Harper 8 months, Owen 28 months. This pretty much sums up their personalities. ~cameron

It was my fourth wedding anniversary on June 17th and Style Me Pretty featured my very own wedding to my husband on our anniversary.  Here is a screenshot.  Visit the blog to see more photos of my own Flagstaff rustic event.  We did a 30's-40's Hollywood movie star theme and asked our guests to dress up!  It was a blast! ~Cameron

This little personal shoot "Owen's second haircut," reminds me how big my boy is getting.  I remember taking this photo so I would actually BE in a photo with my son.  It turned out cute.  This is one of my favorite mirror shots I've taken.  If you want me to document something like this of your family, give us a call.  I love to shoot events that you've got planned for your kids: birthdays, haircuts, first day of school...playgroup -- bath time, etc. 

I can hardly believe my boy is two years old.  I hate to say that it goes fast, because to me each day seems slow but two years have passed since I delivered our boy and that does seem incredible. This birthday was a bit of a whirlwind. We decided to have a little pot-luck party over at our house and it was really hard to be a hostess. Harper seemed just a tad fussier and more needy during the party than usual but Owen seemed to have a great time.  He kept saying all day "I want ma cake" or "I want to eat ma cake."  Finally the time came when we sang the birthday song and he just kept lunging for the cake -- mouth first.  Special thanks to Katrina of Sedona Bride who, stepped in like the great friend she is and shot some photos on my camera for me. It's so great to have a friend whom you can just hand the camera to and say, "can you shoot this?" (and KNOW they can handle it). Sometimes my life as a photojournalist is hard because you want to photograph everything but then you never get to participate!  Yesterday I was "wearing" Harper in the Moby Wrap and it proved too hard to play photojournalist at the same time. Enjoy the photos of the kids. ~cameron~
 

You might remember Kate, my sister, and her now husband Norm from an engagement session we did in Oct. 2008.  They got tied the knot on Oct. 10, 2009 and Katrina Wallace and Andrew Mejia of Sedona Bride  photographed their wedding.  Kate wanted me to be a guest at her event and it turns out I was 9 months pregnant so it was best I enjoyed the time with my family.  Jamelle was already booked too, so Kate asked "who should I hire for the photography?" Ah the question every bride must answer.  Next thing out of her mouth, "I'm on a budget."  Does this sound familiar?  Well, I encouraged Kate to consider her budget, trim the fat, and make room for what she really wanted ie: prioritize.  She knew she wanted great photography and would be really disappointed if she didn't have that sooo she didn't compromise on that. She knew she could get a location for free, and she knew she was an expert shopper and could find a gown for less (she got her dress at Neimen's in Phoenix for under $800).  After that, Kate decided to have Thornager's do a BBQ to you style buffet, they constructed their own dance floor, etc. etc.  Kate hired Kim Duncan of kD eventDesigns to style and 'figure the rest out.'  Kim, is one of my favorite wedding vendors because she always goes above and beyond to make it all perfect for her clients -- she helped Kate with her budget and was able to make Kate's chic county fair theme come to life as you will see in the photos.  Thanks Katrina for letting me feature your lovely work on my blog.  If you don't already know, Katrina (sedona bride) remains one of my oldest and closest friends in the industry.  We have grown our businesses together and I was so tickled that she was able to shoot Kate's event.  She and Andrew knocked it out of the ballpark!! She is one of the TOP photographers in Arizona for sure and one of the finest in the country as well.
