Ethan and Emaleah’s Payson AZ Engagement Session was probably the windiest session I’ve ever done here in Payson. Not quite the windiest ever, but probably top 5. And let me tell you what: these two are tough, take such good care of each other, were so patient as we worked to find the light AND […]

All portrait galleries will be delivered within 4 weeks of final payment or the session date (whichever date is later), and all wedding galleries will be delivered within 8 weeks of the final payment date or wedding date. HOWEVER, I always strive to […]

Vanessa is hard working, fun, and friendly. I could feel the happiness […]
