hooray you're in!

Love is just to important to wait. Michelle and Taneesha’s June 1st wedding date was a day of significance for the couple, so when Covid-19 restrictions prevented them from having their full wedding and reception, they decided to share the moment in a small, intimate ceremony so that their bond could be joined on a date that meant so much to them. Michelle and Taneesha said their vows on the peaceful riverfront at Three Rivers Point in Phoenix this past Monday.

I have to say, I have Odessa to thank for recommending one seriously beautiful indoor location for her and Tyler’s engagement session.

Anahlya | Newborn

March 31, 2019

OMG!!! How beautiful is Anahlya? When she showed up for her newborn session, she looked just like a doll in her car carrier. She was so perfect, I couldn’t even believe that she was real!!!! When we started getting her ready for her pictures, she woke up, (she was NOT going to miss a moment of the shoot by sleeping), but eventually she sailed away to dream land, and we caught these gorgeous pics.

I was really excited to be meeting these two for their session, and mother nature was smiling down on us the whole time. […]

Few things can beat the beauty of a winter wedding. There is something special and magical about nature and the way the snow makes everything POP! I was so happy to start the 2019 wedding season with Anne and Nick at the Arrowhead Lodge this past Saturday. When I met this beautiful couple for their […]

I think that there is some sort of “awesome weather = amazing photos” blessing that follow Leslie and Peter around. The first time we worked together was over the winter for their engagement shoot, and that session was striking in the stillness and beauty of fresh snow and colorful evergreens. Their fall weather offered up […]
