When it’s still more than 100 degrees in the valley, it was sure amazing to escape here for a photo session…

And then get to photograph this darling face…

My hubby even kept me company on the ride to and from this beautiful area of Flagstaff!  He knows how direction deficient I am and the fact that I might have ended up in Utah driving solo.  Good man I’ve got!

I practically wanted to do cartwheels through this amazing field of sunflowers!  You can’t help but be happy just looking at it!  Good find J & H!

Have you ever seen a kid more happy to eat an apple??

Jack’s gorgeous momma…

Thanks for inviting me up to the nice cool weather to photograph your beautiful family!!

Joyfully, Erin

Most children have a special toy, blanket, little something that is their comfort and snuggly.  Meet BunBun… Ella’s snuggly.  I’m so glad she brought him for the photos because I imagine she carries BunBun all over the place at her sweet age of 2.  Part of childhood photographs are capturing children as who they are and what they love at this moment.  So thanks for coming along BunBun!

And sleepy, sweet baby Brenna.  I think she has the most beautiful skin!

Ella’s mom had these great baby doll dresses…

Playing dress-up in momma’s hats…

And a big gummy grin…

New favorite family shot…

Thanks for inviting me to photograph your beautiful family!
