This was my second St. Patricks Day wedding and just like the first one, this one was AMAZING. Bring on all the St. Patty’s Day weddings! I met Patrick and Missy back when I did their engagement photos at Sabino Canyon. I knew right away I loved their love. They had a beautiful ceremony at St. Pius church and a fabulous reception at the beautiful Tanque Verde Guest Ranch where we had one of my favorite portrait sessions ever! I got nothing but genuine loving vibes from every single person who attended this beautiful wedding.

Many thanks to everyone who made this wedding possible:

Beautiful Makeup by the wonderful Heather Van Houghton Team

AMAZING flowers by Mayfield Florist

Delicious cake made by Missy and Patrick’s great friend!

And my wonderful friend Alexis Perea Jones was my wonderful second shooter!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She has the kind of smile that can make you forget everything! Little Lily lit up my day and I just can’t get over how adorable she is. I just love the Stewart family!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7 kids, a dog and 8 adults! I love a good challenge! This was such as amazing family to work with. They were in town visiting for spring break enjoying the nice weather. We spent the afternoon climbing a mountain at Star Pass and got some great photos of the whole family.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m lucky enough to be shooting Valerie and Dominic’s wedding in May! They contacted me and told me Dominic’s brother was going to be in town and they wanted to get some family photos and some practice in front of the camera:) It was a BEAUTIFUL day at Catalina State Park. Lots of green, some water to jump over, and the most glorious golden hour I think I’ve ever seen! Here are some of my favorites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Momma Kristen was awesome enough to be the model for my first milk bath shoot that I posted recently. Her baby girl arrived a couple weeks later! I normally go to my clients home to shoot newborn sessions, but Kristen’s home is currently under renovation so that wasn’t an option. My house is usually filled with dogs and crazy kiddos so that’s not ideal either!

I asked my friend Brittany Kemberling with Kimby Family Photography if she would like to collaborate for this shoot and use her studio! We live pretty close to one another and our kiddos are great friends. I was super excited that she agreed and I think the photos turned out so adorable! Congratulations on your growing family Kristen! Your girls are just perfect!

Chase, Justin and baby Davis are all anxiously awaiting for baby Currie to arrive! They’re waiting to find out the gender! I can’t wait! We wandered around the Botanical Gardens where Chase and Justin got married. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! And check out the little guy who found the perfect spot to hang out for a while!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had so much fun with this perfect little family! Nixon brought his Dory lunchbox full of choo choo’s and we even got to see a couple of real trains! I loved hearing his little voice saying “Nudah one?! Nudah one?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh my goodness, Mimi is perfect in every way! It was like she practiced being the cutest, happiest little 6 month old on the planet! I could photograph her all day everyday. So grateful I get to watch this sweet girl grow up. Super big thanks to Bri for coming with me and helping make most of these smiles possible and thanks to Myles and Aimee for being the coolest parents ever…..even letting mimi play in puddles!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was so excited to do this beautiful shoot with Kristen! My sidekick Bri and I planned this about a month ago and everything went as planned! I even got to feel her little kicks and see her moving all around!

Thanks for being a perfect model Kristen! So excited for you and your family!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Christina asked me to do this shoot for her, I was so excited. I have never done an intimate maternity session before and I knew it was going to be amazing. Christina’s radiance and confidence shines through in these images that she will cherish forever. I’m still blown away every time I think about what a woman’s body goes through to grow a baby. It is so amazingly beautiful and fascinating. Everyday she is one day closer to meeting her sweet little princess. Little August got to show his adorable little smile in some of the photos as well! He’s going to be an amazing big brother!
