Prescott, Arizona! When Sarah asked me to do this shoot she mentioned that she would love to take the pictures in Prescott. Well it just so happens that my family and I go to Prescott every year around Christmas time for a little getaway so we were able to meet up! It was great to be able to give them just what they wanted and it was also nice for me to have a brand new place to take pictures. We began at the courthouse, one of my favorite downtown locations!

It just so happens that I brought this book along to read on the car drive AND it just so happens that Chad and Sarah's little guy share something in common with the author:)

Did any of you guess it??

Sarah, you look amazing!

When we got to our second location I could not stop smiling after Sarah showed me these:)

Love:)

And I will leave you with this shot (which you will probably be seeing again here soon in my top 10 of 2010:)

The Gibson Family

This first shot makes me smile because I think it visually displays the feelings these two had during our shoot:) I have know the Gibson family for a few years now but this was the first time I got to hang out with all four members at the same time. Three-year-old Ryland and one and a half-year-old London are super cute, active kids and they gave me a run for my money on this day! I must say that the surroundings had to have been so new and wonderful to these little ones and it only makes sense that they would want to run and explore this wonderland of trees, right?:) Well it made for some good exercise and lots of creative thinking and all in all it turned out beautifully! I especially had a good time watching Matt and Adrienne laugh and just shrug their shoulders at their kiddos, it was very cute:)

Love this of Ryland and mom, just love it!

Comfort + fun = great dad skills Matt!

Chicken fight!

All the kids needed was some space, some love...

Lots of train talk for Ryland:)

And they gave us this:) Was great to see you all together!
