This blog shows my favorites from my session with the Winfield Family and also includes details of my recently announced Maternity Leave. PLEASE READ for details.

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 […]

What an amazing family. I have so much to say about them I considered writing this blog before we even did the shoot because I already have so much I want to share! Ned and Lisa are some of the most open-hearted people I have ever met. They truly live a life open to others […]

If I could describe this family in three words they would be: exciting, connected and positive. Exciting because they aren’t just excited themselves but they have a certain energy that they transfer to others. In the way they talk and interact. It makes you like every moment is an opportunity.
