This mama grew up in Yuma and wanted family photos taken here to hang as art on the walls of her new home in Califormia. Her mom still lives here and it was really cool to have her included in the session. I think the boys will cherish having these photos of them with their Nana. I so enjoyed this session. Their quiet love left me feeling full of peace. And oh my gosh, her dress was stunning and absolutely perfect for the desert!
My goal as a photographer is to create art for my clients. I want them to see their families and lives as works of art. This isn't about perfection, but instead about the beauty of the imperfect. I'm so excited that one of my photos from a newborn/family session here in Yuma has been chosen to be featured in Dear Photographer magazine! This image was made in my client's master bedroom using window light. No fuss or complicated setup, just the family hanging out at home while I photographed their new chapter of life. The theme of this magazine issue was "Details" which is something I'm passionate about. Like in this photo, the curve of mom's hand and the anticipation of her touching his sweet little foot give me all the heart eyes. I include detail shots like this in all of my newborn sessions.
Since Yuma has a big military community we locals have the opportunity to meet some incredible people from around the world. I was happy to meet and photograph this beautiful family. Their little guy was on the go for most of the session and I think he had a great time. I love capturing details and one of my favorites from this session is the photo of his hair standing up. As a parent I know that it's those adorable little things we don't want to forget. The twins were just about as sweet and loving as you can imagine and so patient with their little brother.
