  I finally did it. I broke-up with the DVD. This has been such a longggg time coming. I’ve kept my eye on a cloud service called PASS for awhile now, but could never quite commit. I loved packaging my sweet little DVD’s and knowing my clients were going to receive a beautifully wrapped gift […]

Is it wrong to say that TJ and Becca have been one of my favorite couples to work with all year??!! Well, it’s entirely true. Becca is the sweetest girl who’s smile, complete with dimples, lights up a room. TJ is kind and only makes that dimpled grin shine all the more. They made our […]

  Taking delight in and praise for The Simple Things in life. Small things bringing me joy this week: Josh Garrels’ Pandora station. The perfect calming mix as background music for editing, as well as plugs in a few old hymns here and there to enliven the heart. Andy and I are thinking of moving […]

My favorite combination of nail polish as of late. Had to quickly do the nails before last Saturday’s wedding and I loved the result with this duo! Small things bringing me joy this week: Last week I shared how one of my best friends got engaged. I was overjoyed when I met her at one of […]

Was the first time I used a point and shoot to capture memories from the day in about 5 years. That felt weird. A new rustic cream and sugar set (on clearance at Starbucks) to complement […]

We sat down, talked about the wedding, their jobs, and their sweet baby Asher who joined us. I couldn’t be […]

Yesterday marked an exciting day as I waited for the Spring Lookbook of Neiman Marcus to finally arrive. Why? Because CMP is in it! Yup, that right…see for yourself! A couple months ago Butter & Me bakeshop in Scottsdale approached me about shooting a photo of their beautifully designed spring cupcake that was carefully selected […]

Katelyn is graduating this spring from her undergrad at Biola University. I was thrilled when the McNeely Family told me they had another reason for me to photograph for them (remember Abbee and Justin’s engagement session at Tempe Beach Park?). I kinda/sorta stalked Katelyn via facebook leading up to our session (we had never actually […]

Stop by and think “WOW!” what happened here? Well friends, lots of hard work, many gracious and talented people, and lots of growing in learning myself. I’ve been dreaming of bringing a new look to CMP since early last year, and am overwhelmed to see this happen today with the blog. I love that my […]
