  • A little about me :-)

    Hello Everyone! First of all, THANKS for stopping by! I don't often get a chance to be in front of the camera, so I wanted to share a little bit about who I am while I have the chance :-) I am the wife to a wonderful soldier and am a mother to 3 beautiful children. My family is my life and I am beyond blessed to be able to do what I love and still be able to be there for my children whenever they need me.

    Cherise Kiel Photography was founded in January 2009! I feel absolutely blessed to capture such important memories in my clients lives. To me, photography is more than just a picture, it's a moment captured in time. A priceless memory that we can relive over and over every time we look at that image. I truly love what I do and I am honored to be able to capture such important parts of your life!

Baby Kosta { 6 weeks } | Scottsdale Newborn Photographer

Friday, March 2, 2012

Hello Everyone!!  I hope you all are having a GREAT weekend.  I know mine has gotten better, looking at this little man all evening:-)

I got an email from Baby Kosta’s parents, wanting to schedule a newborn session.  When I asked how old he was, they said about 6 weeks.  Honestly, I get a little nervous when my “newborns” are older, and I know it doesn’t sound old, but 6 weeks in the newborn world is ancient, lol!  Photographing an older baby brings on a whole new list of challenges:-)  They typically don’t sleep, and if they do, they don’t like to be posed.  BUT, as we all know, all newborns are different!!  And baby Kosta slept like a champ!!!  He woke up for just a little while and then went back to sleep after a good feeding.  His parents were awesome and love this little man so much!!  I can’t wait to photograph him throughout the coming year as he is one of our Baby Planners also!!  Welcome to the world baby Kosta!!  I’m so glad I had a chance to meet you!!

So I LOVE photographing Family and Friends!  The sessions are so much more relaxed and we always have tons of fun!  I have know Deanna for over 15 years, so I was thrilled when she asked me to photograph her adorable family!!  Our original location to shoot as was closed, so  I did a little exploring in the immediate area and came up with a super cute location.  We also did the shoot 1st thing in the morning, which is 2nd best to sunset light.  It was a little chilly, but some bribing almost always does the trick to get little ones to cooperate.  Since it was a little chilly in the morning we worked fast to make sure the little boys didn’t get too cold. At the same time, Deanna and Brian were celebrating their 10 year anniversary so we made sure to capture some extra shots of the two of them to remember this milestone!!

Deanna and Brian, I had tons of fun with you and your boys and thank you for being so flexible with my location change, lol!  I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them!!  Can’t wait to do it again:-)

1:1 Mentoring Session| Precious Beginnings Newborn Workshop

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

This last Friday I was lucky enough to have a wonderful photographer drive up from Tucson to learn a little more about newborn photography with my 1:1 mentoring sessions that I offer.  Reena headed up “north” early in the morning and was here at 9am ready to learn!  We had 2 wonderful newborn models and 1 beautiful maternity model join us during the day.  It was really a GREAT mentoring session and Reena was fabulous!  We discussed newborn posing, safety, wrapping, soothing, pricing, marketing and post processing.  The day seemed to go by super fast but it was a wonderful mentoring session and I hope that Reena learned a lot!!

Thank you sooooo much Reena for coming up and allowing me to spend the day with you!  I hope you learned a lot and I can’t wait to see your business grow!!  You are awesome, and don’t forget it!!  If you are in the Tucson, be sure to check her out at 27 Wishes Photography!!

If you are interested in attending one of my newborn workshops or doing a 1:1 mentoring session with me, please check out my page at    Precious Beginnings Newborn Workshop for more information:-)

In the mean time, check out these super cute image from our day!!

The Future Baby { T } | Surprise Maternity Photography

Thursday, February 23, 2012

Katie was referred to me by another one of my past clients.  We had talked to each other over email several times, planning out all of our ideas for her shoot.  They were super excited and so was I!  Then the day finally came:-)  They made the trek from the East valley over to the “west side” in order to shoot at my “secret meadow” spot.  This has become my new favorite location for families, children and newborns alike.  We have been having unusually warm weather lately and the sky was perfectly clear.  It was the perfect day!

When they arrived, I was setting up our “clothes line” set and we were ready to get started.  Everything was perfect and so were they!  We had so much fun and Katie was absolutely gorgeous!  I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to photograph and I can’t wait till their newborn session!!  They have so much love for baby Tristan already and I know it will grow tenfold once he’s here!  Congratulations guys, I will see you in a couple of months!
