Rob and Anna | Wedding
Back in October I helped my good friend and photog extraordinaire Trevor Dayley shoot Rob and Anna’s wedding. I was so blessed to be a part of this event, not only because it was fantastic to hang out with Trevor for a few hours, but also the wedding itself was absolutely beautiful. I always want to tell a story with my wedding posts, but since I was only helping Trevor for this one, I didn’t get to find out too much about Rob and Anna. I do know they constantly get asked how old they are since they both look [...]
The Ross family
I went to high school with Melanie…which was…yeah, a long time ago. We didn’t run in the same circles really, but she has always been one of my favorite people that I remember from high school. She and her friend Lori were short, cute and the nicest people that you’d ever meet. They were almost like twins. They were always together. And they had a unique way about them…like standing out in front of the school just waving at people as they drove up. Not just a normal wave, but like they were in a beauty pageant or something. I [...]
The Kruckenberg family
Photographing the Kruckenberg fam is always a treat because…well, look at ‘em. Nothing but cuteness everywhere. Yeah, even Brian, whatever, I said it. We’ve known this family for a long time now. Brian is the pastor at the church we attend called New City in downtown Phoenix. In fact, a large part of the reason we live downtown in the first place was to help that church get going. It’s been awesome to watch what is happening with it and how it’s growing. They’ve been huge in our lives and we love them to pieces. Tuesday evening we hooked up [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
One shot – Jason and Cruz
Jason with his little man Cruz. Love these guys. More to come from the entire Williams family. Mike
The Johnson family
When you are lucky enough to photograph the same families every year, it’s kind of fun to see how things change. Like with the Johnson family here. Last year baby Aly was a bundle of joy and sat there for an eternity letting me take pictures. And little Nick wanted nothing to do with me. This year, the opposite. Nick was a superstar model. He pretty much wanted to be in every picture. Aly? Well, she had her own agenda. I do love this family though. As I mentioned in the Nakamura post this week, Dave and Meribeth used to [...]
April, Mark, Greer and Merton
This shoot was a special one, for a couple of reasons, but mostly for how it ended. Sometimes things don’t always work out how you imagined. The goal was to get a photo of little man Greer with the elderly statesmen of the house, Merton…a fantastic dog of 13 years. And other photos of course. Hopefully a nice Christmas card would be made with a boy and his dog. I had ideas of the perfect pose, exactly what I wanted. So did mom and dad. But for whatever reason, poor Greer wasn’t feeling too great right before the shoot. Mom [...]
