Welcome Baby Aidan!!

Meet the newest member of my extended family, Aidan James Shea! He is only one week old and has quite the head of hair! He is an especially welcome addition after my sister had 3 girls, so needless to say...Daddy is looking forward to some "guy" time with this little boy! After a busy week in and out of the hospital, he is home with bruised feet from being poked and hopefully gets to be home for good now =) I was privelaged to be at his birth, so I took the opportunity to take lots of photos of all the expressions when he made his debut! It was especially touching to have his big sister Marissa there, she was very emotional and super cute! Here are a few photos and a slideshow of some of his first images from last week!
This is my sister Stephannie looking great the night before having Aidan!

Dad's first look at his baby boy!

A sweet moment with the new family...probably hard to notice the tear on Marissa's cheek, very sweet!

Flagstaff Fall Festival

Today we drove up to Flagstaff in an attempt to get some cooler weather and some great shots with the few trees that change colors in Arizona!! I was a bit disappointed to see that of the Aspens we had to choose from, which weren't many, lots of the leaves had already fallen!! Bummer! At any rate, we went to the Flagstaff "Autumn in the Aspen's" festival and had a good time. It was only their second year, so it was a smaller scale event, but the kids had a blast and didn't notice a lack of activities compared to Schnepf Farms where we usually go this time of year. Here are some pictures with some of my family who joined us for the day trip.
Two of the cutest kids...

Erin and Will's Engagement Session

Erin is my GORGEOUS cousin! She and her fiancee' Will are getting married in San Diego December 1st and last week we went out to do some engagement photos for them. They both photograph very well and I am blessed to get to photograph their wedding in California. Sadly it takes weddings and other events to get us all together, but I love them still the same =) Here are some of my favorite images from their shoot.

I love how cute they are all cuddled up together in these shots.

You can definitely tell how much Will loves her when he holds her close and can't seem to wipe the smile from his face!

David and Jennifer Engagement Session

If there was ever a mold for a dream couple to work with for a wedding, these two people created that mold! Meet David and Jennifer Bosen, recently married in the Mesa Arizona Temple in September. They are seriously the most laid back, easy going people to work with and incredibly good at interacting with each other which makes getting great photos of them SUPER EASY for me! I LOVED working with them and their families and will have some wedding images posted soon. Here are some of the images from their engagement session...
Here is a fun, colorful wall we found...

David is very cute loving on Jennifer

I love this shot with the architecture behind them.

Another example of how cute and in love they are!!
