Jaxon {dashing}

I chose the word dashing to describe 1 year old Jaxon for two reasons... as an adjective, it's pretty obvious that this is kid has some dashing good looks. Check out those big brown eyes and his adorable smile. And as a verb, dashing is the perfect word to describe how this kid moves. It was seriously one of the most challenging shoots I've ever had simply because I could barely keep up with him! (note to self: must get to gym and train before next toddler shoot). But all in all, I had an absolute blast capturing some images of  Jaxon and his family to celebrate his first birthday. CONGRATS again to Carie and David for being the big winners of my portrait session giveaway. Thank you for participating in the contest, and I hope you enjoy your photos! :)


Also, a BIG THANKS to Lindsay Combs of LC's Sweet Treats for baking us the cutest little cake for Jaxon's cake smash. Shoot her an email at lcombs12@yahoo.com if you're interested ordering a one of a kind cake, cupcakes or her delectable cake pops. YUM!!!

Silhouette

I am a member of the Rock the Shot Forum (http://www.rocktheshotforum.com/) - a great resource for photographers. This month their photo challenge is silhouettes. The picture below was taken during my photo shoot with Nathan and Ashley. I love that it captures the beautiful colors of our Arizona sunset as well as a sweet, intimate moment between this couple. Definitely one of my favorite silhouettes to date!
