Every Christmastime I get a few people who ask me what to buy for someone who is interested in photography. Whether it be themselves or a family member they want to know the best place to start. I get it. Photography is a big world and there are SO many opinions and ideas out there […]

What a beautiful family! It was so fun to photograph the Peña family this weekend. The weather in Tonto was beautiful and the sky was clear. While I’m editing these I’m watching a Christmas movie on Netflix. I’m not much for watching movies, even while editing, EXCEPT at Christmas. This year I have watched The […]

I love this family so much. They are part of our church family and have always made us feel welcome and loved from the very first weeks we moved here! I remember Ruth encouraging me when Brighten was first born and telling me about her experience with having her oldest daughter and how special it […]

Hey! It’s that time of year! And you know I have to practice what I preach! Here are my favorites from our very own family photos. A big thank you to Justin Miller aspiring photographer for helping out with the shots that include both Trent and I. I see great things ahead in your photography […]

It’s so fun to have families that come back each year and to see them and how they have grown and changed. It’s such an honor that after last year, my first year doing their family portraits, they asked me AGAIN! It makes me feel like I must be doing something right when people come […]

It has been so fun to watch this family grow! What genuine kind people and what cute kids they make too! This year we went to the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert. I know some photographers shy away from shooting there because it can be over crowded but it’s a convenient location with a short drive […]

Ok, it is a miracle that this Blog is up. I’m not even saying that because it’s the popular time of year for family photos and this is a double blog week (even though it is that too). So here is the story: Sage got out of bed or fell out of bed or something. […]

One of my favorite families :). Justin use to be our pastor at church and I volunteered with Amy in the children’s ministry so we have become so close with them. They’re the kind of Jesus-People that make other people want to be Jesus-People because they so effortlessly show how it makes their lives better. […]

This has been such a fun series to review my personal favorites from different categories over the past years. It has definitely been a trip down memory lane and it makes me realize how may friendships I have thanks to photography. I once heard it said that weddings are the marathon of photography. The amount […]

How it all started: (the long version, buckle up.) I thought it would be fun to look back at some of my favorite images in each category over the past few years. I started photography in February 2019. When I say that I knew nothing I mean it! I had no clue what I was […]
