Alexa - Phoenix, AZ Newborn Phototgrapher

Some of you might remember a Newborn Contest we did back in March. I'm so happy to announce Alexa was born earlier this month! Her parents had been trying to have a baby for 10 years and she's the answer to their prayers. She was a doll and did great during our session, slept most of the time. I feel so lucky to be part of their journey and document this joyous time in their lives. Here are just some of her pictures from our session...

Newborn Colton - Chandler Newborn Photographer

Photographing this newborn was certainly a treat! This 4 day old newborn belongs to a wonderful friend of mine. His two older brothers are super excited to have him join the gang, you may remember them from this previous session. Their house if full of all kinds of boy toys ready for him to play with. So, when I showed up for our session the boys had left their play mat along with cars, trains and planes where out. How much "boy" can you get?!

He gave me lots of sweet baby smiles!

Newborn Jameson - Mesa, AZ Newborn Photographer

I'm not going to lie, I didn't want to leave this session. Jameson was a perfect newborn. No peeing or pooing occurred during our session and he was such an awesome sleeper. Ah, just perfect and snugly! Here are some of his newborn pictures we captured...

Tempe Town Lake - Tempe AZ Family Photographer

Today I went scouting in downtown Tempe for ideas on future photo sessions. I did this last year, but it's always nice to look at things from a different perspective. My friend Amy and I both have sessions scheduled there soon so we loaded up the gang and headed to downtown Tempe. We spent most of the afternoon chasing after our kids, laughing and brainstorming.

Here are the boys burning up some energy...
Spencer said "Mom, mom look at me, take a picture"


Spencer is about to lose his front bottom tooth, so this will probably be one of his last pictures with his baby smile! The tooth is even to the side... that's how loose it is! Makes me sooo sad.
More running around...

"Mom look at me, see what I can do? Take a picture"
Scary face... Ok, I'm starting to see this quickly becoming a Spencer photo session. ha!
We ended up at the beach, yes there's a beach in downtown Tempe. Not big, probably about 100 feet long, but a beach nonetheless. Here's Amy taking a pic of her little girl.
I should post some pictures from our last adventure scouting out places. It seems that we always end up by a body of water with my boys soaked, naked, and cold! This was just the beginning. I reminded them how cold they were last time, but of course they didn't listen. Thankfully, I found extra clothes in our car to have them change in to.
Ashley wanted to get in so bad, she even took off her diaper because she saw her brothers' getting undressed.
"Not too bad..."
"Maybe if we raise our pants this time we won't be cold..."
About 20 minutes after they started playing in the water we noticed a dead fish. Yuck! It must have been there for a while because brave Amy tried to move it and she was grossed out that it felt hollow. I was just grossed out to see it. lol
Until our next adventure!
