Hey there! Welcome to The Blog!
This is the place where I get to share photos from sessions with amazing people, like you, tips for a smooth wedding, our family "Wilderness Mowers" adventures in frugal living and exploring where we live, and plenty of fun and real life. Start scrolling or click a category on the side to dive in!
You know a couple has to be awesome to be willing to meet up in the forest for their Payson Engagement Photos, and then follow their photographer another 30 minutes down dirt roads to get to the location. Chris and Sam were absolutely delightful! I loved getting to introduce them to one of our favorite […]
Allie and Dan’s Desert Botanical Garden Engagement Photos in Phoenix are definitely on my favorites list! These two handled the 105 degree weather like champs and the desert glowed for them in return. It was a beautiful evening with these two. Dan and Allie both were so easy to visit with and instantly warmed up […]
When snow and muddy roads kept us from their first choice in locations (but I sure tried to get in there!), we shifted plans and used another favorite location for Donnie and Miranda’s Payson Engagement Photos. The Bluff! It never disappoints…but sometimes it does take casualties. A moment of silence for the shoe that didn’t […]
This time of year is absolutely beautiful for Pine AZ Engagement Photos. It’s also a gorgeous time of year for a wedding. Lucky for Donovan and Annabella, they get both! This year we met up in Pine for their Engagement Session, and next year we’ll be celebrating their wedding at this same time of year. […]
Before I dive into these Payson AZ Engagement Photos, a little backstory (because around here we love backstories!). In April I joined forces with Stasha, of Jars & Lace, to host a booth at the Gila Valley Wedding & Event Fair. As part of the booth I had a giveaway running for a free couple’s […]
This Mt Graham Waterfall Engagement Session had my heart from the very first hello on Instagram. When you get an inquiry that includes this line: “My cousin had you take their photos and they are still the pictures of my dreams!” you know you’ve connected with a golden client!! Kacey and Blaine made the drive […]
Two years ago I met up with Ethan and Emaleah in Payson, AZ for their windy and chilly Feburary engagement session. This past week I got to meet up with them again for their windy and chilly February Gila Valley maternity photos! We met up near Ft Grant Road to get a beautiful view with […]
“I had no idea Arizona could look like this!” John and Brianna’s Mogollon Rim Engagement photos happened just a few months after their move from Chicago to Flagstaff. The views, the mix of desert and forest plants, and the weather all combined for a gorgeous setting to introduce this fun couple to some of the […]
Connor and Abby’s Payson Engagement Photos had me laughing more than I have at a session in quite a while! My ab muscles hurt the next morning! These two are kind, comfortable, radiant, and so insanely cute together. They needed next to no time to warm up to the camera and just had a ball […]
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TODAY TO COME FOR 6 MONTHS NOW!! Yayayayayay!! Mikaela and I had a deal. She wanted 10th Anniversary Photos, but knew the timing could be interesting with their plans to grow their family. So we decided that we’d do the photos right around their anniversary, or when she got pregnant, […]
