I’m always down to try something new. It was fun to try a studio backdrop with a full family. Typically I only do them for mini sessions and that is usually only with kids (even though I always try to encourage parents to hop in there too)! I just love Lisa so much and her […]

I did NOT want to take family photos this year. Don’t get me wrong- I wanted family photos of our family this year… I just didn’t want to have them taken. And it’s not that I didn’t want to be in them… I just didn’t want to look the way that I do in them […]

Hudson’s birth story: On Monday night light but consistent contractions started at around 8 pm They continued till around 1 am when labor picked up a little more. Regular contractions continued through the night until around the time the girls wake up and then things stalled. I tried to sleep a lot that day since […]

What a special time in life! I know for me, I dreamed of serving a mission from the time I was a little girl. My aunt had gone to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in Korea and I was always fascinated to hear all her stories of teaching people about Jesus Christ for the […]

By the time this is posted there is a very good chance that baby Benally will be born! I was so happy and honored when Keiko reached out to me about taking some maternity photos of her and Marvin and I am so so glad we were able to schedule them for a quick session […]

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 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. […]
