This newborn photography session at Coon Bluff in Mesa, Arizona, is one of those sessions that I look at and think, "did I really take those?!" Taking newborn pictures has to be one of my absolute favorite things to do! I was double excited when my friend Kim asked me to do them outside, with full on natural light, during the golden hour!
One of my favorite things about being a family photographer is photographing KIDS. During this session in Mesa AZ, the Walker's little girl couldn't help but strike a pose every time she caught me pointing my lens toward her!
Even though I absolutely love being a photographer and photographing families, I am notorious for forgetting to pull my camera out for family events and vacations. I still haven't quite found the balance of toting my camera and my baby at the same time...
A couple months ago in Arizona, we had a ton of rain! Like, more rain than we've had in years. Because this rain came during the Spring time, we had what was called a "superbloom," which basically meant that everything was green and the perfect backdrop for family photography sessions!
There is a lot of competition here in Mesa, Arizona, for family photographers, and that can be a hard hurdle to jump for a new and still-learning photographer. One of my biggest reasons for starting to blog again was to chronicle my journey to learning how to be a photographer.
