Anytime I get to make a princess' dreams come true I am in heaven!  As the mother of two little girls, I am all too immersed in anything princess, especially if it is a Disney Princess.

When Bri's mom and I started talking about what we wanted to do with her 5th birthday session we both got super excited at the thought of a Moana themed set.  It just so happened that I live near water and it also just so happened that my husband built a pretty epic canoe.  Asking him to put the canoe on the golf cart and transfer it to the water was something I wish I could have recorded.  

Away to the water we went...Bri skillfully plotted out the way and with Hei Hei closeby we journeyed through this first portion of her session.  All eyes were on our crew in the water.  (Note:  Bri was never unattended in the canoe.  If you are embarking upon anything that could pose a danger to a child, always have a spotter close by.)  You bet we were all singing (group of 7 of us) all the Moana favorites!

Moana briefly became Bri once again so that we could take photos of her being...Bri :)  She got to dance in the sunset before turning once again into another favorite princess...Princess Belle.  Sometimes a princess has so many options it is best to display them all.  

Hands down another favorite session to put in the books!!  Is your child celebrating a birthday?  Let's make a memorable, one-of-a-kind session for them!  Contact me to book your session today!

TWINS!  A double blessing both to mom and dad, as well as to me.  This little duo made photographing twins in the studio a breeze.  

As you can see, sister was happy to cuddle with her brother.  Mom wanted to veer away from the traditional pink and blue combo, and I love the direction that we went.  Grays, pinks, silver and gold were perfect! 

And you better believe we did the most epic baby-in-a-helmet shot...how's TWO babies in daddy's helmet.  (sidenote: the babies-in-a-helmet image is a composite.)

Beautiful family, beautiful babies!!

 Are you expecting twins?  I would love to celebrate your little miracles with you!  Please contact me for more information about getting on the calendar...it's never to early to secure your session!

Long ago, before there was Scrappy Doodles Photography, there was Air Force 2nd Lieutenant Maria Lamas.  She was assigned to Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma where she would start her Air Force family well before starting the family she has today.  

The Corrells are part of that family.  We were single "kids" hanging out enjoying life.  The great thing about family is that even with the distance you stay connected, whether it's through social media or old fashioned letters.    Fast forward to the present and over time we have both expanded our families and what a joy it was to not only get to spend time with them and catch up in person for a change, but to be asked to take their family photos.  

They have adorable kids (that get along marvelously with mine) and so much love.  Little Miss Ava is quite the princess and loves to be sparkly and stylish...just like one of my little divas.  After their photos, we moms were entertained by our girls dancing and singing and sparkling.  What a way to wrap up a family session.  

I say this all the time...the beauty of the Air Force, or really any military branch, is that no matter where you are there will always be a new family member that you get to add to your family, and they don't even have to be another military family.
