When this family wanted creative family photos, I knew exactly the location to make their vintage bikes shine. Literally. We put them in full sun and the glare hit hard! We also incorporated the disco ball for full Arizona sun flares…

When Nicholle and I started chatting about creating a unique photoshoot experience for her family, I knew I wanted to use the shopping cart I found. Nicholle thrifted each outfit and I would give feedback - y’all it felt so good to work with a client who trusted my creative visions. The kids helped set up the shopping cart which by the way is my favorite way to include the kiddos. Here’s what we shot.…

I wanted to try something new for this family session. Mom is an award winning writer, so I knew I wanted it to connect to journalism and words. I think this vintage yet modern newspaper session captures the family perfectly.

we had fun while i taught the older daughter how to use my camera, she even snapped a picture of mom and dad and sis at the end. i don’t usually include a lot of props but for my mini sessions or half sessions i like to include something fun and of course all kids love shiny objects so the trendy disco ball made its way to the session.

we 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.

i 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.

used 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.

Sometimes I feel like my work isn’t good enough, I’m not like other photographers I look up to, but then I remember I’m not here to emulate something that’s already been done by someone else. I’m here to connect to my clients….

This 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.

It has been such a blessing to watch this beautiful family grow over the past few years, and I still can’t believe I’ve been given the opportunity to document each new addition in their life. Look at this family and how much they love their new baby brother.

I had the honor of not only photographing this mom-to-be but also adorning her belly in henna. 💛✨🌙 Pregnancy is such a sacred time & Henna is a sacred connection plant. I tell people all the time it brings people together who need to be together. The connections it’s formed and the bonds it’s created is nothing short of magic. I hope this mama feels so blessed.

The kids didn’t stop moving the entire time and we were chasing after the balloons. Two lessons I learned at this session; mothers take photographs with your teenage sons, please I’m begging they’re only going to let you pinch their cheeks for so long. & two get the balloons and the fluffy dress, dance in the street!

If you have a sibling you know the chaos that ensued during your childhood, you know the fights and the fun you had day in and day out. So when Melissa asked me to capture her wild childs as they are right now I obviously said yes!

Here’s a peek at their half sesh!

Part of my process is to take a few minutes to get to know my clients and what they’re about. For this family I learned the dad’s favorite soccer team won a championship the year he was born, haven’t won again since, until this year when his son was born. I love the decor of the nursery and all the detail this mama put into baby’s new space. And of course I love it when the family includes their fur babies in the photos.

I love when strong powerful women in my life make new humans because I know they’re gonna grow up strong like their mama. Justine is a local bakery owner and her partner is one of the funniest kindest people I’ve ever worked with. After all their challenges to become a family of three, I was so honored she trusted me to document her new family together and healthy.
