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.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Roman | Newborn
This was a first for me. I shot Dee and Iuliana’s wedding back on January 1st, 2011. Almost a year later, little man Roman was born and I got to meet him last Sunday. Stuff like this makes me love what I do. Being able to tell stories through photos over time. So awesome. Now Roman was born back on December 11th and usually when you photograph a newborn, it’s best in the first 10 days because they sleep all the time and pretty much will just lay there for you. But Roman was born three weeks early, so I [...]
Meet Roman | Newborn
One year and eight days ago I photographed the wedding of Dee and Iulia. Yesterday I took some pictures of their brand new baby boy Roman. He literally slept the entire time. More to come.
The Carusone family
I love, love, love referrals and so I want to thank my friends Joel and Kim for passing my name on to the Carusone family! We met up Sunday in Tempe to get some updated family photos. Although…we were supposed to have met up a few weeks prior, but suddenly there was a massive triathalon going on that day, so we had to reschedule. Dena loves this area around the Tempe Center for the Arts and really wanted to have their photos taken with it as the backdrop. Had a blast with these guys. The three brothers, Erik, Logan and [...]
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 [...]
