Project 365 // January // Phoenix Family Lifestyle Photography

Once again I've decided to do a photo a day for the entire year. I'll be documenting my personal life for this project - mostly family related moments. I do this for my family, for my daughter, for myself - to remember the little, everyday fleeting moments that are so important to me. I want to look back at these images recalling my daughter's little toes or my husband's amazing laugh. I will be posting here once a month with our daily images. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Sloane is TWO!

We celebrated our sweet baby girl's second birthday in a big way with a 3-day fun-filled weekend followed by a birthday party the following weekend. We can't seem to stop celebrating our little love! And that's okay because she deserves to be celebrated every second of every day. Here are a few fun photos from our celebrations. Happy Birthday, sweetness! 

23 months is...

Yesterday sweet Sloane became a 23 month old. We are one month away from her 2nd year. Wow. I want to slow the clocks, but at the same time I'm so excited for every new milestone and every new adventure that lay ahead for this amazing little girl. Today, we spent a quiet morning watching airplanes, playing peek-a-boo, examining flowers, twigs, & rocks, and cuddling when loud trucks drove by. 

Oh, I love the rainy nights....

“You're growing up. And rain sort of remains on the branches of a tree that will someday rule the Earth. And it's good that there is rain. It clears the month of your sorry rainbow expressions, and it clears the streets of the silent armies... so we can dance.” - Jim Carroll.

Welcome to the first blog post on my new website! This blog will be a home for both personal stories and client stories. It had been months, literally, since I had been under a rainy sky and I was about to shrivel up like a prune. I crave rain. Finally, there was a change in the air. Change is good. Rain is good. Both excite and energize me, put a little more pep in my step, make me feel alive!  When I saw those first few drops coming down, my husband and I ran outside with our daughter, Sloane. She was in heaven - dancing and splashing around. It was a perfect moment. She loves the rain just as much as her mama does. The storm passed too quickly, but we sure enjoyed it while it lasted.
