For the past few years, I’ve donated a photo session to a silent auction held by Young Lives with Young Life. They’re an organization that helps teens mothers become the women and mothers that God created them to be and get encouragement from leadership and others who are experiencing the same thing. The lovely person […]

I love family sessions! All kinds of them! But it’s extra nice when I have a family that is as easy going as this one! We took some classic, posed portraits but then we did quite a few shots of them just having around in lounge chairs too! They were just making the most out […]

I’ve known Christine and Matt since high school, they were in my sister’s grade but Matt had a sister that was in my grade. Did you follow that? Because I realize how that sounded all over the place. Haha. I’ve had the chance to photograph this crew along with more of their family when I’ve […]

I first met Kate when I did her maternity photos earlier this year! Her and her husband, Will, were such a joy to work with, and not just because they’re a beautiful couple but because they’re beautiful from the inside out! I loved having the chance to come to their house and capture some photos […]

I never know exactly how I’m going to feel about cloudy weather weather on photo shoots. The lighting can vary so much depending on what kind of clouds. Sometimes, I’m disappointed because I was looking forward to the sun. Sometimes, I’m thankful because the cloud coverage gives me more control over what areas we can […]

I’ve known Sam for over 10 years and she has been such a great friend of mine through all these years! We met each other in a disciple training program that I did right after high school and then continued to keep in touch from then on! We’ve worked together as nannies in the past […]

It’s photo shoots like this that make me fall in love with the desert! I haven’t always been a fan of it, but the more photography I do, the more I love it!! There is just something so special about the light in the desert! I had such an amazing time with these two! Not […]

I had the chance to take maternity photos of Ally while Teddy was still in her belly at this same location! So it was so much fun, to not only meet that adorable baby boy, but to photograph their growing family in this same spot! This family is so sweet, talented and beautiful!! And Isla […]

I met a couple of these family members when I photographed the Scottsdale Christian Academy Spiritline a couple years ago! And it was so fun for me to meet the rest of the family and have the chance to photography them! They are all so sweet with each other and excited about photos, which makes […]

I love how dedicated Alice was to making sure this photo shoot with her family happened! Because of many unforeseen circumstances that were out of our control, this shoot had to be rescheduled 3 times since May! But I’m so thankful that she wanted to make sure this shoot happened and that we were finally […]
