Sanchez Family | Lifestyle
I first met the Sanchez clan back last fall when we got together for some family photos. I’ve photographed some way cute kids and these guys are at the top of the list. Little Adrian, quiet Lili and the eldest, Jayden. All of them…super adorable. I was shocked seeing the little man with his crazy head of hair. He had a fauxhawk back last fall and I almost didn’t recognize him! Not to mention how much he’s grown. Dude makes you laugh all the time. The two girls were pretty much the same. Lili has this quiet stubbornness about her. [...]
Happy Birthday | Lifestyle
Jayden turns six in two days…an early happy birthday to her! From a family shoot on Sunday.
Sarah | Senior Portraits
I’ve been impressed lately with the graduating seniors I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this spring. So much talent. Like Sarah here. Plays the violin. Rocking ballet dancer. Full ride to the University of Arizona. Although her dream school is Scripps College in California. Good choice anyways, who wants to live in Tucson right? Sarah is friends with Brianna, another senior I met earlier this year. She brought along her freshman sister Madeline, and you could just feel how close they are to each other. I couldn’t even get them to confess to being normal siblings and annoying each other. [...]
Two | Senior Portraits
Here’s two images from last night’s senior shoot with Sarah! An amazing young lady, super smart, bound for great things.
Brian & Laura | Engagement
I knew photographing the Superstition Mountains a lot would eventually pay off! Brian and Laura are an amazing couple getting getting married on October 27th. They met online, which appears to be how the entire dating world is trending these days, and they are having their wedding at the Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club. They found me by searching for “superstition mountain wedding photographer” and up I popped. You gotta love that. And I love these guys. So fun, laid back and really excited about their wedding. Even Brian. Although his buddy said he had to turn in his man [...]
The McClune family | Lifestyle
I know I’ve said this in the past, but I absolutely love watching families grow through the eye of my camera. Annual photos at Christmas. A new baby joining the mix. Meeting the relatives. All of it is so much fun for me. Now one of my favorite families are the McClunes (yes, I do have a lot of favs!). This past Christmas I took some pictures of April, Mark, Greer and their dog Merton in Chandler, but on Monday I got to meet the rest of Mark’s side. The parents, the brother, his wife and the nephews. They live in [...]
The Lockard family | Lifestyle
This past Friday I met up with the super-cute Lockhard family north of Phoenix. They live in a house that has nothing but desert and rolling hills just outside their frontdoor! Can’t even imagine that view every morning. Not to mention the ease of which to walk up a hill outside, camp out and shoot some lightning photos during the summer! Okay, not everything has to relate to storm chasing, but it can’t always be helped! We started off by taking a walk with little man Hayden in tow in his awesome wagon and then finished up with some time [...]
Brianna | Senior Portraits
It’s been a long time since I was in high school. A long time. In fact, the big two-decade reunion is coming up next year. Yikes. Feels like so long ago. For Brianna though, it’s her final year and the sky is the limit. She loves playing guitar and may attend a college here in town or in California, perhaps the San Francisco area. She doesn’t know yet, which is half the fun of being in her position. Nothing is written, you get to find your path. She showed up for her session with family in tow…older sister down from [...]
Two frames | Senior portraits
I met up with graduating senior Brianna and her family on Friday. Here’s two.
The Hirsch family | Lifestyle
It’s not often I get to hang out with a guy from the National Weather Service, so this shoot was especially fun for me. Matt works at the Phoenix office and I didn’t get to meet him when I had a brief tour during the summer. So it was awesome to chill out with him, Keren, Julian and Emma! No, we didn’t talk about the weather the ENTIRE time, but there was definitely some pretty nerdy moments going on. Emma just recently started sitting up, so Keren wanted to get some family photos. Emma is also quite skilled at cute [...]
