    Quarantine delayed this newborn session by a few m Quarantine delayed this newborn session by a few months but it was well worth the wait! I’m so grateful to be shooting again and capturing these moments for my clients. #aznewbornphotographer #aznewborn #azfamilyphotographer #azfamily #scottsdalemoms #azmoms #azmomlife #gilrbertmom #scottsdalenewbornphotographer
    When we moved in Emi thought it was the cruelest j When we moved in Emi thought it was the cruelest joke imaginable... who was this annoying little aunt always pulling on her, stealing her toys... you know, basically just being a little sister. She seriously would scream “SHE ESCAPED!” every time they were free in the same room. We’ve come a long way in 6 months. She’s still a great stand in for a little sister and routinely tackles Emi... but there are precious moments like this too. Not everything about quarantine is bad. #azmom #covid19 #quarantinelife #azmomlife #gilbertmom #pocketaunt #azphotographer #thisishowiquarantine #authenticfamilymoments #thedocumentarymovement
    Flailing chubby legs determined to go wherever her Flailing chubby legs determined to go wherever her big niece does. Our yard isn’t finished but we desperately needed a safe outdoor play area for two active toddlers. This little tikes “castle” (as Emi calls it) was dirty and neglected but we cleaned it up and threw it on the back patio with an outdoor rug for a makeshift playground. We’ve been out here every day since. #thisishowiquarantine #savemysanity #covid19 #azquarantine #azmom #momographer #authenticfamilymoments #mmnelsonfam
    Allow me to introduce you to my secretary. Her nam Allow me to introduce you to my secretary. Her name is Emi and she likes to schedule in lots of snack and play time. In fact, if she had it her way I’d never get any work done. She’s my favorite model and almost always willing to say cheese. She always asks to see the pictures and videos I take through out the day, especially if she’s in them, and likes to take a few of her own. I can’t wait to buy her her first camera someday!⁣ ⁣ 10 things you didn’t know about Emi:⁣ 1. Favorite TV show - “The Lion Guard”⁣ 2. Favorite Color - “Blue, cuz you like blue too.”⁣ 3. Favorite Toy - “My Castle” (Little People Princess Castle)⁣ 4. Favorite thing to do - “Play and Weed Outside”... guess who does the playing and who does the weeding.⁣ 5. Favorite Book - “My Princess Book” (5 minute stories, princess edition)⁣ 6. Favorite Food - “Chicken Nuggets”⁣ 7. Favorite thing to wear - “dresses, dress up dresses”⁣ 8. What do you want to be When You Grow Up? “A Doctor Monkey”⁣ 9. Who’s your favorite person to play with? “You, Mommy”⁣ 10. What is your favorite thing to do with daddy? “Play puzzles”⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #phoenixmoms #gilbertmoms #arizonamoms #mesamoms #scottsdalemoms #azmomlife #phoenixmom #mesamom #scottsdalemom #arizonamom #azmom #azphotographer #arizonaphotographer #gilbertphotographer #phoenixphotographer #scottsdalephotographer #azphotography #arizonaphotography #arizonalife #azlife #mesaphotographer #queencreekphotographer #eastvalley #eastvalleyphotographer #arizona #thisisusthursday #thesearemypeople
    Huge shout out to @rowantree_az and @lorilefleur f Huge shout out to @rowantree_az and @lorilefleur for making my floral vision for this session a reality! When we talked on the phone I could tell immediately that Lori is a master in her field. We drew inspiration from a lot of different places (most of it bridal) and somehow she took it all in and gave us something PERFECT for this boho maternity session. “Like she’d just picked a bouquet of wild flowers.” Lori you nailed it! Thank you so much!!!

Time to hit Pinterest to figure out what we'll be doing tomorrow... and the next day... and the day after that. Don't worry! I'll be sure to share my findings if you share with me! What fun things have you been doing with your kids since this semi-quarantine has started?
