Today and tomorrow are two of my little sisters' birthdays and they are becoming not so little! Yes these first pictures are WAY different because one was taken almost a year ago and my techniques have definitely changed. This lets me know I need to take recent pictures of my sisters!! Cambria on the left is 10 years old today!
Man where has the time gone! It seems just like yesterday I was holding her in my arms and could not wait to let my friends see her. She is spunky, imaginative, and very smart. Cambria and my youngest sister Jaiden, who is almost eight, are the best of friends and it is so fun to watch them grow up together. None of me and my other sisters were that close growing up so it is super cute! Alyson is definitely not a little sister anymore, she is going to be 17 tomorrow and I can hardly believe it! She is also a good two inches taller than me, but then again the sister right above her is also taller than me and the one below her is an inch away. Aly has always made me laugh till I almost pee my pants. In the last couple of years we have gotten close as sisters and friends and it has been the best! She is always up for a photo session to be my model when I visit! This last time I visited Thatcher Arizona me and Aly went out to the Safford Golf Course. She always is self conscious when she models for me, but I get her out of her shell by get her to laugh and we have a good time! Being the oldest of 6 girls, yes you read that right-SIX girls, is sometimes a lot of pressure. You have five little, well not so little anymore, people watching your every move, looking up to you and wanting to be just like you. It used to REALLY annoy me when I was younger for example I would start dressing a certain way and they would too or I would be obsessed with a new music artist and they would also listen to them non stop. But as I got older it made me watch what I would do and say because I knew 5 other eyes and ears were on the radar. I love my sisters so much and we are the best of friends. I would do anything for them and protective from anything or anyone, so ya better watch out ;) I get to see my family in two weeks for Thanksgiving and I can hardly wait! I will be counting down the days! Friends come and go but family will always be there for you!

I was so excited and happy when Elysa told me at the beginning of her shoot she LOVES having her pictures taken!! Can you say perfect?! We decided to do her session at Denzil Stewart Nature Park in Logan. Thought it was a Monday, it was packed being Columbus Day everyone had scheduled their pictures the same time! It was a perfect day to take pictures and the fall colors were so pretty. There were a half a dozen families there as well as a couple of other seniors taking their pictures as well. Elysa even recognized one of her friends there! Her senior shoot was such a blast and we had so much fun during it. Elysa was so perfect and natural posing, we were able to do some advanced poses some people usually cannot do. This girl was a pro! She let me pose her however and when she did not feel 100% natural, I said- trust me I promise it looks good, she trusted me and was confident in herself! I asked if she wanted to try some more serious shots and she just went for it thought she could not keep herself from smiling. Her beautiful smile is contagious! After trying a couple of serious shots, I rarely had her do anymore because her smile was her best accessory! I could not help but to want to capture every picture with her smiling. HER EYES. This girl's eyes are stunning!! Elysa is gorgeous inside and out and you cannot be around her without feeling happy and leaving her presence without being in a good mood. So happy I was able to meet her and take her senior pics while having so much fun. I ended up taking her family's picture today also, so hopefully she did not get tired of me! She is definitely a pro at pictures now ;)
One word-MODEL. Mikaela is beautiful inside and out and was a natural at taking pictures! I was glad to be back in Thatcher Arizona and having a perfect session made it all worth the while! Mikaela told me because of her braces she did not want to smile at all with her teeth; I did though sneak in a couple of adorable laughing pictures ;) So instead, she rocked the model pose! I hardly had to tell her what to do, she would just naturally fall into a pose. This girl is only an 8th grader!! My little sister is in her grade and has been in sports with her and it has been so fun watching them grow up. Mikaela is super talented as well as being a super fun girl to be around! She was so confident and owned that model face, I was so impressed. Her adorable shirt is from a local shop back home in Safford Arizona called The Wear! They have super cute clothes and tons perfect for fall so go check them out! I love the feel of fall and being able to wear comfy clothes and cute boots! I will be back in Thatcher the first week of December and would love to do a couple of mini sessions for a great price so contact me if you are interested!
More from my class in Malad Idaho! Kassy modeled for the Senior shoot part of the session and rocked it!!! Kimber's Makeup Artistry did Kassy's makeup and she did such a good job! Kassy looked stunning. She is already super gorgeous and was a natural at modeling. She practically did not have to be told what to do and just naturally fell into a pose. Her outfit was perfect for the upcoming fall season and plaid definitely does her good! Her outfit made me all giddy and excited for fall. Back at home in Arizona we do not have much of a fall, or seasons for that matter. There are two seasons in AZ, hot and less hot! Nervous and excited for the cold here in Utah in my new home.
So glad I was able to get to know Kassy and take pictures of her beautiful face. Love doing Senior sessions! Happy Monday everyone! Scroll down and enjoy :) Loved doing this session at Denzil Stewart Nature Park in Logan Utah. Got to work with the talented Kristi Price of Kristi Alyse Photography as she mentored me for this mock senior shoot. She is SUCH a good teacher and I learned so much! It also made it all the better to have an awesome model like Shannon! She is a gorgeous natural and made this session so fun! I'm still running my Senior Special until the end of October, so hurry now before slots fill up fast! $50 one hour session, one location and two outfits!
These model sisters definetly aren't camera shy and did amazing for this styled boho shoot put on by Katelyn Wamsley of Katelyn Nicole Photography that I was lucky to tag along to! Loved how these shots turned out! Beautiful girls inside and out!!
