Family Moments

Posted on December 31, 2009

This family found me all the way in California, wanting portraits at Slide Rock since they would all be there together this year.  After arriving to a huge “CLOSED” sign, we ended up a few more miles up the road at West Fork.  After a short walk (on snow and ice) we began our session only to have it begin to snow.  Sounds almost like a recipe for disaster, doesn’t it?  But not with this amazing family!  They smiled right through it – laughed, joked, and drank hot cocoa!  It was a real pleasure to spend the morning with them.

They were so fun, I actually considered the joys of a bigger family… for a minute or two!  ;o)  But who wouldn’t?  These two look like they have thoroughly enjoyed it!

It still just makes me smile to see that snow all over their hair.  What troopers they all were!!!

Thank you ALL for coming out!  I truly had a great time freezing with you!  ;o)  I will be sending the link to your full gallery soon!

Happy New Year, everyone!!!

Shy is just as cute!

On Saturday I was able to meet up with this super cute family whose kids are the same age as my own!  We had fun just running around the park for an hour!  =)

Their youngest wasn’t too fond of my camera being shoved in his face -

Not that I can really blame him.  But I love all the shy shots of him just the same!!!  Don’t worry, we made sure he had some fun!

His Daddy is quite the tosser!!!

Big brother was so fun, and ever willing to smile and laugh at my goofy jokes!

He really made my day!!!  But, with a family like this, who wouldn’t be smiling ear to ear?!?

Thanks for coming out B family!  Hope you enjoy your sneak peek – there are many, many more coming at you very soon!

Brrrr!!!

This family was so great, they braved one of Phoenix’s rare 50 degree days to come out and have their portraits done!  We had a great time, dispite the cold!  Their girls are just precious:

And I loved how they always smiled so sweetly and looked right into the camera!  Every photographer’s dream!!!  =D

There are many more to come – so keep an eye out!!!

Early morning

Posted on October 25, 2009

This Saturday was a fun-filled photo day, and I started it out bright and early with this adorable family!  We had a great time enjoying the cool morning and watching all the birds at Freestone Park – even the ones who were chasing us!  =)  I’m not posting any of the family shots because I don’t want to ruin any Christmas card secrets – so you will have to wait until they have given me the OK to post any others!  Until then, check out this super sweet Daddy-daughter moment!

That just melts my heart!

Oh yes, and I am head-over-heels for this little guy…

– but who wouldn’t be, right?!?  His eyes are not touched up here, they are just really that amazing!

And, what has to be one of my new favorite shots:

His Daddy wasn’t holding anything back with these tosses!

Thank you for getting up early and coming out on your crazy busy day, B Family!  Many more are on their way soon!!!

A perfect fit

I had the pleasure of photographing two long time friends tonight.  Can I just say I have the best job ever when I get to just hang out with fun people for an hour or two, how awesome is that?!?  They have been married for four years now, and having seen them together since day one – I have to say they are truly in sync with each other.

We had a little too much fun in downtown tonight.  We were asked not to take photos in front of a certain historical building – unless we made a donation.  In lieu of digging through our purses for change we opted to just move on.

Meanwhile, we grabbed a shot for this awesome couple’s future album cover.  Not sure what instrument she is going to play, but we are ready once she picks one up!  ;o)

These two are just a blast!  And they compliment each other just perfectly, while joking or relaxing – can’t you tell?

I just love that!  And this…

Then we ended our evening with a skip around Heritage Square!  And this was even their idea!!!

Totally in step.  Why am I even surprised?

Thanks the the fun afternoon A&P!  I can’t wait to show you the rest!!!

Already three months old!

Today, I had the pleasure of photographing this tiny beauty!

Anyone recognize her?  It’s little London, the very first baby that I photographed the birth for!  This sweet family will always hold a place near and dear to my heart for allowing me to use them as “guinea pigs” for my birth photography.  AND, get this – they are first time parents!  They understand so much more than most first timers, they could foresee that one day they wouldn’t really remember their hospital experience!  Because you don’t.

I’ll get on that soapbox a different time.

Back to the pictures, because these two are obviously smitten with their baby girl.

And I think she might be catching on.  =)

But, who wouldn’t be smitten over this gorgeousness?!?

This location was a last minute decision for these photos, but I was thrilled to find out that these two first met at a restaurant just around the corner!  While we no longer had great light when we walked past it, a few shots were necessary!

I hope you enjoy your peek, H family!  There will be much more headed your way soon.  Thank you for such a fun morning!

Sneak Peek

Posted on September 26, 2009

This super sweet family is very dear to me, and I was honored to be able to hang out with them this morning and play! She was joking around that they could be an Old Navy advertisement, but I think they have the look for it!

Aren’t they gorgeous?!? And I had to just throw one more of this angel in here – she was so sweet and did a great job today!

Thanks for coming out bright and early H family! I hope you like your sneak peeks — I will have more for you really soon!

Happy weekend, everyone!

It may seem too soon…

… but the holidays will be here before you know it!

This will give you a couple months to plan everything out. There are only a few sessions available, so contact me soon at cbphotography@clairebeeler.com!

Back in business!

Posted on July 30, 2009

The contact section is working again thanks to the miracle of Gmail and the iPhone!  Now that we are back in the saddle…  I have a few open session times for Friday evenings and Saturdays in August and September, so if you are interested submit your request quick and we will have some fun!

Many people have asked me about Holiday Mini-sessions, and they will be available in October.  I will also offer custom card design to those that are interested.  More on that soon!

For now, I will leave you with a few images from a summer shoot of my girls.  Have a great weekend!

Technical difficulties

Posted on July 21, 2009

Well, the set-backs have begun! I have not been able to receive emails or information from the Contact form on this site. Ack! So if you have tried to reach me, I apologize for appearing to ignore you!!! Until we are able to resolve the issues, please email me at clairebeeler@gmail.com or call 602-295-9890.

Just a small hiccup, I am hopeful that we will be in true working order by the end of the week. Thanks everyone!
