Remember Me? The Long Lost Photographer?

JeniferS — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 18:12:13 +0000

It’s been awhile since I’ve been here…do you still remember me? I’ve had a busy winter what with adjusting to the winter weather of Portland (after ten years in Phoenix, I forgot how to dress for cold weather) , Sam flying again, and being a full time graduate student. But, just as the sun has finally decided to peak it’s lovely bright warm face out from behind the clouds, so have I (that’s not to say that I have either a lovely or a bright face though haha).

To welcome you all back into my bloggy little life, I have a group of some cute kids that I photographed recently down in Phoenix (thankfully, I missed the 114 degree weather by a few days!). There are few families/children that could have brought me out of my photography hibernation, but these kids were able to do just that!

I’ve been photographing Miss A since she was 9 months old. She’s about to turn 5 years old in a couple of months. And you might recognized the two boys as Batman & Robin from my October sessions. Aren’t they cute both in and out of costume?

When I planned on coming back to Phoenix to photograph these brothers for the second time, I had no idea that I’d be photographing a couple of Super Heroes!

Aren’t they adorable? Batman was 100% into character…which made for a very fun session.

Cousins {Phoenix Children’s Photographer}

I traveled back to Phoenix this past weekend to photograph a few of my favorite families. First up was a group of cousins…one year old, one year old, two and half years old and three years old. It was a busy but fun morning. I’ve photographed these two families since the oldest was a newborn so it was a blessing to come back to Phoenix for their latest sessions.

New Client Freeze

Some of you may have heard that I am returning to graduate school in the fall. I’ve decided to pursue my M.Ed in gifted education. Before having children, I was a teacher. Now as a mother of school aged children I am seeing the need in our schools for qualified teachers of gifted learners.

I have always appreciated all of my new clients, especially those who were referred by current clients, and hope that everyone understands this decision.

A True Gift {Glendale Newborn Photographer}

JeniferS — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:42:18 +0000

I believe that each baby and child is a gift to his or her parents and to the world but once in a rare while you will have the chance to meet a true gift. Someone who truly has something special to bring to his family and the people around him. This weekend I met someone like that. Little “M” is only 21 days old but he is one of those special gifts. He’s amazingly cute, amazingly alert and also amazingly calm. He also fits in just perfectly with his family.

I’ve know his family for a couple of years. We met during my homeschooling days and have been in and out of contact. When I heard that they were expecting baby “M”, I knew what my gift would be….I had to document him in his first days. You can see in this sneak peek that baby “M” will be one well loved child…especially by his big brother who had a kiss for him each time he came into the room.

Enjoy, it’s a rather large sneak peek!

Princess Olivia - the Fairy Tale Ball {Peoria Children’s Photography}

Today was the First Grade Fairy Tale Ball. It was a wonderful celebration to end a fun study of fairy tales in Olivia’s class (and the other first grade classes). All of the first graders dressed up as characters from the various fairy tales they have studied, ate “Fairy Tale Parfait” (yogurt w/ fruite & granola), built castles (out of toilet paper rolls), listened to fairy tales in the “Royal Library” and learned to dance a waltz like all good princesses and princes do. You can even see the wonderful Mrs. Armstrong as a a beautiful Princess Tiana (w/ frog!).

Waiting for “L” {Scottsdale Maternity Photography}

This past weekend, I met a really fun couple. ”R” and “M” are expecting their first baby and opted for an outdoor maternity session. I L-O-V-E outdoor maternity sessions!! I had so much fun at this session that I just can’t wait for little “L” to arrive so that we can schedule her newborn session.

Little Man “J” {Scottsdale Children’s Photography}

The first time I met this little guy’s big sister, she was just a few months older than he is now. That was a few years ago and the family has become one of my favorites to photograph. His big sister has just a tad bit of “spiritedness” that reminds me of my own daughter….so she of course just warms my heart every time I see her!

Today it was the little guy’s big one year old photoshoot! We had to postpone a couple times due a weather and a yucky case of pink eye on my son’s part but we finally were able to meet up at Anthem this week for his session.

As you can see, he is just an absolute doll. The shot with him in his red shirt makes him look like such a little man! But then in the rest, you can see that he is just a fun loving toddler (who by the way, plays a nice game of catch!).

Enjoy….

Two Cuties {DC Ranch Child’s Photographer}

I met a couple of the most adorable girls last week. Big sister loved the camera while little sister was quite shy….but as you can see, we got little sister to warm up to me just fine.
