The Duty Family

The Duty family was so inviting from the moment I met them. They weren't afraid to talk and didn't shy away from any pictures. Christy new exactly where she wanted to shoot which made my job extremely easy. I think we covered every square inch of Saguaro Ranch Park including the flower garden and beyond. Their daughter was so worried about every picture I took, but realistically she looked gorgeous. She needed a new picture for facebook is what her mom had told me. Their son was very laid back and quiet until his sister would tease him, then we would finally get a laugh out of him. The Duty family was over flowing with laughter and love for their family. Meet the Duty family...

The Welchoff Family

Monica is my oldest sister, 9 years my senior. Her husband Don and her have been married now 5 years. Don loves to golf while Monica enjoys scrapbooking and being a stay at home mom. There are so many embarassing things I could say about her but I know she would kill me if I did, so I will leave it at that for her.

Morgan is a Sophmore in highschool and loves checking out the boys. She is EXTREMELY talented and in all the "smart" kid classes. Alex is now 18 months and a handful. She enjoys taking off her clothes and running around naked and she always laughs when she can make Monica mad...which makes me laugh. Who knew that little kids could already push buttons at 18 months. Alex is so much fun to be around and talks very well for her age. Meet my sister and her family...

The Crouse & Extended Family

I will never forget this session simply because of Adrian (I hope I spelled that right). There were 3 families and Grandma/Grandpa in one session. However, Adrian hated taking pictures and didn't want to do anything but pout. The only thing that worked with him was to sing a song from a Nickelodeon cartoon or bribe him with candy. All the mom's weren't very happy about him not smiling but it just made me smile more. By the end of the shoot Adrian was in high hopes and finally wanting to smile. I am glad that Rachel let me be apart of her families photo session. Meet ALL the families from this day...

The Curtis Family

Jaci and I met playing women's volleyball for our church. I was drawn immediately to her personality. She wasn't afraid to speak her mind but always did it in a nice way...and I LOVE IT! Jaci and her husband are HUGE football fans. Journee, their daugther, was so cute in her purple glasses and nearly toothless. But even with her teeth missing she wasn't afraid to show me her million dollar smile. Brayden loved posing himself and was always trying to come up with a new way to pose on this tree, or by that bench, or over in that house. Now beau...what to say about him. He was the cutest little boy you will ever meet. You would just say his name and he would grin from ear to ear. The Curtis family was a blast to shoot for, meet the Curtis Family...

Rafferty Family

What can I say about the Rafferty family but they are so sweet. Genny was always so polite and sweet in conversation, as well as her husband. They both love music and her husband teaches at a highschool. Their little girl loved to be center of attention, she was a "poser" through and through. Their son however, was learning to walk and didn't want to be held at all. He was trying to be as independent as possible. I am so glad I was able to meet this family and capture special memories for them. Meet the Rafferty's...

MJ Caldwell

Megan is the most AMAZING sister anyone could ask for. She is 2 years my senior and basically my closest friend. (until she moved to Utah lol). Megan loves anything to do with art. Painting, drawing, coloring-thats Megan. She loves to pull her "microphone", aka brush, from her purse and sing like no one is watching. It is actually quite embarassing, but I love her. Meet my sister...

Miss Paige

WOW what can I say about Paige. I grew up with her, she literally was my BFF. We use to attend church dances together, cruise bell to "check out the hotties", and sneak in to as many movies as possible. We thought we were rebels but truth be known, we really weren't. We always crushed on the same boys and ended up hating each other for weeks following when the other girl got the boy. But like I said, we really are BFF's. Meet my "paigerz"...

Baby A

Allyson is a quiet and patient 6 wk old. She didn't care if her mom changed her clothes, left her lying naked, or put her in awkward positions. She was content enough to sleep through the whole photo session. (Her brothers and sister were so excited that they got to participate in the session.) You could see how much each family member truely loved their new addition. Meet allyson...
