And they lived happily ever after <3.

Erika and Ted.

 

Sara, Layla and baby Cruz

She is 38 weeks pregnant, and it was 105º, but she made it through our mini-session with a smile on her face and not a word of complaint. Thank you sweet Sara! I'm so happy for you!

 

 

And one more of beautiful Layla :)

 

Brittany and Merek: The Wedding

I'm having a hard time finding things through the cloud of dust on my blog ;). I feel terrible that it has been so long. Blogging takes me FOREVER, so I usually put it on the back burner, and with an incredibly busy last six months, I have really let it slide into neglect.

Nothing makes me happier to make a blogging comeback than posting Brittany and Merek's wedding. It was magnificent, and I was touched to be able to capture a couple that was not only so strongly in love, but also had such a love of family and friends. That day was what getting married is all about. Love, commitment, happiness, playfulness, friendship, faith....I could go on forever. I'm so honored I was a part of it.

 

   

 

 

 

The Strieter Family

Brandi is a sweet friend of mine, and someone who I've known for quite awhile now. Our boys are even the same age! The Strieter's are great. So relaxed, so fun, and seriously, the time just flew. Thank you Brandi and family! It was so great to finally get to do your family photos! I know we've talked about it for a long time now, and I'm so happy to have done it!

 

The Tagtmeyer Family!

I'm so very lucky to work with such amazing clients. Down to earth, warm, and kind. The Tagtmeyer's are always a treat to photograph. Those little girls are just sweet as can be and are growing up so fast! I'm so lucky to be able to capture them! Thank you Tagtmeyer's!

 

The Witter's!

Some of my oldest and favorite clients! Love these guys, they are the best! And always certain to keep me laughing throughout the whole shoot. Thank you Witter family!

 

Brianna

This was such a beautiful session. Brianna is such a gorgeous, talented girl, and I so enjoyed our shoot! And the light...it was just incredible that afternoon. One of my favorite perks about living in Arizona. The light is so warm and seems to come from every direction. Love it!

 

Calista

I can't tell you how pumped up I was when the amazingly talented Lisa Holloway sent me word that she found out about an old abandoned mine, which was located about halfway between us. Oh, and it's haunted. There were ghosthunters camped out there that evening when we were on our way out. Pretty crazy stuff! Anyway, Lisa's daughter Calista is obviously a beauty, and boy does the camera love her. Plus she's a sweetie and super smart. A really cool little girl. So thank you Lisa for inviting me! Thank you for a blast, and an adventure of an afternoon! (Did I mention that Lisa is not only super cool, but also fearless? And that I'm pretty sure she's convinced I'm a neurotic ninny :D.)  This place was an endless abyss of cool stuff!

 

 

 

 

Engaged

Not only are they beautiful, down to earth, kind people, but they are also amazing photographers. You can't beat being awesome on both sides of the camera! The connection and sweet chemistry between these two is amazing, and what a treat it was to photograph them. Thanks Brittany and Merek for choosing me to be a part of this special time in your life. I can't wait for April!

 

The McClure's

Hmmmm...my favorite part about this session? Probably just the wonderful combination of me NEVER laughing so hard on a shoot, the gorgeous weather, and a kind, genuine and loving family. I couldn't ask for more! That you for a wonderful session McClure family!
