Can Sam and Devon just get married over and over? Look at all these faces beaming with happiness! This amazing couple and their family members got ready in an amazing mid-town Air BNB. The ceremony and reception were at The Tucson Botanical Gardens. It was a beautiful day with a short lived, light sprinkling rain. My favorite part of the day was during the first look when Devon said to Sam “Don’t cry, I look GREAT!” And that she did! They also did a first look with their pup, which was adorable. These are the weddings that make my world go round and make me so excited to document LOVE! Thanks to my bestie Kelly Rashka for kicking butt again!

The first time I met Aaron and Kristin, I asked Kristin if I could hire her. She showed up with a minute by minute play of the wedding day! I admired and envied her organizational skills. They got married at the beautiful Tanque Verde Guest Ranch. As you can see, these two know how to have fun. Kristin wore Wonder Woman tights under her dress, they had cornhole, smores, and T-Rex even paid a visit to the reception! The sky was beautiful and the wedding was perfect!! The AMAZING cake was made by Kristin’s sister Allysia Hemsworth, Crystal Kea did the hair magic, and DJ Mike from Retro Radio was in charge of the bootie shaking. Huge gigantic thanks to my bestie Kelly Rashka for being by my side and shooting with me! Here’s a little glimpse into their day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love meeting new families! This was my first time working with the K family. Little Goldie was very weary of me and my cameras, but we were able to steal a few adorable pics of her big blue eyes. Baby Clementine was only 3 days new and perfect in every way!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had a blast with the Nitka family! We hiked up a mountain (Kristen in heels), and Katelyn in Ballet shoes, which she said were great for hiking. I may or may not have gotten us lost…. But regardless, it was an amazingly beautiful day and I am just in love with these 2 little angels that I could photograph all day everyday! Here are some of my favorites!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My most favorite thing to photograph is people in their environments….and adorable children! So basically I was in heaven for this shoot. This was a last minute shoot (scheduled the day before) because their oldest son flew into town for a day to see his new baby sister! Such an amazing family with so much love filling their home. I could’ve spent the entire day with them. Here are a bunch of my favorites!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To one of my favorite couples Aarynn and Eric: Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your beautiful day!

Unconditional, overflowing love, emotion and loads and loads of belly laughter was what this wedding day was filled with! Aarynn and Eric’s playful relationship was so heartwarming to witness. Aarynn’s family kept everyone laughing the entire time. I love seeing families share such a close and loving dynamic. I wish you two lifetimes of happiness together and I wish you could get married a hundred more times!

Thank you to my bestie Kelly Rashka for being part of my team. You always make everything in my world shine brighter:)

This was my first time photographing the Straak family, but I hope they hire me thousands of more times! They’re getting ready to welcome (mystery) baby number 3 pretty much anytime now! My guess is girl….so we shall see how fine tuned my intuitions are these days. Sawyer and I just get each other. He had to stop the shoot and make his momma look at the moon by turning her face with his hands. Pretty much what I do to everybody. And Mila!!!! She won my heart with her adorable smile and pigtails! Here are some of my favorites, which were hard to narrow down.

Sweet little Paul got baptized at St. Thomas the Apostle church over New Years weekend. It was a beautiful event in a beautiful church. Some tears were shed during photos, but not one during the ceremony! He’s such a doll and loved being a part of this special day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Baby Gavin was the BEST! He slept the whole time AND smiled at me a bunch of times! His big brother Grayson was absolutely amazing! Most siblings his age are not as cooperative. Their daddy is a surgeon so we had to add a few with the stethoscope! Here are some of my favorites.
