The Eckstein Family

Kevin and Kendi have been friends with my husband since highschool; and Kendi has known him since elementary school. They are great friends and our kids see them often enough they call them Uncle and Aunt. They have two amazing kids named Kotton and Kloey. Kotton is getting ready to start kindergarten and Kloey just turned two. Those kids LOVE "cocoa"...aka chocolate milk. I have now had to supply the pantry with Chocolate syrup for when they come over. If not the kids will NOT lay down and fall asleep. We love having Kevin and Kendi as friends, we are very lucky! Here are the Ecksteins...

 

Bret Senior Pics

I met Bret for the first time at our scheduled shoot. He is a student at Valley Vista High school. Bret was a gentleman from the moment I met him. He made sure to ask him Mother if the clothes he was taking with him would look okay, and if the shoes he picked would work out. (mama's boy for sure) He opened the car doors, always walked right beside me carrying on intellectual conversation, and he is extremely funny. Ladies if you thought chivalry is gone then you definitely need to meet this man. Besides his chivalrous nature he had so many talents. Without bragging, Bret told me he could play the piano, guitar, ukulele and that he was an awesome dancer (without any kind of training). I asked him if he could krump...to my surprise he told me he could, but some of his friends say he looks like a flailing chicken.    :) Meet Bret...

I love me some Dar!

Darianne and I met last year on her birthday. We had a blast going to Mcdonalds, getting drinks and staying in the playplace until they kicked us out. LOL. What can say about Darianne other then she is amazing. She just recently got engaged to her "Edward", and that is all she could talk about throughout the session. It was refreshing to have someone so in love to remind you of that same love you share with a spouse. Darianne is also a  total HOOT. She had me grinning from ear to ear and laughing so hard my abs were getting a strenuous workout. (you will see what I'm talking about in the pictures) She has been through a lot in her life which has shaped her to the person she is today, and I am glad that I can say I know her and am friends with her!

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...
