Class of 2013: Cassidy

First I want to start this post by saying thank you to both Cassidy and her mom Lynda, for allowing me to be apart of such a special time your lives, I had so much fun with you girls and can't wait for out next session together!  Cassidy is going in to her senior year of high school at Cactus Shadows, which happens to be the high school I graduated from, so I instantly felt a connection with the two of them!  Then first meeting them I knew it would be a great session, they are the most adorable mom and daughter duo and you can tell they are super close, I loved every second of it!  After our session as we were driving back to our cars Lynda says to me "I can tell you were made to do this, by how much fun you had with us" ...I can't tell you how much that meant to me and really hit home to me that I am doing something that I absolutely LOVE doing and its the greatest gift in the world!  Here is  a sneak peek into our adventure:

Oh hello, I forgot to mention, Cassidy is absolutely GORGEOUS! made my job easy :) I mean seriously! Look at those eyes!

I am so glad I convinced you to take one Lynda :) You can tell where Cassidy gets her good looks from!

Meet Eve and Cambree!

I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot the other day with the sweetest mom and her 4 year old daughter in Cave Creek, Arizona.  The day was perfect and we had so much fun!  The location was outstanding and this little girl has enough personality for two of her!

Check them out!

{Love that face she makes!}

Calling all seniors!

Meet Cyan!

 This is Cyan.  

She is will be in the 5th grade,

she's funny, so talkative,

sweet, caring

little girl who loves

horses!  When it comes to 

"posing" for the camera she is a little shy

but once she warmed up I got some smiles out of her!

As long as they were not funny faces! 

Isn't she adorable!

and how she touched a cow's eye!

Cyan telling me a story about the Science Center...

I love this one.  I wonder what she is thinking about?

Meet Jen!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to shoot somewhere new and I loved every second of it!  It was so much fun!  And I was taking pictures of Jen who is gorgeous inside and out!  She was such a trooper, laying in dirt, sitting on rocks, basically going anywhere I said "oohh that would be a great picture". She was down for anything even in her pretty dress!  I couldn't have asked for anything more, oh and the pictures of her turned out amazing!  Take a peek:

What I loved most about this photo shoot is Jen wore a piece of jewelry that belonged to her dad who passed away a couple years ago.  This makes the pictures with the turquoise ring so special and I love that she shared  a piece of her family with me.  So here are some pictures that captured it:

A reoccurring theme of this photo shoot was: "Seriously! Your gorgeous!"  and here is a picture that proves it and probably one of my favorites:

Thanks Jen for the great day!  I look forward to taking pictures/going on an adventure with you again!

Delivery: Braxton
