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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These two were a dream. They approached me with the biggest, warmest smiles. They were playful and were laughing the entire time! It’s couples like Missy and Pat that renews my faith in love! Here are a few favorites from our time at Sabino Canyon. It was such a beautiful evening!!

Sweet little Landon is 17 months old. He’s full of energy, very independent, and is super ticklish! I had so much fun exploring downtown with these two handsome guys.

Well I wanted to post every single image from this gallery, but I narrowed it down! Rory was the sweetest little man. He has two puppy protectors who wanted in on the photo fun, and he had a nursery to die for! This home was filled with so much love. So grateful to spend the morning with this beautiful family.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sonoita has a special place in my heart. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it, so naturally I was super happy to get asked to shoot this amazing wedding. Paul and Shelby rented out the Last Stand Guest Ranch and said their I Do’s by a beautiful lake surrounded by horses. The reception was in the barn and it was all  so charming and intimate. The family did an amazing job decorating. They had giant Jenga, and corn hole, but the kids took it all over and just had bean bag fights and built buildings with the Jenga pieces. The sky was breathtaking and I couldn’t have wished for a sweeter couple. Thanks to Alexis for coming along, being my navigator, and getting some beautiful photos!

I have to give Elena a huge high five for being such a trooper. She climbed up a mountain at Gates Pass in a huge ball gown and heels. Not many people can say they’ve done that before. She’s getting ready to celebrate her Quinceanera so we did some fun portraits of her…and a few of her brothers and cousins:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always get excited about photographing newborns, but I have even more anticipation to meet sweet little ones when I did maternity photos for momma. Baby Demi came a little early, but was perfect in every way! Mom and dad are big U of A fans so I had Kelly from Sarah Bow design an adorable U of A headband….along with a few others she gave me! Baby Demi also modeled a crocheted headband from Bundle Bowtique.
