There are people that come in to your life and immediately form a special bond with you. That is exactly what happened with the Suter Family. I was blessed to enough to meet the youngest little member, Noelle, who instantly stole my heart. Her personality, beautiful eyes and sense of style was iresistable to my heart. She would walk into the classroom as though she was walking on the red carpet in Hollywood. Noelle modeled her new outfit and if for any reason you didn't notice, she would make it known and capture your attention. Her personality reminded me so much of my own daughter and allowed me to relive many special moments.

As the year went on, I had the opportunity to get to know her parents. I loved how they treated Noelle, each in their own special way, always encouraging her and supporting her. Dad would would get as excited as Noelle when he would walk in and they usually ran to each other and embraced. Sometimes they both walked out of my room skipping, laughing and having fun. I LOVED how confident he was and didn't care what others thought of him as he went along with his daughter's ideas.  Noelle's mom embraced her daughter's creativeness and strong willed personality yet guided her when she didn't make the best choices. I could tell immediately that this family had  very strong values and a strong faith.

After a major promotion, the Suters were asked to relocate. Adriana contacted me about taking pictures in a natural setting that would remind them of their home, friends and life here in Arizona. She wanted the desert and what better place than the White Tanks.  After setting the date and time, the mother coordinated colors and outfits for the special day. The weather was hot in the day but the evening breeze was perfect for our photo session.

The colors that the mom chose were absolutely gorgeous. She chose blue tones, orange and a creamy color. They weren't all wearing the same colors but each outfit complimented each other. Perhaps I'm biased but I thought they all looked absolutely gorgeous. Don't you agree?!!!
