I was beyond excited when my best friend asked me to do her maternity photos in Mesa, Arizona! I have been waiting forever for her to have a baby, and I am so honored to be able to capture such a beautiful time for her and her husband.

This year, I have had so many new family photography clients here in Mesa, Arizona! I tend to get nervous when I meet people for the first time, and was so incredibly happy when this sweet family stepped out of their car!

I sometimes still feel so new to being a family photographer in Gilbert, Arizona, so it still makes me slightly nervous to meet new clients. I have gotten so lucky with the sweet families I’ve been able to work with this season — and this one is no exception!

I don’t think there is anything better as a family photographer than families coming back to you again and again. This family woke up bright and early to get their photos done at Coon Bluff in Mesa, Arizona, in the gorgeous morning sunrise.

I love mini sessions, and I was so excited to photograph this family in beautiful downtown Mesa, Arizona for the second time! Clean, crisp white walls give me life in the same way the desert does.

This is the session that almost wasn't. When Rachel contacted me for her family photo session in Mesa, Arizona, I was so excited to photograph her cute family — and of course, it was the one day all month that it rained!
