Luisa

Meet our daughter Luisa. Yes, I know most people start out with babies, but not Curtis and I. When it comes to parenting we skipped straight to adolescence. Not that we ever planned it this way but it just kind of happened.

One of Curtis' friends told us that there was an exchange student supposed to be coming here for her senior year of high school but her host family for the year fell through and she asked if we would consider taking her. I said "Sure!" and Curtis looked at me in shock: "Sure?!!? Are you crazy?" Me: "Why not? :)" And so one week later our daughter arrived. I wish babies were that fast too.

Janetth

The day after my birthday I met up with Janetth for her senior session. She's just one of those girls who smiles easily and is easy to get to know.

We started her session in front of the Vans store:

Then she changed into her fabulous Betsy Johnson prom dress:

Matching toe nails? Yes, please!

One of Janetth's favorite things to do is to draw (and she's really good!)This one makes me smile:

One of her other favorite things? Her iPod:

Another past-time? Looking gorgeous:

Janetth, you and you are mom are so wonderful. Have fun at prom and stay in touch. I can't wait to hear all the great thing you'll be doing!

Grace

I got to photograph this gorgeous 2010 senior a few weeks back and we had so much fun!

Amazing make-up by Celestial Williams.

Hair by Blossom Salon and I got to play stylist for a day and fell in love with all the cute stuff I got to pick out. I still need to get back to Blossom to buy this bracelet!

Grace, you are amazing. Thank you so much!

Valeria

This afternoon I met up with Valeria for her senior photos. She's a high school senior at Desert Vista graduating in just a few months. As you all know, I LOVE photographing seniors and Valeria did not disappoint. Good times, for sure! Thanks, Valeria!

Candace

Earlier today I shot Candace's senior portraits and we had so much fun!

Candace is such a sweetheart. She's really into photography and wanted some "cute, girly, frilly, pictures as well as some graffiti backgrounds" and I think we totally rocked it! We still have one more part to her "Totally You" session and I can't wait to spend some more time with you and your family, Candace!

Yes, I know your hair is a little out of place, but I still LOVE this picture! :)

Once again, Celestial Williams did an amazing job with make-up. Thanks, Celestial!

Jodi Hatfield did Candace's hair and you can find all the cute outfits Candace is wearing at Blossom in downtown Mesa.
