Everybody Loves Raymond

I remember when Ray was born to my cousin and his wife. I can't believe that was over 18 years ago! Ray is one of the sweetest parts of our family. He is graduating this month and we are all so proud of him and his parents. Ray is the kindest 18 year old I've ever met and I believe it's because he's been surrounded by loving parents and grandparents throughout the years.

Ray~
I'm so proud of you. We love you so much. You have grown up to be such a fine young man. We're looking forward to your graduation party. I bet you'll be sure there's music and dancing.
Love you tons,
Jaime













Ray is never too far from some piece of musical or electronical equipment. This is his favorite, DeWalt:




Some of Ray's favorite people (his grandparents)are also some of my favorite people. They've been a big part in both our upbringings and have helped to shape both our lives. We're blessed to know them.

The Twin

I lucked out and got some business from one of my last client's twin sister. She happened to be in town and needed Sr. Portraits too so they gave me a call. I'm so glad they did. T was so fun and totally up for whatever. ( I LOVE clients like that) She also has these fabulous eyes that are practically black. I couldn't even see where her pupil began. (I love eyes like that)

You were a lot of fun. Thanks for trusting me for your pics. I really enjoyed visiting with you. Maybe we'll hang out sometime at your Nina's. I wish you all the very best as you pursue your dreams.
Love,
Jaime

The Duo

I got to photograph these dynamic girls together. They live together, laugh together and make a pretty fun combo. I enjoyed the shoot and was glad to get to visit with these two a bit. Their personalities are each unique but they both have amazing eyes and radiant beauty. Here are a few of my favs from the shoot...

A & A~
You girls were so much fun. Thanks for letting me do your Sr. pics for you. I wish you all the best as you finish up this last month of high school and begin your adult lives. I think you both will do great.
Fondly,
Jaime

Darling

I love to photograph people with sweet personalities. This darling young lady definitely has one. She was pretty shy at the begining but warmed up as we got going. I remember the first time I saw her since being back in AZ- I didn't recognize her. She had to tell me who she was because she had grown up and changed so much. She is still as lovely now as when I helped coach her on swim team almost 8 years ago.

I wish you the very best in life as you branch out and head off to college. I'm so proud of you and the beautiful lady you've become. You will do great things as you pursue your dreams.

I literally teared up taking these with her parents. They are so proud and love her so much and it is very obvious and so sweet.

Her Boys

Even though there is only one female in this family, she can hold her own. This family is just gorgeous and radiant. I completely enjoyed getting to spend some time with them capturing beautiful images with them.

Thanks guys for going with the flow and trusting me to take your family photos. I hope you treasure these photographs for years to come.

Beauty

What a beauty this sweet girl is. This is one of those students who I've watched grow up and can remember her as a young elementary student. Her personality is still so kind and innocent. I loved getting to spend a little time with her and catch her smile on camera.

Thanks for letting me do your pictures. I'm sorry it took me a few extra days to get these posted on the blog. You are such a sweetheart and I wish you all the very best.
