I had the privilege of photographing the newest addition to our extended family, baby Autumn Elisa, who was born in October. Yes, I am finally getting to all my updates; you all know how busy the holidays got! Autumn’s mommy and daddy are my husband’s cousin, Stephanie, and her husband, Adam. What a gorgeous baby girl, with beautiful blue eyes and perfectly kissable lips – I instantly fell in love! We had a blast during our session, and sweet big brother Nolan was so proud of his sister. Thank you, Stephanie and Adam, for allowing me to capture your family’s precious moments. I love ya guys! xoxo, Dusty

{ Alvarado Family }

As the Holidays have come and gone I am still trying to catch up on my blog! I had so many wonderful families this year and do not want to leave anyone out! So thank you all for your patience I promise to have my blog updated by the end of the month.

The Alvarado Family has been clients of mine long before their little family of four began and friends even longer, it feels like yesterday they had me come to Casa Grande to photograph their first little girl Addie and now she is grown into such a big girl full of personality! I had the joy of photographing her through out her baby and toddler years and now look forward to photographing her little sister Evie as she grows into a big girl too! Every year we laugh about how the session is so chaotic and Jacque and Richard always wonder if I got any pictures that turned out, and I always assure them that OF COURSE I DID The girls were so cute in their dresses and gave me some super BIG smiles and of course the Love between Jacque and Richard shines through no matter what the situation!

You guys are such an amazingly beautiful family and I LOVE you all so much thank you for always believing in me and sharing my talent with all you know and love as well! Thank you for being such amazing friends

xoxo Dusty

{ The Hammond Family }

I had a blast photographing the Hammond Family! We met a while back as next door neighbors. Their youngest, Meg, and and Benji are only a week apart, so, naturally, they just love each other. Jessica has taught me so many things about cooking over the years, and for that I couldn’t be more grateful! She is like a sister to me, so planning playdates for the kids is extra special, since I also get to spend time with my dear friend. She and her family are amazing, and make my life so much easier, always supporting and encouraging me! I love you guys! xoxo, Dusty

What a beautiful couple! It feels like just yesterday I was photographing Bob and Sylvia’s wedding, which just happened to fall on the most romantic day of the year…Valentines Day! Their happiness and love for one another shows, even in the way they simply look at each other. We had a blast during our Christmas session at South Mountain. What a beautiful, perfect day for a beautiful, perfect couple. I am so blessed to photograph not only you, but your entire family as well. Thank you guys for allowing me to share in your family’s memories and cherished moments. xoxo, Dusty

I had so much fun photographing the Fischer family again! We had a blast at Saguaro Ranch Park for their Christmas photos and, although Tristan just wanted to chase the roosters and Aidan wanted nothing to do with me or my camera, we got some adorable shots! These guys are just too cute, and I am so honored to be a part of your family’s memories! xoxo, Dusty

Welcome to the world, little Brooke, born October 26th, weighing 6 lb 14 oz! Congratulations, Zach and Natalie and big brothers, Noah and Ezra, on the newest addition to your beautiful family! It was just too cute, hearing the boys call her “Their Brookie.” She was such an amazing sleeper for the entire shoot, which made my job a little easier. I had so much fun seeing you all again and getting to hold her. Thank you, as always, for allowing me to photograph your family, sharing in your love and laughter. xoxo, Dusty

Congratulations to my long-time friends, Brittany and Brandon, on the birth of little Griffith, born on October 21st, healthy and strong! I am so blessed to be able to photograph the love between you and your kiddos as your family grows. Your boys are just beautiful, and it was so sweet to see Lincoln’s love for his baby brother, as he just showered him with kisses. Thank you for our friendship, and for the chance to share such special moments with you guys! Love ya! xoxo, Dusty

Thank you to my newest clients, Betsy Lowry and little Miss Maddie for allowing me to capture your memories this Holiday Season! I had a blast meeting you and getting to know you both. Maddie was an absolute doll; her bright blue eyes just lit up as she rode the train and enjoyed lollipops at Anthem Park. I hope you girls have a very Merry Christmas! xoxo, Dusty

I had the pleasure of photographing the Currier family a few weeks ago. It was so great to see them and meet little Max! I can’t believe how big Lucy is getting; she is such a great big sister, and is going to be amazing with little baby #3! We had such a fun session, and, the good thing about our warm Phoenix weather…we even got to cool off in the splash pad at the end of our session! Thank you guys for having me photograph your beautiful family again. And congratulations your new little one, who should be here any day now! xoxo, Dusty
