Taysen

Taysen was just 2 days old when I shot these photos in the hospital room with his parents. Oh, that beautiful baby skin! Getting to be by such new babies is my favorite thing! He was sleepy the whole time and didn't fuss at all. So sweet. Congrats to his lucky parents!

Carla's Clan

It's so fun to get to meet friends' whole families. Carla brought her clan out to the Scottsdale Arts Center last weekend for some really fun and casual family pictures. They were a fun bunch, and we lucked out and missed all the rain and wind from earlier in the day. She doesn't seem old enough to have her first granddaughter on the way though. Congrats Carla and family!

Spring Family Picture Event on the Temple Grounds!

Just in time for Easter! I thought I would try something new this year, and do family portraits at the LDS Mesa Temple grounds while it is closed during the Easter Pagent timeframe. All the details are on the flyer below, just click it to enlarge. Here's a great opportunity to spice up a Temple picture for your home, or your Family Proclamation. LDS or not, the temple grounds are BEAUTIFUL this time of year, and I can do portrait sittings without the actual Temple in them too for anyone who prefers it. Just email or call me to reserve your spot! info@susancarrphotography.com (480)820-0832

Amy & Aaron

Ahhh, back to blogging, I've been so bad at it lately. Here's my most recent engagement photo shoot. We did it down in Gilbert, and the sky was amazing and cloudy. So many great colors were out, and we tried to use it all. I got to photograph some friends, Amy and Aaron, who recently got engaged. They are so naturally romantic, I hardly had to give any direction. Aren't they just the cutest couple?!

A fun idea

About a year ago I was looking at my walls of pictures in my home (I don't think you can ever have enough pictures! I love going into people's homes and seeing all the shots from when they were little kids. ) and I was having problems fitting my Family Proclamation on the wall. So I came up with the idea to overlay it over a picture of my family, and I LOVED IT! I have done it for some of my LDS clients since, laying it over family, wedding and even my vintage-temple pictures and it really brings the words to life! So if you don't have the means to do it on your own, I can do it for you. If you want to do one of my beautiful (if I do say so myself) temple pictures (see my shop at http://www.pseuzyn.etsy.com/ )there is no extra cost; and if you have an existing picture that you want to use, for just $15 I will format it for you! Email me or call me for details. info@susancarrphotography.com

It's been a CRAZY holiday season...

...but I have loved every minute of it! My annual holiday picture event went amazing with more than a dozen families on that day alone. I have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to blog about them, but I will post some of the holiday pictures after the new year so it won't spoil anyone's Christmas cards.

I had some sittings of course that weren't just for holiday cards, and so I thought I would share some from one my latest high school senior shoots. This is Jason, who was visiting from Utah. He is such a ham, which you can see in his pictures.
