Elizabeth & Shane married on a gorgeous, cloudy, windy March day at the Windmill Winery’s finest Lakehouse. I loved Elizabeth’s vision: an untraditional gray gown and celtic hints weaved throughout the celebration. Such a joy was witnessing this family coming together (seriously, get ready to see some truly sweet kiddos!) through Shane & Elizabeth’s marriage. Thank-you […]

As a last engagement session before baby leave, spending an evening with Chrissy & Matthew (all the way from CA!) in our stunning Arizona spring desert was a treat. These two are so fun, and seeing them interact easily brings a smile because these two are clearly friends. Way too fun to hear their newfound passion with […]

Sweet Kristen & Billy chose the lovely Farm at South Mountain as the perfect lush backdrop for their engagement session. Billy only makes delicate Kristen look all the more angelic wrapped up in his arms, and seeing the love of these two unfold in front of my camera was such a delight. How so very evident […]

It is something truly special to get to share your passion with the people you love. I’ve known Beth since we were both 13, spending every weekend and multiple nights a week in the dance studio perfecting our art and always reaching for that next level. She motivated me, taught me a lot about hard […]

These two on a semi-cloudy late afternoon combined with the gentletest of breezes equaled absolute perfection for their engagement session at the Farm at South Mountain late last week. Sweet Alyssa has a laughter like delicate bells chiming sweet notes, and Austin appropriately refers to her as his “sunshine.” To me, she’s my closest opportunity […]

I first heard of Angelic Magazine via instagram when some friends were showing content they had shot for the magazine. A Christian editorial on fashion & music??! I knew, one day, I’d love to be apart. When the magazine posted a casting call to fill the slot of a few photographers from the three different […]

Oh. My. I have been waiting for this moment; the moment when it would come time to share Jenna+Daniel’s outrageously gorgeous wedding day. Just two weeks ago they tied the knot at the Windmill Winery’s Lakehouse with an incredible team of wedding professionals making the whole event spectacular. But, wayyy more importantly, these two joined […]

You know you’ve arrived at a special day when you get a phone call from a referral from your very own wedding photographer. It was a celebration when Kacey Luvi told sweet Laura & Todd about me and we got to planning their engagement session as they  were visiting Phoenix from Iowa for a few […]

Jackie+Christien are engaged! Christien popped the question just before Christmas making Jackie a beaming, lovely lady and they are tying the knot in just a few months time. I was beyond honored to get to photograph the love of these two, and am even more blessed to call them friends. Jackie is an ambitious individual […]

I love writing these reflective year posts (you can view part 1, Best of 2013 here, and last years’ reflection here.) I think it’s so important to look back at where you’ve come from, and take the time to celebrate it, before looking forward again. Highlights of 2013 Bigger and better publications. So awed to see […]
