Vogue - Oct 2012

Have you ever been on a romantic road trip? 

I have, more than once. 

Things like watching the sun come up on the road 

& getting stranded

in the middle of the night

with someone you love...

makes it fun, memorable - 

at least for me.

These pics from Vogue (Oct 2012)

bring on the nostalgia. 

 I like this picture but I'm not sure why.
I have never been stranded in a station wagon before.

On Deck

Trystan is learning how to skate. 

His friend Ben is teaching him.

Ben can do tricks.

Ben's tricks scare me.

Now stop breaking the law

and come sit over here, smile for the camera instead.

Just a few of many pics from a skate session this weekend - was fun!

Do you have a widow's peak?

When I took pictures of Jaiden Rae last week, 

I noticed something about her in the pictures that I 

hadn't noticed before: 

She has a widow's peak, 
which is a distinct dip in the hairline in
the middle of her forehead. 
I remember wanting one when I was a teenager. 
I'm not sure why.. probably because I thought
it was cool and unique 
since not everybody has one. 

 But these people do

Top Left: Eddie Munster (with widow's peak obviously enhanced)
Top Right: The fabulous Marilyn Monroe (perhaps she had a little help with hers too)
Bottom Left: makes a plain bun look a little more interesting
on Kourtney Kardashian
Bottom Right: Gwen Stefani's hubby, 
Gavin Rossdale

Maternity Session - Kristina

I so wish I would have gotten maternity photos done with I was pregnant. I suppose it didn't seem important at the time because I was preoccupied with all the other stuff it takes to prepare 

for a bambino, but lately I am kicking myself. 

Especially after shooting Kristina, another gorgeous mama-to-me. 

Kristina booked me months in advance and was excited to finally have her photos done, coming all the way to Tempe from Mammoth. 

She glowed and has such a great smile. 

A little girl on the way.. I'm sure she'll be 

just as pretty as her mama :) 

Big thanks to Kristina and her family for choosing the little crown! 

Jaiden Rae

 

It was beautiful in Tempe this weekend. 

Spent some time outside with Jaiden Rae. 

She could touch the sidewalk without getting burned...

hello fall!

No more school pictures at this house. 

I just follow her around with a camera for a day instead... 

And sometimes she follows me back :)

Soon she'll be able to help me out! 

I'm so excited for upcoming family & wedding sessions.

There is much to look forward to this fall - officially saying

goodbye to summer!

How to wear bell bottom jeans

Summer is finally winding down in AZ - YES! 

It is raining today - 

just another reminder that fall is 

right around the corner. 

Soon it will be time to 

bring out the boots & jeans :)

Loving these bell bottom jean looks:  

Top Left: Bell bottoms with teeny belt, Brooklyn Blonde

Top Right: Casual Sofia Vergara in a toned down bell bottom, 

more of a flare

Bottom Left: Ok, who knows if these are bell bottoms on 

Sandra Bullock, but you can always 

tuck them into your boots ;)

Bottom Right: Salma Hayek in bell bottoms & red scarf

Pretty, pretty!
