Happy Mother’s Day to all! Every time I get the opportunity to photograph a newborn baby I am reminded of the gifts I have been given…my 3 beautiful children whom I will always love. This little guy, baby Greyson, has 2 of the most adoring parents, and I just know that their world has been filled with love and happiness since he arrived. Just as mine was when I became a mother, there is no greater joy ♥

Ashley is a super sweet girl destined for big things… she is beautiful, smart, and talented. So smart and talented that she’s headed to Loyola Marymount University after graduation! So she wanted to have her senior photos done outdoors with the natural backdrop of our beautiful desert. I just loved the way it all came together, it was a fun adventure for all of us! Enjoy ♥

We don’t get much seasonal weather change here in the desert, but Spring is a great time to break out the bright happy colors for your family photos! Check out some of the ideas below. Start with one piece that you love, dad’s cool shirt, or mom’s super cute dress for example then build a color palette for the rest family based on the colors in that particular piece. Add a few accessories to tie it all together, and you’re done. It’s that easy!

Mom’s outfit & accessories from ModCloth || All shoes from Zappos

I know this is a little random, but this was the view from my front door earlier tonight…
a beautiful show in the sky that I may never get to see again. Enjoy ♥
