Kerrie called me one evening asking if I was available to shoot her wedding on short notice because her original photographer was moving away and had to cancel. I swooped in to save the day! A couple weeks later we met in person and just hit it off! We had coffee, told many stories and laughed. I felt like I knew her forever and I got super excited for this wedding. They said their I Do’s at a beautiful home on the edge of Mt. Lemmon. The view was spectacular, the people were amazing and the moon was beaming! I’m so incredibly happy that I got the opportunity to meet this amazing couple! The night ended with out of this world karaoke and dancing on top of the world in afros! I hope they get married 100 more times and call me to photograph it.

Thanks to Miss Angie for second shooting with me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remember when Gabriella was in her mommy’s belly! Now she has an adorable little brother to take care of. These two little ones were so well behaved! I could photograph them all day:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh Indy! That smile makes the world go round. My favorite part of our shoot was the hugs I got when he ran towards me! Such a sweetie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took pictures of Crystal (the oldest) when she was about 3 when I worked at Picture People! haaha! Not surprised that the cutest little girl turned into a gorgeous young lady (who is going to graduate high school soon). Landon the second youngest was my little buddy and had a lot to tell me. The Kruse kiddos are seriously the sweetest. All the girls were so helpful with the little dudes. So happy I got to meet them all! Here are some highlights from our mini session.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really lucked out this year and met the most amazing families. This was one of them! Cole and Miele were ready to show me how awesome they are. There were no breaks or time outs. It was go go go! Cole was throwing a football in between shots and Miele ran a few laps. Their smiles were radiating and I just loved hanging out with this adorable family! Here are some of my favorites!

I had way too much fun with these adorable girls. We hit it off right away and they even invited me to dinner! Allison and Madeline are around the same age as my boys. Allison, the 5 year old, told me many interesting stories. Madeline, the 3 year old, had all the energy expected of a 3 year old and she had some lungs on her! She could’ve won the world record for loudest scream! I hope to hang out with this family for many years to come!

Love love love these kids. I can’t believe I was at the hospital when Ysa, the oldest, was born. Michael still held back his real smile, but warmed up quicker then last year, and Charlotte was the entertainment! She wants a dog for Christmas momma!! haaha!

Little Finn…..What a perfect little human being. I am so happy for the growing Allie Family! Cayden was such a sweet big brother. He was so gentle and loving and had a natural smile when he was close to his baby. Finn’s nursery was the CUTEST!! In fact their entire house was adorable! Might have to hire Alicia to decorate my house someday;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vanessa and Jason were such a joy to work with. They said their vows at Reflections at the Buttes.
Vanessa’s smile lit up every room she entered. This crowd really new how to party! Their cake was made by Nadine’s Bakery, flowers by Everygreen Flowers, and amazing second shooting by Angelina Ulibarri.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I met Kim a few years ago at a wedding I was shooting and she was coordinating. Her and her hubby Mike… (and I) have been wishing and praying for this little miracle to enter their lives for so long. Sophia was about 4 weeks early when Kim and Mike got the call that they were going to be parents! They waited a very long time to hear those words. Sophia is so very blessed to have 2 adoptive parents that will love and cherish her like their own and Mike and Kim are just as blessed

to have this sweet angel in their lives. They deserve it so very much.
