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 […]

I met Roger and Pat in and around Silver City for their engagement session and I don’t know if the colors of the murals or their smiles were brighter! It would be impossible to be bored around these two as fun and joy gushes out of them!

We decided to postpone for 24 hours and you’ll never believe the difference just a day can make in Arizona in the Spring!
