Jaxzen looks so adorable in his crocheted crown by Naturally Sweet Surprises.
The crown has been passed down.
Due to extenuating circumstances, the title of Cutest Kid Ever has been passed down to the first runner-up Jaxzen! I will be taking his photos this morning and can't wait to see how cute he is in his crown!
He is a bit older now ;-) But look at that smile and his beautiful hair!
Valentine's Mini-Sessions
I am finally at a point in my career that I can offer mini-sessions. What is a mini-session? Mini-sessions are offered about 3 times a year at specified locations. They are generally for children only and are booked back-to-back at 30 min. time slots at one location with the same props. Because they are shorter sessions, the fee is smaller too! I am also offering a free 8x10 print for these sessions only. The theme for the first one is Valentine's Day. I am actually opening this up for the first 2 Saturdays in February; one in Goodyear, and another in Phoenix. One of the props on hand will be a little kissing booth, it is so cute!
Update- Giving is Awesome Winner Announced!
Here is the winning entry-
I am
writing to nominate a family for the free portraits. I am a 911 dispatch
supervisor for the Snowflake-Taylor Police Dept. in Snowflake AZ I have a
woman by the name of Summer pierce who works for me. Summer is married and has
3 children a girl 13 and 2 boys Jake who is now 7, he was diagnosed with leukemia 3 years ago and her husband had his own business but because of the
economy had to file for bankruptcy. He has not had work since then. He has
stayed home with the kids while Summer works full time. During the 3 years
since Jake was diagnosed summer has continued to work full time while running
back and forth the 300 miles to Phoenix children's hospital. at first it was
twice a week and then once a month. They did not have a real good vehicle at
the time but somehow always made it. they have since been able to get a better
vehicle. She has also been home teaching her children at the same time, since Jake could not go to school for fear of getting sick. she is one of the strongest woman I know. she has done all of this without ever complaining about
any of it. she is also one of nicest people I know. she would do anything to
help anyone who needs help. she loves her family so very much and I know she
would love to have some wonderful pictures of her family. Jake is now off of
chemo and is doing well. He only has to go for checkups every 6 months.
Congratulations Summer!

Pet Funeral- printing class assingment "Mood"
I am uncomfortable with death, more specifically funerals. They are far too depressing for me. I prefer weddings and family portraits. As a baby step out that mindset, I chose to do a whimsical shoot of children at a pet funeral. As we grow and mature, we realize that death is a normal part of life and pet shop rodents are easily replaced. This collection explores the high drama of the juvenile mind. The classic black is the cohesive element, but the style choices of the children are highly individualized as is appropriate for their age group. The setting is a community park and playground. Each image has been given a dark vignette to make the colors more bold and the blacks darker, which add to the theme of whimsical sadness.
And the winner of the Cutest Kid EVER contest is.....
