Josh & Sue are Married!

Josh and Sue were recently married in Tucson, AZ. We had a blast shooting their engagement photos on Mount Lemmon and an even better time shooting their wedding. With the ceremony at a local park and the reception at the Pima Air and Space Museum, this wedding was unique and fantastic. Congratulations and best wishes for a happy life and marriage. We can’t wait for you both to see the rest of the pics!

Rosy Ballerina

My beautiful niece is a ballerina and attends Ballet Arizona. As part of the audition process for summer programs, she needed some audition photos for her application. She's fantastic and amazingly talented (can you tell I'm a proud Aunt?). Good luck Ros!

Planning, Planning, Planning

There’s a huge bridal show coming up this weekend and when I hear the advertisements on the radio I think back to my wedding planning days. I spent some time at the bridal fairs as a bride and it was a fun, overwhelming yet bonding experience. The first time I went was with my sister. We weren’t sure what to expect and were totally overwhelmed. We laughed about it and de-stressed over lunch shortly after. While I’m not quite ready to attend as a vendor, I know that the experience I had as a bride will help me prepare. To help you prepare for your wedding day, I’ve listed a couple of my favorite planning blogs and websites. There are so many ideas and different things to be inspired by, the list could go on forever! I’ll keep it simple and post a few every so often as they come to mind.

Stealing the Show

There has been a lot going on this holiday season (in the best way possible!), but I wanted to post this adorable holiday pic that I didn't have a chance to post a while back. Aren't they fantastically cute! I'm not sure who steals the show more...Peanut or Frankie! Either way, this is a beautiful family (plus I love it when the pups are included). :)

Beautiful Belly ~ Arizona Maternity Photographer

Scot & Stacie are expecting their little arrival in late January and couldn’t be cuter as they plan and prepare. They aren’t finding out the gender (so if you can possibly tell by the ultrasound pic, keep it quiet!), which is becoming increasingly unusual these days. I think it’s sweet and incredibly exciting. Makes me rethink my “must know as soon as possible” approach. Maybe when the time comes for us, we’ll be a little more patient. It’s doubtful, but who knows! Here are some of the pictures from our recent maternity session.

We are so excited for you both! We can't wait to meet the little one.

Legendary Lute

Denise recently asked me to photograph her greyhounds (primarily Lute) and it was incredibly fun. These two are pretty much naturals in front of the camera. They are incredibly sweet and love their Mama to pieces! How could you not love the woman who rescued you from racing once you were retired!

They are beautiful creatures and it was my pleasure to capture these moments for you, Denise! I hope you enjoy.

Bataille Family Pictures

This is my amazing sister's family who recently came out to central Phoenix for a family shoot. I can't believe my nieces are growing up so fast, but I suppose that's life and why we document it with photographs, right? Here are some of my favorites.















My sister and her hubby just celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary! Aren't they adorable?!

I love you family!
