I met the Harper’s and the Johnson’s on a chilly and cloudy day, which is rare in Phoenix, but it happens! I always say that my soul LOVES the clouds and the rain, but the photographer in me, loves and appreciates the sun! However, this session didn’t feel like it was hindered by the clouds […]

I love mini sessions because they are perfect for the family, or couple, or individual who knows they want photos but simply doesn’t need a lot of time or a lot of photos. I only do them once or twice a year, because I value full sessions and being able to spend that time with […]

This was my second time taking photos of the Spiritline from Scottsdale Christian Academy and I loved it just as much this time! Scottsdale Christian is the high school I went to, so it’s always fun for me to be able to take photos of students from there and reminisce about those days! ;) We […]

I’m so in love with this family, I could take photos of them all the time! After the arrival of their new baby in the fall, now they have THREE adorable little boys! Those beautiful parents sure have their hands full! ;) This is the second time I’ve been invited into their lovely home to […]

As soon as we arrive at this location… I instantly fell IN LOVE with it! I was thinking of all the shoots I could do with the variety of nature as well as the wooden fence that looked like it had a story with it! ;) However, towards the end of our session, we were […]

Oh my goodness, this family, these children… I just love them! I mean, when you’re looking through these photos, you won’t be able to NOT smile when  you see these kids laughing and playing together. They are absolutely adorable! The Kao family is so full of light and they are one of those families that […]

Most of my blog posts consist primarily of color photos with a few black and whites thrown in. Sometimes, they don’t even have one black and white photo! And this is because I LOVE COLOR!! I love bright and bold and vibrant COLORS! I feel that color can truly bring a photo to LIFE! However, every […]

If you’ve been following along my photography journey for the past couple months, then you’ve probably seen this girl pop up a few times on my blog and social media… and I’m not at all sorry about it! ;) I had been wanting to shoot at the fair for YEARS and I’m so thankful that Marissa […]

It started raining during this shoot… we brought umbrellas though… but then the rain stopped 3 minutes later. Haha. We were prepared for the rain when we saw the stormy clouds (which I LOVE) and Elaine and I were ready to keep shooting no matter what happened! :) Their adorable little boy, Siah, wasn’t too […]

I had been wanting to do a shoot at the State Fair for a couple years.. and this year I wanted to try extra hard to make sure it happened! I ended up getting to shoot there twice! The first time is this shoot and the second will come in a later blog post with photos […]
