Pictures in the Pines - Reece Gonzalez

This week I am up in Pinetop and doing a few sessions for families who want to get out of the heat!!! This is one of my favorite families, the Gonzalez family. I photographed their wedding and also their little boy Reece's first pictures at 8 weeks. Well Reece is now 8 months old so we met up again to take more pictures. Since Randy and Michele come up to Pinetop a lot we thought it was a great idea to take pictures up here. I'm so glad we did! We got some very cute shots of the family and of Reece.

Look at how cute this little guy is!!!


















I Love his hair!!!














We also were able to get pictures with Grandma and Grandpa!











I love this one of Randy and Reece... we were trying to calm Reece down with some food and he totally fell asleep so we weren't able to do too much more.


Right as I was about to leave he woke up and was ready to go again, so we got a few more shots!




Love this!


Look at those eyes!



Thanks Michele and Randy for letting me come up and take pictures. I had a great time and it was wonderful seeing how big Reece is getting... I can't wait until next time.

Enjoying the Cool Weather

Right now I am sitting in my parents living room in Pinetop, AZ enjoying the cool weather. I needed to get away from the heat, especially being pregnant!

I did a ton of sessions this last week so i'm sitting here working on pictures and trying to catch up! I am still checking email, so if you need to get ahold of me that is the best way. Melanie is in the office as well a little each day and will be checking voice mails.

My Three Sons Designs

A month or so ago I met an awesome lady, Jen. She owns a really cool company called My Three Sons Designs. She makes amazing blankets, onsies, burp cloths, and other yummy things for babys. You should check out her website and buy everyone you know who has a baby one of her soft baby blankets. I bought one for Kailee and she is going to LOVE it.

Well we met up this week and I took some pictures for her for her site. I have only processed a few of them so far, but wanted to show you some of her products for little girls! More pictures will be coming as I finish up the boy stuff.

I also want to thank Blissful Living Studio for allowing me to use the studio to shoot these in. If you want to do something really fun this summer check out some of the classes that the studio is offering.

Little Landon DeWall

I think this is about the 7th session I have done for the DeWall family and I love it every time they call me!! About 4 weeks ago they welcomed their 2nd little guy into the world, Landon. He is so adorable and I had a wonderful time taking pictures of him!

I did things a little differently this time and I hope that I really captured this little guy! He was so different than his brother at this age and it was so funny. Aiden, his brother was asleep the entire time we did his newborn session but Landon was wide awake and not sure if he was too happy about pictures... but we got some great ones and I love it!!!


Little Baby behinds are just soo cute!









This is a new favorite of mine, just so beautiful and intimate!


Babies are not always happy getting their pictures taken, but it's ok, it's who they are:)











Such a beautiful little boy!



Details!!!!

Thanks DeWall family!!! I love helping to capture these memories for you! You are such an amazing family!!!

My Cute Nephews growing up!!!

So Aidan and Liam turned 2 on May 1st and we went to celebrate in Pinetop! I can't believe how big they are getting and how much they keep changing on me. They are so smart and so cute!!!!

We decided to go fishing so we got some great pictures of them fishing for the first time! Don't they look like little men?

Aidan getting ready to fish!


They had their own fishing poles!


He's so grown up!



So Cute!!!



Carrine, Michael, and little Ethan joined us too. It was really cold though so Ethan wasn't very happy!


Aidan with Grandma.








My sisters husband also has twin nephews and they came along too. This was their first fishing trip and Cole caught 2 fish!!! Amazing.



I love Aidan looking at the fish below.


We also spent time watching my parents new washers and dryers go round and round... amazing how you can amuse the boys!


They found the horsey and could finally ride it on their own! They had an awesome time... so cute.

Addie Miller - 7 Months!!!

This is Addie, one of the cutest little girls on the face of this earth and aren't I so lucky that I got to photograph her!!!!!!!!

This is my third session with her... the first time she was in her mothers stomach!!!

It's amazing watching her grow and being able to take these monumental pictures of her. It's especially amazing to me too because as I watch her I think of my little girl who is about to come soon.... it makes me want to meet her even more!

Addie is so adorable and so loveable... you can tell that she is loved because she is just so happy and loves her mommy and daddy sooooo much!!!!

I hope you enjoy these pictures because they truly are some of my favorites!

Max Itkowitz

Do you remember this cute cute little guy? When Max was 2 weeks old I was able to photograph his first session. The best thing about my job is it doesn't stop at one session.... Max is now 7 months old and I went back and was able to see how much he has changed! It's amazing. He is so adorable and I can't wait to see him once again once he starts walking.

We started the session with Bath time and then headed out to the park to get some more pictures. We then ended the session with a much needed nap for this little man!! Love em!!

Shelley's Maternity Session

Yesterday I met up with Shelley and John Robbins to shoot a maternity session with them. I photographed their wedding in 2006 and i'm so glad that they called me back up to shoot this session. We had such a great time and it was so good catching up.

I still have a ton of pictures to go through but I had to share this one. This was the last part of the day and I had a vision when I saw this location and this is exactly what I envisioned! I think this shot is absolutely gorgeous and I LOVE it! Once I've had a chance to go through the other pictures I will share more!

Little Ethan

This weekend has been wonderful and fun! I came up to Pinetop this weekend to get away and relax a little with my sister and her boys. It's been a lot of fun!

While here Carrine came over and brought little Ethan who is 4 months old. I had to take some pictures while I got to see him! I photographed Carrine and Michaels wedding and Carrine is my sisters best friend, so I had to take some pictures of Ethan.

He is so cute and was so good for the photo shoot!!! These are a few of my favorites.

Little Baby Addison

More Baby Pictures!!!!

A few weeks back I was able to take pictures of little Miss. Addison. What a cutie I tell you!!! We had a great time and got some great pictures of this little girl.

Their little Dog is a great protector and was very cautious about the intruder with the camera. But she calmed down and by the end was trying to get into all the pictures.



She's ready to go work!! Addisons mom is a nurse, so we had to get some scrubs in the picture!



I love naked babies!!!



I think she is going to be a little princess for sure!



I love this shot and how Addie is looking at her Daddy... the next one as well!












Little Feet are so wonderful!







Addie got a little fussy and Mom was trying to comfort her.



What an intimate moment between Addie and her mom. Makes my heart melt!



Bath Time!!!!






And then nap time. Although she ended up not wanting to sleep.






And to end it all, we did a family picture! Aren't they a wonderful family!



Thanks guys! I had a great time! I can't wait until her next session!

Little Baby Reece

I photographed Michele and Randy's wedding in April of 06 and they have quickly become good friends of mine! I was so thrilled to find out that they were pregnant. Reece came earlier than expected, but is doing wonderful! I was over there 2 weeks ago and we were able to do some great pictures of this little man!!!

Isn't he cute? Congratulations both of you.... he is adorable!!!
