The Hassayampa River Preserve is a favorite area of mine in Arizona! It's on the way to Wickenburg and every time I visit I feel like I am arriving back in Pennsylvania and the fun parks and lakes I'd frequent growing up. There are hiking trails, birds galore, and flowing water! (Which I find very exciting in the desert!) The colors are absolutely beautiful and there are so many places to explore.
I was invited to tag along with a friend and her two little cuties over my spring break. It was so much fun! I had a chance to bask in my love of nature photography as I chased after beautiful hummingbirds. I also was able to capture some sweet moments of the boys and their amazing mom! She's a photographer too! You should check out her work here! The boys had a blast exploring the area, rock climbing, and playing in the water. The cottonwood trees were dropping their seeds, so there was cottonwood floating everywhere like snow! Such an amazing morning!






























Oh how lucky I've been to be able to snuggle and photograph all of these babies lately! Baby "L" was just full of sweetness and adorable smiles! She fought sleep for a little wanting to partake in all of the awake fun, but once she really fell into a deep sleep her cute little lips formed into the shape of a heart! So precious! Thank you for sharing your morning with me!














Baby "A" was an absolute dream to photograph and so so sweet! We had a mixture of both asleep and awake time and I was excited to be able to capture her beautiful eyes!!! The light just reflected from them! Also, aren't her little lips just the cutest!
I loved the quilt that we used towards the end of the session. The colors were so vibrant and Baby "A's" friends and family created the squares and it was sewn together by her crafty Aunt. This little cutie is as sweet as can be and so very loved! Thank you for spending your afternoon with me!





















I can't help but smile when I look through these pictures! These cuties all celebrated their first birthday very close together and so their mama's, who are close friends, decided to have one big celebration! Each sweet one year old had a little area decorated just for them and a fun cake to dig into after the singing! What a fun morning and fabulous way to celebrate!















What a fabulous family! We had such a lovely evening with gorgeous lighting, a fun new location, a cool truck and lots of little kid giggles and dancing. It didn't take too much to get these sweet boys giggling and they have such an awesome big sister and parents who were all for dancing and joining in on the silliness to get even more smiles!
You could just tell that this family has fun together and the love between them shows! I had such a great time photographing your beautiful family! Thank you for sharing your evening with me!
