While Covid means a lot of changes to life, it didn’t change that I love being able to show my appreciate and love for people through photography. As a Thank You for all the help the Redford family gave us when I was so sick while pregnant with Molly, I offered Payson AZ Senior Photos to Seth, their graduating son. I was so excited when he took me up on the offer and was game for a new spot in Payson that I was wanting to shoot at!
