Ooooh swoon!! How adorable are Natalie and Travis?! It feels like just yesterday we were shooting their baby, Kyson’s newborn lifestyle session. But THIS shoot was all about them! And they’re obviously super in love and we had tons of fun exploring the desert around their neighborhood together. For this shoot, I wanted to challenge myself by shooting at noon. That’s right, […]

This will be available to all future clients to them to reference for their […]

Sunday morning, I made an impromptu decision to join some of my Tucson clickin’ chicks for a stylized elopement photoshoot out in the desert, with a four hour drive out to the sand dunes in Glamis, California, just past Yuma, Arizona. It was a great time to bond with my new friends and explore one of God’s beautiful creations. I […]
Being a mom has pulled me, stretched me, and grown me more than I ever thought possible. And it’s ONLY BEEN 9 MONTHS since Kinsley was born. I had always heard that you never know how much love is truly in your heart until you have a child. Well that’s 100% true. It has made […]
A couple of days ago, I got the strangest voicemail… The guy even started it with a little giggle behind his voice saying, “this is kind of an odd phone call for you, but I met somebody on Tinder last night here in Charleston, South Carolina who I think may be using your profile and some of your […]
Erin and Travis’ vision for their wedding was a rustic country theme and The Journey Home was the perfect all-inclusive venue. Their ceremony was held on the lawn overlooking beautiful trees and fields and the reception was in an open-air barn adjacent to the yard. Every detail was special to them: her mother’s veil, her grandmother’s pearl necklace, wood accents cut from Erin’s parents’ […]
When I was in college, I had the opportunity to spend some a week with my grandmother in her hometown, Pilot Grove, Missouri. Visiting a small town for the first time was definitely an experience. Everyone was so friendly and neighbors actually went outside and talked to each other. I got to see where she played outside […]
I’ve had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Alex and Jake over the past couple of years after meeting in the young adult group Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene. I seriously doubt I’ve laughed more during a photoshoot than at their engagement session. They are about as cute as cute can be together and despite being […]
Elegance, romance, glitz, and glam. Lindsey and JJ’s fairytale wedding had a soft color palate of blush pink, charcoal, light grays, taupe, and sparkles abound. Romantic florals of roses and peonies complimented the candle lit decor. JJ took Lindsey to Disneyland the day after he proposed to her, so incorporating a modern Cinderella theme was a must! The Gallery Golf Club, nestled […]
I had the pleasure of meeting Joe and Stephanie on the day they got engaged at her sister’s wedding last fall and I got to capture the whole thing! Joe came up to me earlier in the day, shaking with nerves and excitement as he quietly told me that he would be proposing to his true love that […]
Here’s a tip that completely changed my life. Okay, that was a little dramatic. Well not my whole life, but I definitely got some of my time back 🙂 This is not my own original idea, it was a little trick I learned one of my favorite photographers, Katelyn James and something I am very […]
Watching these two commit the rest of their lives together was a beautiful occasion. Mike’s aunt, Amy, officiated their wedding. Near the end of the ceremony, the couple surprised everyone by incorporating a special moment with both of their mothers. Before Mike and Steph shared their first kiss as husband and wife, they wanted to […]
Tucson’s “winter” has actually been quite chilly this year, but for Lindsey and JJ’s engagement session, it just so happened to be a perfect, sunny day! We met at one of my favorite restaurants in Tucson, Amalour Revival Lounge (try their prickly pear tea… it’s amaazzing!) for drinks and a chance to catch up ever […]
When your wedding theme is FIESTA, how can it be anything but an amazing good time?! And what a perfect day it turned out to be. They got married in the backyard of her best friend Deanna’s parents’ home near Bear Canyon in Tucson, Arizona with the Catalina Mountains serving as the perfect backdrop. Since […]
