I talk a lot through my posts, explain the shoot or the experience. I will just say that this was a year in the making and a pure joy to shoot.

Baby Vincenzo – 10 weeks

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 03:39:42 +0000

My very dear friend Pam (who also happens to be the awesome photographer Pamela Nicole) asked me to come by and capture her with her son. A problem many photographer parents…and Mom’s in general have is that they are never IN the picture with their babies. I know that most days that is the case for me. So while I am no Pam, I was very happy to give her a break from photographer Pam and let her be New Mom Pam. Here are some shots from their playtime today.

Baby Vincenzo- 10 weeks handsome

Family Mini Session – Gilbert Family Photographer

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:38:50 +0000

I know I am rocking on my blog posts…(meaning I am actually doing them, pat self on back..) . I had a family session recently with one of my bestest friends. She has a little baby named Jude and I have been capturing his whole first year. It’s been pretty fun to tell you the truth. I managed to convince them to finally do a family photo. I am pretty sure this was a first. Anyhow we shot a little mini session at the park near their house. This kid is a ham. I just love these, they make me smile. Amy, Jim and Jude.

The House of Jones Girls – Arizona family photographer

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 05:44:24 +0000

Okay so I know that I showed off these beauties a few months ago but I went back to catch little Natilee’s 6 month pictures. This is the house of Jones girls. 4 girls and my good friend Cindy is the ring leading Mamma behind it all. She’s a saint, or at least has the patience of one. I just adore these girls and all of the silliness that goes on in this house. I wanted to show some images from my recent pop over session a few weeks ago. You can’t help but love everyone of these beautiful girls (by the way with 4 totally different personalities.

Here is Baby Natilee, probably one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen…seriously.

Next Jones sister is the (born to be a traveling gypsy actress type) Jillian. She makes me laugh…a lot. Although here she just looks like a melt-your-heart-baby-girl.

This is what who I always refer to as “my favorite”. I love them all, it’s now just become a joke that Ellyce is my favorite.

Last but not least the oldest Jones, “the original” Aslynn. She’s a ham and I love her.

Babies are a plenty! Mesa Newborn Photographer

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 07:03:55 +0000

While I have plenty of brides and models to go around, it’s coming up on “baby season.” That is when I have so many expected little ones on their way! Today is little Olivia. She was probably one of the best babies I have shot. So calm and really trusting with me. Her Momma allowed me time to get everything I needed and Olivia slept in and out for two hours. It was wonderful. Then at the end she opened her little eyes so I could get a peak. Honestly a perfect session . I used to obsess about shooting newborns like everyone else. I see all of these wonderful and creative shots that are art worthy. Frustrating shoot after frustrating shoot I finally have just succumb to shooting what I see, to hopefully seeing what their mothers see. I shot all of these just sitting on her mother’s bed and it was wonderful.

Here is little 3 week old Olivia. (oh and the first peak of my new logo!!)

It’s baby time again! – Phoenix Newborn Photographer

Okay so I have a backlog of models and a bride to share…but you have to see little Max. I went to high school with his Momma and she found me through, where else…Facebook. We had been talking about her session for months. He is just barely 10 days old and such a sweet little guy. I know that I have a baby in a hat picture already this month, but does it really get old? These little hats are so dang cute. (Thank you Jackie).

Here’s two pictures of little Max. I would post more but I am currently giving up valuable movie/cuddle time with my hubby to post this much! Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Max..

Beautiful Belly Images I Scottsdale Maternity Photographer

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:52:45 +0000

Okay so I will warn you now…if you are pregnant…do not look. It is not normal to be this beautiful and 8 months pregnant.

You may recognize this beauty from my business card. When Brita asked me moths ago to do maternity pictures of her I was so excited. We met at the Wrigley Mansion today to capture her 8th month. I came home and couldn’t resist posting a few. I am sure you are thinking..How beauitful can she be? Yeah…THAT beautiful. So here are some of my faves of the day.

This picture was taken in front of a black cloth wedged in a door so that it stayed up. Cheesecloth was bought on the way to the shoot. Love this…

OMG this is my favorite. I love this shot and this fabulous metallic blue couch I found there.

Seriously…stupid beautiful.

How cute is this shirt???

I know that the butterfly is so cliche’ for other photographers but I love it. I love the color and life of it. Just call me cliche’

Bellies, bellies, everywhere!

I have so many mothers-to-be around me! Two of my good friends are having babies. The shots in this posting are from my session with my high school friend Jamie. She’s having her second baby but her oldest is 12! Baby Iris will be making her debut on early October. This is another session at The Farm. Total coincidence because I have had a few session in between. I just managed to land back here since my last post. It’s okay because I love shooting there. Aside from the ants and bug bites I always leave with, it is very peaceful. I struggled with the lighting this day. Normally I do very well shooting into the sun but I could not get my camera to focus to save my soul. I worked in manual focus a lot. Normally not a big deal but when starring into the sun, it can be difficult to find your focal point.

Here is my beautiful friend Jamie and her pretty belly .

Bridgette Marie Photography gets a new blog!

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 08:53:13 +0000

Welcome…isn’t it pretty? Well I am still working on it frankly so don’t be surprised if you run across something funky. Feel free to let me know. Okay…so if you are joining me from my previous Typepad blog you know that my last post was about the Ogie ad. I guess they decided not to use the images for that particular ad. I wasn’t given a ton of direction and I don’t believe the route I went was what the designer wanted. Oh well, hopefully they are using them for other wonderful things. (Lauren looked amazing).

In the last few weeks, my computer went down. That was like the world had stopped and I was just standing there holding memory cards. Apple said 4 days. Nearly 2 week later I had it back. Nightmare. I have so many clients steaming mad at me. I am doing my best…I am only me and even as I type this, it is 1 AM and I have an audition at 8AM. SRP commercial, wish me luck.

Here is a shot from Miss Natilee Jones that was born a few weeks ago. She is the fourth sister in an all girl house. Newborn shoots are not my specialty, I will admit that. However this was a good friend of mine and it was a lot of fun to capture these for her. Her girls are silly and wonderful. I have been documenting the Jones girls since I picked up my first SLR.

Of course I have had a few model shoots sprinkled in there. My most recent was Kylie. She’s 17 and spunky. I loved working with her. Finally…a redhead!

Well, I must get back to sorting through all of this chaos and update all my sites. I have so many images to get up! Oh and little side note, I will be on Arizona Midday (Channel 12) at 1 PM on Friday doing Coffee Talk again. Destry is always loads of fun. Thanks for making the switch and following my blog to it’s new home!
