Sometimes you just have to get out there and create something just for yourself. A little project with too many talented local creatives that I’m blessed to call friends is coming…not soon enough <3

I love this little family. It’s always crazy to me when I think about the story of how Stacy and I met. First, over social media, when I started following her just-starting-to-blossom photography business as I was building mine. Then, over a year later, when Andy got a new job that required that we find […]

  Last year I started the tradition of photographing my family’s yearly family photos. All year long I meet so many wonderful people and have the immeasurable joy of getting to photograph their lives. The idea came when I realized I was missing out on getting to capture those memories for some of the people […]

I’ve been growing a few plants as of late. Buying packs of fresh herbs every week gave me the realization that attempting to nurture a few little plants may have a real financial reward in the end.  Just hoping they stay alive long enough to make the investment worth it :). Regardless, I love plucking […]

I’m blessed with too many dear, sweet friends in this industry.

With an all-outdoor celebration, every bride’s worst nightmare is the chance of rain. Well, the […]

Mallory & Marcos have been married a year now, and part of their celebration was, you guessed it, having a photoshoot! Personally, I’m such a fan. I believe your love should be captured at all stages of your relationship, not just when it starts. I loved our mini shoot out at Papago Park–one of my […]

Food picture this week, in honor of all my new cravings and a slight obsession with specific foods as of late :).  Small things bringing me joy this week: Playing boggle around the dinner table  on a free night with hubby and my mother-in-law.  Being in the desert for another sunset this weekend. Truly, photography […]

These two celebrated a lovely, lovely wedding day at one of my favorites, the Windmill Winery, on a most perfect October day. Erin and Andrew are laid back, adventurous, and…too cute for words. I loved Erin’s dimpled smile that came to life as we snapped romance portraits during golden hour and Andrew looked upon his […]
