For Photographers

I have so many things I want to share about this moment in time, when Steve and I stood in front of one another, celebrating the ten years of marriage that was behind us, and committing ourselves to the 50+ years ahead, with Chloe, our heart, witnessing this action of love. It’s taken me so […]

Anyone who knows me, knows I try to keep it real. The good, bad and the ugly. So it occurred to me tonight to share something with those recently engaged along with my newlyweds, a little about my marriage, nine years in the making. For those of you who don’t know our story, Steve and […]

I’m 36. Actually I turned 36 two days ago but who’s counting. For most people 36 is just a random age, a non-important birthday. But for me, this birthday was important, actually more important that I realized it would. See, last year as I turned 35, which is a somewhat a milestone of sorts, I […]

“Oh! She’s a feisty one!” These were the first words spoken about our baby girl as she entered the world. And since she was three months early and a whopping 2lbs 8oz, her loud cry and those five words were music to our ears. And eight years later, those words still ring true! This year […]

If I’m completely honest, which I will be, I didn’t want to go. I had a million things on my to-do list, like responding to emails, editing images, finishing my new website, launching my first workshop. And that doesn’t include the everyday stuff like the never-ending piles of laundry, dishes (that won’t seem to do […]

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) […]

Now Steve, this letter is going to embarrass you, but I only get to brag every so often… It’s less than an hour before your birthday is officially over, and I’m sitting here on our couch, surrounded by snoring dogs, and a sleeping angel upstairs in our bed. She doesn’t think I heard her tip […]

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 […]

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. The pictures with me are imperfect, with my coaches jersey two sizes too big, […]

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 […]
