Last October I met Soley and David as guests at Brittany and John’s wedding, and then this January, I had the distinct pleasure of being one of a few witnesses at their Tucson courthouse wedding ceremony. Not only did I get to meet the family members closest to them, but also it was the beginning […]

What can I say… Kathya and Henry were an absolute JOY to work with during their Arizona desert engagement session. Do they not have the most contagious smiles?? You can feel the genuine laughter just looking at that first photo! It is a fun challenge for me to get a couple to relax and look […]

They’ve known each other for 14 years. This past December Danny proposed to Grace on a hike on the top of the McDowell mountains in Phoenix. And last week I had the distinct pleasure of photographing the first them the first time they’ve ever been in front of the camera together. Squinched noses and cheek […]

Are Chanel and Eddie not the cutest?! You can immediately see their genuine connection and how they make each other smile. I loved shooting this Tucson Desert Engagement Session in the wash behind the house where she grew up, and the house wherein less than 3 weeks they will be pledging their marriage vows to one another. […]

The Engagement Session (a.k.a. a Sweetheart Session) is one of my favorite parts of our time together because it gives you both a chance to be in front of my camera before you get married, which is going to make your wedding day experience feel so smooth, seamless and comfortable. Not only that, but we […]

Luke’s proposal to Dominique is one to remember! “He proposed to me on Christmas Eve…since it was cold and a storm was coming, he decided to organize a day for just us up on Mt. Lemmon. Luke “last minute” suggested to bring my camera so we could take some cute couple photos and me, being […]

These Tucson engagement photos were SO fun to photograph, and if you don’t know Ryan and Cassidy’s story you are in for a treat! They have actually known each other since they were newborns, he was only 1 and a half and she was just 4 months old, when their fathers shared a cubical at Raytheon. Their families […]

I was so excited to get these two in front of my camera for this Tucson Engagement session! We had so much fun, and I can’t wait for their Spring wedding. I just adore the beginning to their love story… After years of going to the same high school, Eric and Kristina finally met when […]

Monica and Cesar met when they were just kids, and after years of being apart, fate brought these two back together. Their chemistry and love is unmatched and I loved hearing their stories of constantly relying on one another through whatever life throws at them. I really enjoyed spending time getting to know the two […]

What an incredible trip this was!! I keep dreaming of going back to this San Diego and shooting again every single day. My sister Kat Collett, a.k.a. the other half of my dream team, flew out from Kansas City to be Aleen’s personal stylist, who glammed up her hair and makeup for their beach engagement […]

After dating for 9 years, John proposed to Brittany in Disneyland in front of the giant Mickey Pumpkin because they love Disneyland and she loves Halloween (plus! they’re also getting married the weekend before Halloween, exactly one year after their engagement!). They got it captured on camera and were treated like royalty by all the Disneyland […]

I had only “met” Sarah on the phone prior to their engagement session because these two live all the way up in Alaska (where they are currently experiencing negative 20 degree weather but also the wonderful display of the Northern Lights, whoa!). I could tell right away that we were going to be a great fit […]

Sarah and Craig’s sweetheart session was in the rolling hills of the Tucson mountains with the dreamiest golden light! I love that they found me searching on Google too, how cool! Sarah got her dress from my *favorite* store, Windsor. It is flowy and long-sleeved with a plunging neckline, all flattering features for what to wear […]

Whenever I start to miss the midwest, I step outside on a winter day and realize how blessed we are to have such gorgeous weather in the middle of February! The desert did not disappoint for Ross and Kara’s sweetheart session in the Tucson mountains. I loved coaching them into these super cute poses, aiming […]

I can’t even begin to tell you what I wonderful day I had with these two for their sweetheart session in Kansas City! Of course, I love my hometown and what’s a better way to show off this city than to take photos at several of the famous landmarks. We went to the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum, the […]
