More Than Just Pretty Pictures—This Is Where Stories Live.

What do you do when a wave of rain and wind hits mid ceremony? You laugh and take it all in. That’s exactly what Kevin and Nikki did this past weekend at their Cherry Creek Lodge Wedding. There was nothing that could dampen their joy. In fact, I don’t think I saw Nikki’s face without […]

Many of Michael and Amy’s big moments as a couple have had to do with National, State, and local parks, so when it came time to pick their wedding venue it only felt natural to pick a park. And, when your last name means “Head of Bridge”…could you really pick a more fitting spot to […]

There are times when a couple or family only need a part of a wedding day photographed and I was so happy I could jump in and capture this Gilbert, AZ Backyard Wedding Reception for Porter & Ashley! Rain threatened off and on all day, but everyone just kept their fingers crossed and it worked […]

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.

Green Valley Park in the heart of town is the perfect place for Payson family photos. The Payne family came to town for family photos and we loved walking around the park, rolling down the hills, and looking at the ducks that are always there. We’ve done Jackie and Andrew’s family photos on their family […]

1. How long will it take until I have my photos back? 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 […]
