Welcome, 2009. Wait, it is March already??

It probably surprises no one that I am a little behind in my posting.  I have been a procrastinator my entire life.  (Just ask my mom; I was not born until 24 days after my due date, but anyway...)

I have had some great shoots in 2009 though, and a few fun moments caught "on film."  Let me bring you up to speed:  

The big excitement in our house in January was that the baby turned 1!  (Fastest year of my life.)  She cracked us up by HATING her cake and sobbing until we fed her a banana.  Health nut! ;)

**this was before the crying began**

Also in January, I was thrilled to schedule a portrait session with my in-laws.  They flew down from Seattle to celebrate the big 0-1 and enjoy our gorgeous weather.  I think these photos ALMOST capture how nice a desert winter truly is.

February came and went, and during that time, I thoroughly enjoyed mini-shoots with my 2 girls.

And that is the Cliff's Notes Version of 2009 -- thus far.
And my New Year's resolution? (Can you still make those in March?? Why the heck not?!) Blog more, of course...

"Waiting on the world to change"

Yesterday, as I sat at my computer and proofed the images from this weekend's maternity session, I was listening to John Mayer's "Waiting on the World to Change." The title struck me as incredibly appropriate, given the nature of a maternity shoot - anticipation of a life changing event. This couple was so much fun and they are so excited to welcome a new little boy next year. I had a fabulous time with our "urban maternity" session and hope you love them too.

The beautiful mama.


A quiet moment and the pretty evening sunlight.


One last sneak peek of the fun couple.


Congratulations to you both. I can't wait to meet the little guy.
