I’ve known Mary since she was just a little girl, but she probably doesn’t remember me from then. I grew up with her sister, Monika, for the majority of my school life, which is how I know Mary! She’s a senior at Shadow Mountain High School, and let me tell you, this girl’s smile is […]

In the past two weeks I’ve had the opportunity to go into the homes of three different families and document their love for each other and their adorable new babies! I’ve always enjoyed doing lifestyle newborn sessions, but after the past couple weeks, I’ve grown into loving them even more!! There is something so special […]

Rachel and I met up to take her senior photos on the week that they happened to be reseeding the grass around this area. I have to give her so much credit for looking absolutely beautiful even though she went through sprinklers at least 3 times. I’m so thankful she was willing to put up […]

Nicole and I have been planning and talking about this shoot since the beginning of this year! Nicole is graduating from Grand Canyon University with her Master’s degree this month! I can’t even imagine going to school for long enough to be able to earn that, so Nicole definitely deserves the chance to celebrate this!! […]

Being able to take photos of this beautiful girl made me so happy!!! I knew Kayla in high school, which feels like forever ago but also feels like it was just the other day all at the same time. I’m not sure how that’s possible. Haha. Kayla was looking for some updated photos for her […]

Ashlyn has been in my life for 11 years now… and I didn’t even realize that until I just wrote it, haha. She was my best friend all through high school and I’m so thankful we are still a part of each other’s lives! Ashlyn and her husband, Kevin, are expecting a baby in March […]

I took photos for this family almost a year ago and it was instantly one of my favorite family sessions ever! Now, after taking photos of them for a second time… with a new family member…. this is officially my NEW favorite family session ever!!! Ben and Becky have been in my life for a […]

This session was the first of my local 2015 seniors!!! I have always loved doing senior sessions and the more I do, the more I love them! Delaney and Michael are twins who are in their senior year at Chaparral High School! This session was different than most of my senior sessions for a couple […]

I can’t believe it’s been nearly two weeks since I last blogged! The time has gone by so fast! The reason that I disappeared a little is partly because my laptop was away at Apple getting fixed for 9 days! I felt entirely strange without it. And the other reason is because I am now […]

The amount of shoots I’m doing are slowing WAY down… because I don’t love to take photos in 100+ degree weather. Because, who enjoy thats?! Haha. So this was one of my last shoots in the Phoenix heat before I leave for Portland and I’m happy I was able to shoot this cute couple before […]
