Meet Ohana

We brought home a new puppy on Tuesday night and she has been delightful and a bit of a monster all in one. Her big sister loves her and she's managed to earn a few nicknames (ex. Houdini, need I say more?). I just had to share a few of the pics we've taken of her this week. I have a feeling she might be a reoccurring theme on here as she grows. :)

Romy & Lauryn are Married!

Weddings come in many different forms and I’ve been lucky to experience several. I’m thinking on a simple level. Whether it is religion, personality, family traditions or locations, there always seems to be something unique. Just recently, we took a weekend trip up to Las Vegas to witness and take pleasure in my brother-in-laws wedding. It was a Vegas wedding, but without Elvis and big neon signs. It was in a little Vegas chapel and they made it simple, personal and unique to them, which I think every wedding should be. They had a Photographer included in their wedding package but I managed to take a few photos during the dinner afterwards.









Congratulations and best of luck on all your future endeavors!

Arizona Maternity Photographer

Maternity pictures are fantastic! This beautiful soon to be Mom of two makes it look so easy. I’m hooked on the idea of capturing this moment for myself someday, but until then, I’ll happily capture the moment for others. I can only wish that I’ll look half this amazing and have a daughter so adorable as this little one. Here are a few of our favorites from the day.
























Thank you for sharing this experience with me! Best wishes on your upcoming delivery.

Denver!

We spent some time in Colorado over the 4th of July weekend. We were in Denver for the majority of our time, but also made a few day trips up to the mountains. Every city/town we visited has it’s own unique personality. I loved it. I was literally scouting houses out on day two! Unfortunately, it’s back to reality and the heat of our adored Phoenix. I may be planning a trip up to Flagstaff in the next few weeks just to quench my thirst and release my inner mountain girl. Colorado reminded me a lot of Flagstaff from the kindness of the people to the cool crisp breeze at night and afternoon showers. We had a marvelous time and will hopefully be returning one winter for some snow sports and Bacon Bloody Mary’s.

We all made signs for the game.

Cute new camera strap

Look what Andrew got for me today! It was a total surprise. This is the picture off the company website (but we're stuck in the airport so I couldn't quite post one from here). We're off to Denver. New strap attached and ready to take some fun pics. Will post about it next week!

Super cute, huh?

Joe & Becky are married!

Our awesome friends, Joe & Becky, were married this past weekend. We did their engagement pics a while back, which they used to make their guest book. Andrew and I were both in the wedding party, but we did manage to get a few pictures from the day. The quality of these wedding images aren’t quite our norm because I only had my little point and shoot handy, but I thought it would be fun to post a few photo’s nonetheless. Who doesn’t love seeing wedding photo’s right? I’ve also included a few from their engagement session, too. Enjoy!

The food was amazing.

Beautiful sunset! Aren't they gorgeous!

This is the middle tier of the cake. Also super delicious!

This is my favorite from their engagement session. I love the color and they are adorable!

We love you guys! Congratulations!

James & Brittany are Engaged!

Isn’t this a lovely couple? We could have posted 50 images on this blog from their engagement session. They’re simply naturals at this. It also helps that they are truly head over heals for one another! On a side note, I think I’m almost as smitten about these locations as these two are of each other. Here are some of our favorite images from the day:





Andrew deserves the credit for these next three. He did an excellent job shooting on the side!







Here are a few more of our favorites:

This one is my absolute favorite. So cute!

Congratulations you two! We’re so excited for you and can’t wait for you to see the rest of the pics!
