this preserve is just south of downtown you can see warehouses and skyscrapers from the parking lot but once you’re on the path you’re tucked into a little nature bubble and there are butterflies, and even a tiny waterfall. can you believe it a natural waterfall in phoenix, arizona, the hottest city in the US?!
Read Morewe hung out for a bit at a nature preserve while i snapped a few images with this multigenerational family session. i always tell people to bring their parents and extended family to sessions if they want to. i price my photography services by hour, meaning you’re buying my time and we can co-create whatever we want during that time.
Read Morei don’t suggest matching outfits but damn this family did it right, the dresses and two piece sets are all just a bit different with the same fabric and i’m obsessed. wild child sisters with shorts because listen girlfriend was definitely the first to climb trees and of course she needed shorts.
Read Moreused to be a “natural light photographer.” See also; Someone who doesn’t know how to use her off body flash very well. *PSA: your photog should be comfortable in any lighting circumstance* Over the years and many (many) weddings later I feel super confident using flash in literally any situation.

Read MoreI photographed this gorgeous couple outside of a high school. a HIGH SCHOOL. Normally, my interest in architecture is saved for the big fancy buildings ornate or historic. Bit this window at sunset caught my eye, the salmon walls and golden flares were screaming at me

Read MoreThis was a 30 minute half sesh! We had a blast running around and enjoying taking photos at the Phoenix Mountain Preserves. This mountain trail is in the heart of Phoenix, I know a lot of photographers don’t share their best shoot locations, but I know every photographer sees something different.
Read MoreYellow is my color. It’s solar plexus chakra activated. It’s stepping into my power. I took the opportunity to use the florals to play and profesh. I needed new images of my self for my site and branding these feel inline with my current creative expression. I asked the husband to jump into a shot with me. He just finished changing my oil so I can drive safely to a wedding this weekend. Acts of service is my love language (incoming). Anyway. Too many to narrow down as usual. Always accepting constructive feedback.
Read MoreI loved all the details of the day, specifically the list on the fridge of chores, and reminders. I love to see the inner workings of a couple, how they communicate, share responsibility and coordinate with each other. We see a lot of wedding days but to get a glimpse at their marriage is a true honor and privilege.

This post is probably one of my most complete blog post galleries for a full look and feel of what to expect from me when I’m documenting at a wedding through photography.
Read MoreIt’s pretty interesting to look back at old work, this wedding was shot with PMA Photography back in February of 2019. I love these images but the editing is less than desirable, at least for most, I don’t mean to be so critical of my work but I guess what I’m trying to say is that we just keep getting better and better each time we do something.
Read MoreI love witnessing wedding days (or being a wedding day stalker as I say). I love hanging out with the bride and groom all day. I love hearing the stories the parents tell with toasts. I love when the best man makes everyone blush on the dance floor. I love being a contributor to the whole ceremony and working with all the vendors to make it come together.
Read MoreI’m always honored to witness and hear stories of my couples; this beautiful couple have been friends for over thirty years before they finally realized they were meant to be. What a magical story.
