It was supposed to be a session at a different location…turns out that location had some crazy hours and was about to close as we would be starting our session. Never one without a plan, we headed to Oak Creek Canyon instead. That’s how I met Nina & Derek in person, pulled over on the […]

The minute I heard Oliver’s voice when I met with him and Mistie, I was nostalgic. His German accent, though faint, immediately took me back to a place and time that I miss so dearly. So you can imagine how excited I was to hear about how his family would be coming to their wedding, […]

Because success isn’t for the chosen few, it’s for those who choose – Amy & Jordan It happened a year and a half ago. I was in a meeting when my sister called my cell phone. I hit ignore. She called again. I hit ignore. Whatever it was, it could wait. I put my phone […]

From beginning to end, Kalah & Ryan’s wedding day was a light-hearted family affair, focusing on what matters most, those who are closest to them, and their love for one another. What was amazing to watch was their family surrounding them with love and service, starting with Kalah’s sister Delaney doing hair and makeup, her maid […]

Normally, I would only post the pic of Chloe because she’s the cutest thing ever, but as a photographer, I’m learning to take the advice I give others and tell myself that what makes images special is that the moment happened.

I could go on and on about Natalie’s Lillian Lottie Couture dress, her timeless Grace Kelly-esque beauty and sweet personality, or Andrew’s debonaire good looks, and how his comedic personality only add to his charm; which are all true. They’re the ‘if we weren’t friends I’d secretly hate you because you’re a stinkin gorgeous couple’ […]

When I met Lauren and Adam for drinks at Isabella’s Kitchen, we immediately clicked! I knew these two were going to be so much fun to photograph and hang out with! For their engagement, they decided to go with a session in Sedona, so we visited a couple of my favorite spots up there. Time […]

As the fall wedding season is quickly approaching for me, I wanted to take a minute to share the beauty of the last wedding I shot in the spring. From the moment I walked into the room, I have never seen a bride with a bigger smile. Anna was so sincerely excited, in love and […]

I was beyond excited when Lauren and Gabby had me come to California to shoot their San Diego engagement session! We started out at Balboa Park, and since it was my first time there, I was absolutely blown away by all the beautiful locations and fun things that are going on in the area. There’s colorful […]

Back in May, I was given the opportunity to photograph the Arizona Weddings Magazine launch party. I was over the moon at the opportunity, and as soon as I arrived at The Phoenician Resort, I almost squealed with delight. Though The Phoenician is a gorgeous venue on it’s own, the vendors that dressed this place […]
