Reeder Family

I love and am grateful for all the amazing clients that I get to meet, and I know that I probably shouldn't have favorite ones, but sometimes I can't help it. I have photographed this beautiful family for years, and they have become some of my favorite people to photograph! 

 Seriously, can you blame me? Look at how cute they are!

They just welcomed their third boy into their family, and I can't think of a better excuse to have some family pictures taken. Especially of this bunch. 

It's still pretty hot here in Arizona, so we wanted to quickly get some great shots in before we all melted. Luckily, these boys are pros and we were able to capture some sweet photographs in no time at all! 

This is their precious newborn, born just 17 days ago. He is almost three weeks old, and still so teeny tiny! Momma was afraid of having a big baby, but he was their smallest by far.

I love how alert he is! And look at the red in his hair! Too cute.

As always, it was a pleasure to be able to spend some time with this beautiful family. I look forward to watching these boys grow up, and photographing them every step of the way!

Mister I turns one

I have found that when it comes to taking pictures of my own kids, I seriously struggle!  As a photographer I don't know if that is a good thing to admit, but there you have it.  They usually give me this look that obviously says "Please mom, not the camera again."  Is that a normal thing, or is it because I seem to have the camera in their faces all. the. time?  I can get them to giggle and sit still, but the moment I raise the camera, they're running for the hills!  Talk about frustrating.  Sometimes though, the stars align, and they decide to sneak in a smile or two.

My little guy recently turned 1, and since he isn't quite walking yet, he was easy to contain and I was able to get some super cute shots!  This boy melts my heart.

And because 1 year old's only have an attention span of about 7.39 minutes, I wanted to get some pictures of him in his "natural habitat."  This little guy loves to crawl around, and he is super fast too!

Happy Birthday Isaac!
