One of my favorite things about family photos is when the outfits are perfectly coordinated. Choosing two or three main colors that go well together is definitely the way to go and Deanna did such a great job making it all work together! It’s always such an honor when another photographer asks you to do […]

One year ago I photographed this family who was new to Tucson and this year they are back and SJ is getting sooo big! I love watching families and their kiddos growing up year after year! We went to a wash in Tucson to capture the beautiful desert Arizona has to offer. My favorite part […]

I can’t believe it was 3 years ago when I last photographed this beautiful family! I’ve loved keeping up with my brother-in-law and his family even though we have moved far away to Arizona. I get to spend about a month in Kansas City this fall and I was so excited for them to meet […]

There is something magical about the sunlight as it first peeks out over the mountains early in the morning… it is soft and dreamy and it was the perfect setting for Stephanie and Michael’s desert engagement session here in Tucson, Arizona! We did a short little hike up the mountains so we could catch the […]

Just south of Tucson is the cutest little venue just outside of Tubac, Arizona called Agua Linda Farm. Sarah and Matt’s vision for their wedding was country chic with a color palette of soft peach and pink with green succulents. And bouquets were hand made with silk flowers by the bride herself! Their wedding day […]

OUR STORY: Once upon a time, this football player spotted a cheerleader during a community fair on the central lawn of their college campus in a small suburb of Kansas City. Cody wanted to go up and talk to her, but instead, being the shy and modest man he is, decided to message Tina on […]

Fields of beautiful horses. Baby’s breath. Plum dresses. And the whole town coming to your wedding. What an absolutely perfect summer weekend for Joe and Sara’s wedding in Sykeston, North Dakota.

When I was 39 weeks pregnant with my baby girl, I assisted my friend Amber Lea Photography at Jason and Betsi’s romantic wedding at Park Ave in downtown Tucson, Arizona. My main job for the day was to focus on all the little details (which I LOVE!) and here are some of my favorite images […]

Ryan and Anna-Alyse met as undergrads during the summer of 2009 while attending the University of Arizona. So naturally, we took their engagement photos at the U of A, where I really enjoyed getting to know this sweet couple. While Anna-Alyse likes to joke and say Ryan sure was “one cocky…,” he knew he had […]

I can’t get over how in love I am with these intimate, backyard weddings. Molly and Ian’s wedding took place in his parent’s backyard in Tucson, Arizona with the most perfect weather for the occasion. They had one of the most emotional and heart-touching sunset ceremony and it was perfectly pieced together by their wedding […]
