Kaleigh Crook

What an adventure Michelle, Kaleigh, and I had last weekend as we braved the big city of Phoenix! I think I speak for all three of us when I say that we had such a fun time doing make overs, taking photos, and enjoying the free entertainment that the city had to offer us. Michelle did such an awesome job bringing out Kaleigh's natural beauty and Kaleigh made my job as a photographer easy because she is so stinkin' cute and a super fun girl to not only be around, but also to photograph. Thanks for an awesome time ladies! :)

Sweet Little Isabella

Everywhere I turn there is either a precious newborn baby or a new cute pregnant mommy-to-be... it's baby season & it's so much fun! I love having the opportunity to capture some of the newest and most special times a couple shares with their new child. Last week I was blessed to get to do that with Jessica & Gavin and their week old daughter, Isabella. God has blessed them with such a sweet baby girl and I am so happy for them as they get to experience the greatest joy they could ever have. And little miss Isabella is already set out to be a girly girl- she's not even a two weeks old and is already playing dress up in sparkly tutus and awesome headbands! ;)

A Little More Fun With Calvin

We had to have another photo session with Calvin to get those pictures that every mom loves to have... her sweet baby fast asleep! It's funny how it is so easy to sit and watch a sleeping baby. I love his adorable little lips and how he likes to prop his head up on his hands when he sleeps :) Bubba and Laura have such a good looking son and I've loved getting the opportunity to capture these special moments & cute facial expressions for them. :)

Baby Calvin Is Here!

Some of our favorite friends, Bubba and Laura, just had a sweet baby boy and we couldn't be any happier for them! It still doesn't seem possible to me that this part of life is actually happening... I feel like it was just last week that we were all in youth group together, going to summer church camp, and hanging out at each other's houses. It has been so fun for my husband and I to grow up with Bubba, see him find Laura and marry her, and now to celebrate with them for the birth of their first son Calvin. I can't wait to watch this little guy grow up and for him and Brody to play together and become little buddies! :)

Thomas & Stefany Are Having A Baby

I'm so excited to share these awesome photos of my cousin and his beautiful family!! My great subjects combined with the location made for a super fun session and seriously, have you ever seen such a cute mommy-to-be rockin' her baby bump?! Stefany is such a sweet and pretty lady and she looks as if she is glowing with her pregnancy of their second child. They have an adorable little daughter, Daphne, and their son will be here at the end of July. I couldn't be any happier for them as they prepare to welcome their son into their family & I'm thankful to have been able to be a part of this exciting time!

Michelle: My Great Friend & Makeup Artist

I've been anxiously awaiting to launch my official website and to announce the new changes & additions to Erica Hayes Photography. Michelle joining my team as the makeup artist is so exciting because not only is she extremely talented with a makeup brush, but she is a blast to be around. I'm completely confident that she is going to be a huge asset to the team and I know she will add a little sparkle to my photos with the makeup that she does. Contact me through ericalhayes.com to book a session and to get even more beautified by this gorgeous girl!
