I met Alison and Paul at Wild Horse Ranch the day of their wedding. I know Alison’s sister Erin from doing photos for her for many years before her family moved out of state. I immediately felt at ease when I was greeted with Alison’s beautiful smile and sweet demeanor. Paul showed up a while later after getting his hair done….unfortunately the hair salon failed, but Alison’s bridal party saved the day by fixing his do!
What I absolutely love about weddings is seeing all the different family dynamics. I seriously haven’t laughed so hard at a wedding in a long time. Pauls family was just hilarious.
I was a little worried because I was told that Paul hated being in photos, but from the evidence below….I would disagree:)
The beautiful flowers were done by Elaine Taylor Fine Flowers
The delicious cake was done by Village Bakehouse
Thanks to my sweet friend Alexis Perea Jones for shooting with me! You da best!

I’m so glad I get to see this adorable pineapple every 3 months! She has the most radiant smile! We basically just played dress up because Miles and Aimee have the best baby wardrobe ever! Here are some highlights!

Oh these boys!! Their smiles light up the entire world! Their momma is so loved and lucky to have such two sweet little well behaved boys. I’m always so excited to see these three!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These two are naturals in front of the camera. I totally felt the fireworks during this session at Ventana Canyon. We walked up the trail and took photos along the way. Once we got the the waterfall, Sean dropped to one knee and proposed to his beautiful woman Lizzy. They’re just magic together and I’m so happy they chose each other to spend their lives with!

Oh these girls just stole my heart. Every shoot with little ones is so unpredictable. We have one who steals the show, one who is shy….but will do anything for a lolly pop, and one who outright boycotts the whole shoot! I love every minute of it. I also love that Linzee and Travis have two dark hair, dark eye beauties and then one blond hair, blue eyed babe! So great! We explored downtown with our lolly pops and had a blast!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was so wonderful seeing the Wells family again this year! Allison and Madeline are full of energy, personality and beauty! We hiked around Catalina State park fighting the bugs, but enjoying the beautiful scenery and amazing purple mountains. A big thanks to Bri White for coming along to help since I’m still limping around!

Here are some of my favorites! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well let me start off saying that Sedona is my absolute favorite place to be. When I heard Marcianne and Eva were having their wedding there, I hoped and hoped that they would ask me to come photograph it! I was overjoyed when my wish came true. It was a rainy, overcast day so I was a little.. (tiny) bit worried that we weren’t going to see the beautiful scenery or that it would be too wet to shoot outdoors for very long, but no amount of rain, mud, or clouds would come between us and some amazing photos! They came prepared with umbrellas, the clouds parted and let the sun shine through, and they were gifted an absolutely PERFECT wedding day!
Marcianne’s dress was from Gigi’s Bridal and Eva’s custom suit was by S.W. Wilson. Sedona’s Beauty Team made this already beautiful bridal party just stunning! The food was catered by Rosalie’s of Sedona and it was absolutely delicious. The truly fragrant and gorgeous flowers were by Mountain High Flowers.  The jams were put on by Downtown Browne Productions, and the unbelievably beautiful cake was done by Jess Barnes and Danielle Estrella!

Many thanks to the beautiful and talented Katrina Wallace for second shooting with me! She’s amazing:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is the best recipe for a perfect wedding? Well it’s everything this family did. I have known this family for almost all my life, but I had never met Sarah before. I met her and Dave about 2 weeks before the wedding and they just stole my heart. They’re the sweetest couple and It was so wonderful to spend the day with such loving, genuine, real people. It’s just so refreshing to see a family come together and be so close and have so much unconditional love for one another.

The girls got ready at Sarah’s sisters beautiful home in Tucson Country Club.  Alyssa Goncales did such an amazing job on hair and Jenny from DeVorgeous made the girls makeup look flawless!  Sarah’s sister in law Leigh and her friend Rachael did the flowers and oh my gosh were they beautiful! The ceremony was at St. Pius Church and the reception was at The Stillwell House Downtown where they had the MOST delicious desert table with a beautiful cake from a gluten free bakery called Dedicated, Dinosaur cake toppers, my favorite vendor food, and grandmas with the sweetest dance moves I’ve ever seen! I would shoot this wedding over and over and over again. HUGE thanks to my main girls (that I adore) Kelly Rashka and Alexis Perea for shooting with me. You girls rocked it! Congratulations Dave and Sarah! I wish you lifetimes of happiness together!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had such a wonderful shoot with the Johns family. Baby Addison is just the sweetest little baby and Michaela and Jason are naturals at parenthood! I always feel like I won the lottery when I get a baby smile!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was so excited when this amazing family that I’ve been photographing for a couple years asked if I would travel to their new home of Flagstaff to photograph them this year. I couldn’t wait to be in the mountain air with all the beautiful colors on the trees. We drove to the top of Snow Bowl and wandered around picking dandelions, dancing in the grass, and enjoying the beautiful views!
