Rachel + Scott | Engaged
I met Rachel over a year ago at a showing she did at our New City Studio gallery for First Friday. She had some killer images of children from Uganda, taken when she was volunteering with Food for the Hungry. We’ve stayed in touch as she continues to learn more and more about photography and hopes to eventually start her own business. Along the way she mentioned something about this boy Scott and the fact they might get married. I was like…that’s awesome! So when is the wedding? She said they weren’t engaged yet, she’d let me know. So I [...]
The Sanchez family
Brandy and her cute family have been doing big store studio photo sessions ever since they had kid number one. But last time out it didn’t go so well, so she wanted to try something different. She asked me to shoot her little boy’s 1-year photos, plus just general family pictures of her other two girls, Jayden and Lili. I am obviously a huge fan of outdoor, lifestyle photography, so I couldn’t have been more excited to show this family how much fun you can have just walking around taking pictures. We ventured down to one of the Rio Salado [...]
The Servin family
The day after Thanksgiving is usually the day everyone goes shopping. For me though, it’s the day I take pictures of the Servin family. I turn 37 in February, which means I’ve been friends with Sam and his family for over 20 years now. Definitely my oldest friend that I still get to see here and there. He was the best man at my wedding and now here we both are married with young kids growing up right before our eyes. I’m so proud of him and his little clan. But that’s not everyone who showed up for picture day. [...]
One shot – Rachel + Scott | Engagement
A single frame from Rachel and Scott’s engagement shoot down in Tucson at the Pima Air and Space Museum. There were a lot of planes there. And this cute couple. Posted another sneak over on my Facebook fan page, check it out, become a fan. More to come.
One shot – Rob and Anna | Wedding
Not that long ago I helped my amazing friend Trevor Dayley shoot Rob and Anna’s wedding. This marked the first time I’d ever second-shot for someone and it was a blast. It’s a great way to hone your skills, practice techniques, learn from a fellow photographer and to just be out there shooting as much as you can. I have my own weddings coming up next year, but also am planning on a few more second-shooting outings as well, so I’m pumped! This wedding was spectacular and Anna looked absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to post the entire wedding because [...]
The Demma family
We’ve know the Demma family for a long time now…but I hadn’t met any of the kids besides the older boy Korver. So it was awesome to get introduced to Glazier and Gianna. The entire family is a good-looking group, but you had to love these kids. The photo above was pretty much all them…in fact, they just kept sitting places, hugging each other, smiling for the camera and making my job a lot easier! And you have to dig the smiling from Korver and Glazier…considering they both possess sizable gaps in their teeth despite being years apart! I believe [...]
Our photos by Session Nine
I heard once that the best thing a photographer can do is to get in front of the camera themselves and see what it’s like. Let’s face it, a lot of us enjoying hanging in the background, taking pictures of people, buildings, mountains…whatever you like, but we never really try hard to let someone take a photo of US. And for those of us who are portrait and wedding photographers…we really should understand what it’s like to be our clients in front of our lenses. Towards the end of this past summer I decided I wanted to get some photos [...]
Chrystal + Patrick | Engagement
Chrystal and Patrick work with my mom…so I am pretty certain I never would have met these guys if it wasn’t for her. And that would have been a shame, because this couple is quickly turning into one of my all-time favorite clients! I mean, look at that photo above, how cute are they? Of course, none of my love for them has to do with the fact that I get to shoot their wedding in Park City, Utah next August. I promise. Okay, maybe a little *smiley face* (are you kidding me? Park City??? Soooo excited!) Seriously though, these two [...]
The Williams family
A few months ago I decided to get in front of the camera for once. I needed some shots of me that I could use for my photography business, but we also needed to update our family photos. As I thought about who I would ask… I wanted someone that we would definitely feel comfortable with but also someone I really admired. Immediately Session Nine Photography came to mind. I just love, love, LOVE their work. I had met them at a First Friday event last year @ New City Gallery and they are amazing, fantastic people. So we booked a shoot with them and [...]
One shot – Chrystal and Patrick
Chrystal and Patrick are getting married in August and I cannot wait to shoot their Park City, Utah wedding! We walked around on Friday night to get some engagement photos and were treated to a gorgeous Arizona sunset. More to come!
