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 was my first of several styled engagement sessions, a.k.a. sweetheart sessions, coming up where I will be involved with styling the outfits, hair, makeup, location, etc. These images will be featured in a product that I am really excited to announce… an ENGAGEMENT STYLE GUIDE!! 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Check out this adorable couple, so completely natural in front of the camera and head-over-heels in love. After they told me that they met in undergrad while they were studying at the University of Arizona, I knew photographing their engagement session close to the campus would be perfect! Beyond thrilled to capture your wedding in […]
Fall leaves. Puppy love. And a beer picnic. They got engaged in January at her best friend’s cabin in New Mexico where they went hiking to an underground cave with a huge hole in the top where a waterfall froze into a 6ft tall icicle, which beneath, Doug asked her to be his forever. Words […]
When Jack and Brittani told me that they would love to go on a hike for their engagement session, I couldn’t be more excited! We drove up to the top of Mount Lemmon, then hiked to get to one of their favorite paths and when Tucson was hitting just over 100 degrees, we were blessed […]
A beautiful Spring day in Tucson. Two adorable pups. Two wonderful people totally in love. Pretty much the perfect combo for a downtown engagement session with Madison and Alex. And finishing up the session with cherry dipped ice cream cones from Dairy Queen was truly the cherry on top! Madison and Alex brought along their cute pups […]
It was SO much fun shooting these two who came down to Kansas City from Michigan for Thanksgiving break and their engagement session! They are both finishing up their residency at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan and Victor is also a talented photographer. It was super chilly out but luckily we found some […]

Nicole and Garrett went on a vacation with her family in Kauai, Hawaii this past April and wanted to go take pictures on the beach… as they were walking down the beach looking for a good place for a photo-op, Garrett nervously got down on one knee and he proposed!! Nicole’s mom and sister were […]
