This is dear, sweet Melissa and David. Let me tell you, it takes a special pair to endure with so much patience and grace the obstacles we had facing us during this session. With unforeseen weather (I learned a valuable lesson about apple weather reports!), we had to relocate our shoot after driving miles out-of-town, only to report to […]

Friends, can you believe 2015 is coming to a close? I heard on the radio today that we have less than 36 hours (at the time of it’s playing) left of the year. I can hardly believe it! I’m so thrilled and a little bit anxious (I’ll explain later) to share this year’s recap with […]

Valerie and Tom celebrated a gorgeous day at North Phoenix’s Different Pointe of View at the Hilton Tapatio Cliffs last month!

Jenna and Ben celebrated a classically elegant wedding day at the gorgeous, exclusive Silverleaf Club in Scottsdale last month. With Tuscan-inspired architecture and florals by a favorite, the.Flori.Culture, it was a breath-taking day! Jenna is the sweetest, most gentle bride–a woman who’s internal beauty surely matches her external. Ben is a chilvarous and kind-hearted man, […]

Kristen and Jared celebrated a gorgeous, joy-filled wedding at Desert Foothills Events last month, surrounded by a lively group of their most intimate friends and family members from all over the country.

Kristen and Matt are a sweet pair! Kristen has a devoted passion for the Fall season so we drove to gorgeous Oak Creek Canyon to capture true fall colors and bask in the cooler temps.

Steeped rich with culture from their Jewish heritage and surrounded by an affectionate crowd of family and friends, Gabi and Jeff wed at the gorgeous Sanctuary Resort last month. They share a genuine, joyful love–these two are honest friends. What was perhaps so touching about their wedding day was not only witnessing their promise and commitment to each […]

I love this cheerful, happy bunch! Andrew and Emily are dear new friends this year and it was an honor to capture their little family last month.

It’s such an honor to grace the pages of SMP again this year! This time we are proud to show off Valerie and Tom’s incredible engagement session near Canyon Lake. With the beautiful light, a storm rolling in, and these two lovebirds in front of the lens how could you go wrong? We are so honored […]
