Happy 11th B-day Kiana!

I was invited to take some birthday pictures of Kiana on her 11th birthday at Crush. Her mom treated Kiana, her friends, and her sisters to a fun celebration of glitz and glamour! Mom had fun too...what a fun mom Kiana has! I also enjoyed the party myself.

5 years ago, I worked with little Kiana...and now, I can't get over the fact that she is no longer that shy little girl I use to know. Kiana has grown so much and she's such a beautiful and bright young lady now. Kiana still acts quite shy, but during this special session, she was ready to show off her "glamorous" new look!

Thanks Khounma & Kiana for inviting me. I had so much fun!

Gymnastics Project Preview

Here's a quick glimpse of the projects I have been working on for Desert Gymnastics. I hope to show these off pretty soon!

Miss Megan turned 8!

I did this photo shoot the first week when the temperature dropped down below 20 degrees! Megan had just turned 8 and we were out doing her Birthday Photos!!! She was a trooper and she posed for the camera like she was not cold at all! I had her do some jumping jacks in between shoots, but she did not mind one bit. *heeeheee*

I have known Megan since she's been on Nikayla's team, in Hot Shots. However, it wasn't until this very cold, freezing day, did I get to know Megan's goofy side!!! She is super adorable and she reminds me of a little "pageant" princess! I was super excited for this session because she is so easy to work with and I just let her be her! She's one of those posers too, who won't let you get those "candid" shots...but luckily, I was quick enough to get a few when she thought I wasn't looking!

Three Boys on a Cold Autumn Day

Jaeden, Kaeleb, & Chase sure gave me the photo shoot I will never forget! I never thought that my hobby would incorporate exercise. ^_^

Michelle was very nervous and worried that the boys would act up. Fortunately, I had a pocket full of candy and that was a plus on my part...and theirs! *lol* However, the day was pretty chilly and instead of placing the energetic boys in posing positions, I had them run around so they could stay warm!!! They had a blast and I had so much fun. Chase is the funniest boy I have ever met... such a talkative 3 year old. The whole time there, he was waiting for Free Willy to jump out of the water and he was kinda disappointed that he never saw the big whale, but he sure did find a big pile of leaves!!!
