Taite is 3! | Scottsdale Children’s Photographer

I love this little guy like he is my own . . . oh wait that’s because he is!

Don’t let that sweet, sweet face fool you!  There is a H.U.G.E. personality in that little body.

As far as kids go, I think 3 is one of my favorite ages to photograph!  But as a mother I have seen him change in the past year from a toddler to a little boy and I know soon enough a big boy!

Thanks for looking,

Jillian | Gilbert Senior Photographer

Heading into that last year of high school . . . making plans for the next phase of your life . . .

This girl has got so much going for her!  Not only is she GORGEOUS, but she is also a talented musician and has some wicked smarts about her!

She wants to be a Veterinarian and I have no doubt she will accomplish that and so much more.

Isn’t this saxophone amazing?!  It’s from the 1930′s!

If your interested in booking your Senior Session for the upcoming 2011 school year shoot me an e-mail!

Thanks for looking,

Summer Lovin | Arizona Senior Photographer

I know things have been quiet here on the home front.  It seems like the summer has just flown by and now school is getting ready to start!

I’m squeezing in as much time with my crew as I can before it is back to a schedule and bed times and responsibilities.:(

We have been having lots of fun making tents to watch movies, taking trips to the library, and cooling off at the splash park.

We have one last hurrah planned to escape the monsoon heat and humidity up in Pinetop!

You will see more of this gorgeous girl soon, but just one for now!

What is your favorite summer activity or getaway!

Thanks for looking,

Wyatt 7 months | Arizona Baby Photographer

fresh . . . natural . . . half pint

that about sums him up!

I dare you to look at these and not smile!

I know I will return to these again and again whenever I’m feeling a little down for an instant lift.

This adorable hat and diaper cover comes from the ultra talented Christine of Monkey C Baby!  See her shop here.

I don’t really have a favorite stage.  I love them all, but something magical happens when a baby can sit up on their own.

He has two teeth, smiles and laughs all the time, prefers to feed himself, and is growing up way too fast!

Thanks for looking,

All about baby FAQ | Arizona newborn photographer

Tracy asked, When is the best time to get my babies pictures taken?

There are so many fleeting moments in that first year of your babies life.  It feels like you put one baby to bed at night and the next morning they have already changed.  Here are a few key points of development that are more photogenic than others.

  • Newborn, up to 2-weeks old.  This stage is all about capturing the newness of life.  Remembering all their tiny, delicate features and the newly formed bond between baby and parent.
  • Sitting unassisted, usually around 6 to 8 months.  This is such a fun age to document.  Your baby is now smiling and their personality is coming out without them crawling away from you.
  • First birthday, 10 to 14 months.  When your child can stand, even just by holding onto furniture, they are bright-eyed and excited, yet still manageable because they aren’t super mobile yet.  This is the perfect opportunity to do a smash cake session.

Have you heard about our Bebe Plan?  It includes each of these milestones and some added bonuses.  Definitely the best option for babies first year.

Julie asked, When should I schedule my newborn session?

You definitely want to schedule while you are still pregnant.  To get the sleepy newborn shots it is best to photograph your baby no older than 2 weeks.  Let me know your due date and we set a tentative date and then adjust as needed.  As we all know babies come when they want to!

To schedule your newborn session e-mail me at info@erikasnow.com

Jennifer asked, What is your favorite way to display newborn pictures?

This is a tough one as I have so many favorites.  I love a gallery wrapped canvas or a custom album you can hold in your hands and flip through, but I think my newest favorite is the “Crib Frame”.  It is a 6 inch thick frame that fills the entire space of your crib!  I love that it makes a statement and can be customized to coordinate with your nursery!  So adorable!

I hope this helps answer some of your questions!  If you have more send them my way, I make an effort to answer every one and you never know you may be featured in my next FAQ:)

Here is a peek at what is coming up next!
