Three Boys, One Tunnel. In Gilbert AZ

Mama contacted me about how it was time for new family pictures.  We did the usual, discussing styling and locations.  She happened to see a session I did last year, with four boys in a tunnel.  Then she proceeded to tell me about how she grew up in Canada and to get to her best friend's house, they had to walk through a pedestrian tunnel, and it became their favorite playplace.

Location, check!!  And she showed up with her own boys totally styled and looking great.  We had so much fun playing and capturing some fun moments.  Now Mom has even more fun tunnel memories to add to her collection!

 

And She's Back!

I have photographed this sweet little girl every year since she was in diapers.  We have done her photos all over Gilbert and sometimes even in San Tan Valley.  Her Mom always dresses her so cute and her smile is always wide and infectious.  The best part is though, by the end she always takes my hand as we walk back towards the cars.  It makes me melt every time and it reminds me why I love family photography.  The connection. 

Thanks sweet Emma.  You made my day!

Saturday, Feb 1, 1:00 to 4:00 pm, $70.  Space is very limited.  You need a DSLR with a Manual setting.  Canon preferred, if you have a Nikon, let me know ahead of time.
