Dog Town Lake

Our family LOVES to go camping. Dog Town Lake, AZ is a nice spot that we’ve been to a couple times – beautiful trees, nice little lake for paddling around in.  Besides cooking in the great outdoors… our next favorite part of camping is relaxing in our hammocks. In fact, we’ve gone from hanging out in hammocks to ditching the tent and sleeping in special enclosed hammocks all night long! No more back pain in the morning – I had to talk my wife into getting off our cots and Nemo pads. She thought she was comfy then, but there is nothing like the feeling of sleeping in a hammock under the stars. The kids LOVED it immediately. Now they have hammocks in their rooms for fun under their loft beds. 😀 Here are some shots I took around the campsite.

Grozav Family

There’s nothing better than capturing a family with their new baby.  The Grozav’s are welcoming their sweet baby girl to their family and her siblings couldn’t be more proud! The shoot took place completely in their home and they were comfortable and had a great time. The nice thing about photographing at home is that mom can easily take breaks to take care of her baby if he or she has immediate needs. A happy baby and relaxed parents make for fantastic natural photographs. I especially loved capturing the moments of her big brother when not being the ‘focus of attention’ – you can see the intensity he has with his game. Little Noemi has an incredibly loving and generous family – may they all be blessed with their lives together.

Butterfly Wonderland

Visited Butterfly Wonderland in Scottsdale. Very cool place where you can walk through a large atrium full of butterflies that will land on and around you. They have an ’emergence gallery’ of pupas in different stages, a bee hive, creepy desert arachnids, live ant colony, 3D theater and an Amazon Aquatic Life experience.  Our youngest son did NOT care for the butterfly landing on his head !! Caught some fun close up photos during our visit there. If you are in town check it out! They are building a new Ocean OdySea Experience next door – should be opening very soon.

Butcher Family

I had the pleasure of photographing the expanded Butcher Family – with their sweet baby boy Jack. After some shots in the comfort of their home we headed up the mountain to one of their favorite trails for family photos.  The kids had a great time and I love their goofy having fun faces – you can see how close they are.  Beautiful family – inside and out.
