BABY LEILA

On October 1st, we took a follow up trip to Show Low in the White Mountains to photograph Carolyn again. We visited her back in August to do her maternity shoot and this time we had the pleasure of meeting her family's new addition.

Her name is Leila and she came into the world needing a haircut ... she has a full head of long dark hair. She was originally supposed to be a "he", but a later ultrasound revealed otherwise. At shoot time she was just shy of 2 weeks old and she was absolutely adorable!!!

Haley, her older sister loved playing with her and sweetly refers to her as "sissy." We had a great time working with her, and her whole family ... by the way, it is probably pretty obvious that her father, Shain, is a true Raiders fan :-).

Carolyn, again thank you for having us mark these momentous occasions in your lives. We had a great time and she really is sooooo cute!!!

KIMBERLY AND DEREK - DAY AFTER SHOOT, SEDONA

You just can't go wrong with this couple ... seriously, we think they are secretly models. The Tuesday after Kimberly and Derek's wedding we headed to Sedona to photograph their "Day-After" session. We love these shoots! They are so much fun and they give the couple a chance to get photographs they simply don't have time to do on the day of the wedding. You will notice a couple of shots with a very photogenic tree frog. Kimberly loves frogs (and lizards), as do we, so when the photo gods smiled down on us and presented us with this cute little amphibian, we quickly pounced on the chance to use him as our extra subject. Kimberly said she would love it if we could get a shot of him posing on her dress ... man did we nail it (if we do so humbly say so ourselves.)

Again guys, it was such a pleasure having the chance to work with you! Thank you for following us up to Merry-Go-Round Rock (I swear we aren't on crack). We hope you will agree that the resulting photos were well worth the effort :-)!

KIMBERLY AND DEREK WEDDING - SASSI, SCOTTSDALE

We are falling very behind on our blogging ... but we promise we are trying to catch up.

Kimberly and Derek had their wedding at Sassi in Scottsdale on September 28th. This was such a beautiful wedding with an equally beautiful couple. They should seriously consider dropping their day jobs and becoming models :-).

The reception was full of fun and emotion and we are quite sure the highlight for Kimberly came when Derek made his singing debut, singing a touching song to his new wife. Derek, you did an amazing job!!!

Thank you both so much for allowing us the opportunity to capture your special day. The love between you is obvious ... we wish you all the best!
