Jayde//Flagstaff Arizona Child Photographer

Jayde is a returning member of our spokesmodel team. Last year we did a fairy dancer session and I cannot get the idea of Jayde as a beautiful woodland creature out of my mind. It might be her big bright eyes, or her sweet spirit or her natural beauty. But I think it is most likely the quiet sense of peace that she carries around with her, it reminds me of a walk in the forest. There is a magical quality to Jayde. I’ve seen it over and over again with her sister and my own children. She brings joy to moments that just held tears.

Over the last year we have done a lot of sessions together and I wanted to do something completely unique for her spokesmodel session this year. Her mom agreed we needed to do something out in nature and not knowing how I would pull it off with our fickle Arizona weather, I knew we needed to do a snow session for her.

Taking a leap of faith I ordered a custom blue gown from Jeanne Sterner Designs that I felt fit Jayde’s personality the best, booked a weekend in Flagstaff and hoped for the best.

Ironically we hit Flagstaff on one of the only weekends in February that didn’t have snow fall, but fortunately there was enough snow on the ground to make the images I had imagined for her come to life.

One of the things I love most about Jayde is how she is up for anything! Even if that means wearing a tank top in freezing weather just to get the images I dreamed up for her.

My favorite part of the entire set was how beautifully it tied together with her purple hair!
