P. Family Sneak Peek - Vignettes Photography, Tucson's on-location family photographer

This family photo shoot was so special. The eldest daughter was home (briefly) from college, and the twins are graduating seniors (see their sneak peek from a couple weeks ago) and will be heading off their seperate ways in the fall. This family is growing up and experiencing lots of change, so it was a joy for me to capture some family portraits.

I love this spontaneous one, when one of the brothers told everyone to hop on his back for a sibling piggy-back ride. Ha!

P. family, you are beautiful, and I have been honored to know you and watch your family grow up since I was a girl. I'm so glad we got to do this session in the midst of your busy lives! Many more sweet images to come....

Miss K. Sneak Peek

Congratulations to this graduating senior - Miss K.! She is a beautiful lady, and we got some GOR-GEOUS shots of her. Below, I could not decide which photos I wanted to feature in the blog - color or b/w. I usually have a clear preference one way or another, but I kept going back and forth on this one. I finally just decided to feature them both and see what your preference is! What do you think? (Leave me a comment and let me know. =))

It was really quite windy here, so Miss K. had to lean her head against the tree just to keep her hair from blowing up and over into her face! She makes it look so natural....

Here, with her sister....

Thank you for a great session, Miss K.! Best wishes as you finish out your senior year!

Some Changes - Vignettes Photography, Tucson's on-location photographer

Hello, my fabulous clients! I wanted to drop you a note letting you know that my website is getting consolidated into one place, where all of my info, galleries, and client galleries will be available. As this is happening, my website and email may be down for a bit. Please know that it will be back up shortly! If you send me an email and don't hear back from me in the next day or two, please re-send it to be sure that I have received it. Thank you for your patience as I work through these brief changes! And now, because I love sharing images on this blog, here are a couple photos from my pastor's ordination service a couple weeks ago. This guy and his family have been mentors and dear friends of my family for many years, and it was an honor and a blessing to get to capture some photos of this special celebration. (By the way, I LOVE the block with the letters H-O-P-E on the four sides. The name of our church is Hope Community Church. The block was awesome. Way to go, whoever made that!) And here he is with his youngest son. Those two are crack-ups together. =)

Congratulations on being ordained as an official pastor, Randy B.! We love you and your family!

3 Siblings Sneak Peek - Vignettes Photography, Tucson's on-location children's photographer

This sweet family squeezed in a session just before they had to move to the mid-west! I was so glad we fit it in, because these three kiddos were absolute sweethearts. (Can you believe how awesome those bright spring colors look together?!)


You know how sometimes you can just tell when a child is truly sweet? All three of these siblings were that way. And they all had great smiles!

Glad I had the chance to meet you, M. Family! Best wishes as you get settled in your new home. I hope these images bring warm memories of your time in Tucson!

The Great Outdoors Senior Sneak Peek - Vignettes Photography, Tucson's on-location photographer for high school seniors

This beautiful senior put up with a hazy, windy day for her photo shoot...not that you'd ever know it from her relaxed smile here!

We planned this shoot for locations that boasted a more natural outdoorsy look, including flowers... (love the greens and yellows in this one...)

I am honored to have had a part in your senior year celebration, Miss G.! I hope you love your sneak peek portraits...there are many more gorgeous ones to come!

Little Girls and the M. Family - Vignettes Photography, Tucson's on-location family photographer

This extended family photo shoot held a special place in my heart for a couple of reasons. First, it included my brother and sister-in-law and two beautiful nieces (aren't they such a pretty family?!).... AND, because my sister-in-law's family is so completely sweet, and I kind of feel like they are part of my extended family.

The colors they chose turned out so lovely with the location we shot at....

It has been fun to see all the cousins in this family grow and change as we've done photo sessions over the years.

Thanks for another wonderful family session, M. fam! I can't wait to show you all the beautiful shots we got. (I especially love the ones we took at the end with the sisters...sooo darling.)
