Today I turn 35. A few weeks ago I decided that I had two choices. I could crawl under my blankets and wish it all away, or I could celebrate that I’ve been given 35 years of love, laughter, happy tears, sad tears, struggles and success. So often as we (I’m talking to you ladies) […]

Tara and Nick grew up in the same hometown and worked at the same restaurant, but didn’t meet each other until the last week before college started. When they talked for the first time, the couple realized that they would be living in the same apartment complex for school. Nick offered to help Tara move-in, […]

Julia and Matt originally met each other back in high school, when they were both on the same cross-country team. But it would be several years before the couple would reconnect at a concert at the Mesa Amphitheater. That’s when they began dating and have stayed together ever since, even when Matt accepted a position […]

Believe me, Mallory and Brian’s engagement session will forever stand out in my mind. I was in the zone. I had them posed and was photographing away. Things were going wonderfully until I heard a hiss… a slight hiss, and within a split second, it hits me. Water. Everywhere!!! After being threatened and harassed by golf course sprinklers […]

Holy color! When Stephanie and Steven said they were grabbing a drink at The Saguaro in Scottsdale, I jumped at the opportunity to start off our session in a vibrantly colored and fun location! His tie, her dress…it all went so perfectly with the inside and the outside scenery of The Saguaro, I couldn’t stop […]
