look out world, she’s almost a free woman! actually, the world with jillian roaming free is sure to be a better one. i love this girl, she never fails to impress me with her never-ending awesomeness. she’s beautiful (obviously), as well as brilliant, full of kindness and has such a deep soul…not to mention totally rad.

how’s this for a super sneaky sneak peek? check out the rad doodling skills of the ever-fab j!ll.i.an, isn’t it fantastic?

and yep, it’s another hodgepodge (i think i’ve exhausted my comfort level on using that word)… but wow, these things are time-savers! which is super terrific since time is something i’m pretty sure is getting more and more scarce these days. anyone else notice that? funny thing too, because this is loooong one. i know i’ve said that before, but i do believe this one takes the cake.  so, grab a snack and a pillow and enjoy. 

this post is filled with some of my very favorite people in the entire world. being able to photograph them has been an absolute gift.

this is a perfect representation of this mother/daughter pair!

but just because, i guess. i have so many beautiful faces to blog but as i don’t have a post quite ready, i felt compelled to post these sweet feet. i used to be afraid of teens (not really but a standing joke in our house, i think, cuz i fear my kids being teens), but i’ve had the pleasure of hanging with some fantastic teens as of late…my fear seems fleeting. besides, with the shoes teen-aged girls wear, how could they be scary? it makes me smile that emily’s sister artfully decorated these for her. hannah, a career in custom shoe design maybe?

it’s hard to believe school is starting in just a couple weeks, even sooner for some! I’m working with my print shop to put together some really great senior and back to school session package options.  Complete senior shoot and print collection starting at just $395.  Class of 2010, look out world!

i’ll just start by saying that this is going to be another super sneakysneak-peek.  anyhow, i hung out in downtown phoenix last weekend with the beautiful monique for her senior session.  i am of course using the term “hung out” very very loosely here. it was more along the lines of hung on to my camera for dear life fighting against the crazy wind and hung on to my husband for dear life because, well, we were in downtown phx. never-the-less, presenting monique, class of ’09.

 monique, you looked awesome! there”ll be more to come soon.

what took so long you say? well, geez, i moved into a new house and wait for it…4 kids. i know, i know that’s my excuse for everything but come on! they’re not ordinary kids, they’re barbaric, they’re batty, they’re boisterous and sometimes downright scary, see for yourself here.  nonetheless, one more post of the altogether amazing jillian was certainly in order. so here ya go…

wow! smoldering! (more…)

…the second go round. and actually, there will be a third post as well! i know, i know, three posts for one session? that’s right. that’s just how i roll. anyhow, on to miss jillian. jeez! isn’t she amazing? she’s stunning, clearly, but also SO hilarious. we seriously laughed the entire time. i had so much fun i want to bring her on all of my shoots!

i looooove this. love love love it. everything about it. she’s way too cute.
