Family Mini Session – Gilbert Family Photographer
Posted on April 21, 2010
I know I am rocking on my blog posts…(meaning I am actually doing them, pat self on back..) . I had a family session recently with one of my bestest friends. She has a little baby named Jude and I have been capturing his whole first year. It’s been pretty fun to tell you the truth. I managed to convince them to finally do a family photo. I am pretty sure this was a first. Anyhow we shot a little mini session at the park near their house. This kid is a ham. I just love these, they make me smile. Amy, Jim and Jude.

Another adorable senior- Florence Senior Photographer
Posted on April 20, 2010
Well I did say that I had a lot of seniors this year. Here is another awesome senior session. This is Cameron. I had to travel an hour to get to her but totally worth it. The location was amazing and she was super fun. I loved working with her. Sh is a country girl at heart and so this was such a perfect spot for her. (She picked it, I was just thrilled to get to shoot there!) She brought her prom dress, so I did the logical thing, I stuck her in the field of weeds. Awesome right? Here are some of my faves from that day…

It’s Senior Season! – Phoenix Senior Photographer
Posted on April 11, 2010
I am very blessed with some awesome seniors this year so far! Soooo many great kids, so many fun ideas. Nothing like when I was a senior. This is Kylie and she is a beautiful red head. She’s the kind of girl that “works” her freckles. She brought the B-E-S-T wardrobe and we drove around (her Mom drove us all over town) to full fill all of my crazy location ideas. She wanted urban and country all while wearing as much “bling” (as her Mom called it) as possible. What a great and fun session.
We shot this one downtown. It was blazing bright outside but she was a trooper. I kept paying “try not to squint!”
I said “Kylie…lay in the weeds for me” She said “okay!” I tried some shots from straight above but the ones from the side here were my favorite.
Pretty, pretty, pretty girl.
She brought the sunflowers, I brought the fence.
People always comment my work is “fresh” I guess this is well…that.
This has to be one of my favorite shots of the day. Just Kylie being beautiful Kylie.
I took a ton of detail shots of her. She had the best shoes! Like these royal blue beauties.
Another detail shot that worked out better than I hoped. I was focusing on the freckles in this one.

Monique Lhuillier 2010 fall gowns – Arizona Bridal fashion Photographer
Posted on April 7, 2010
I know…I have been so bad about posting. I have a few good reasons.
1. A few of my best shoots are either getting published or being considered for it. So I can not share them until they are out. But that’s all great news!
2. I am lucky to get sleep in lately.
3. I’m PREGNANT! Yes that hes been a little damper on productivity but I am feeling much better and more like myself. 
Okay so to the big reveal. I am so blessed in that I get to do some amazing things with my job. Recently Linda from Destiny’s Bride called and asked if I wanted to shoot the amazing (and fresh off the runway) Monique Lhuillier gowns. The thing was they had to stay in the store. I don’t think any of them had seen the light of day. From runway to trunk-show. It posed a little challange of how to get a beautiful shoot, indoors at night. As you know my style is natural light. Hey, I am always up for a challenge and have been working on my lighting work. I wanted something a little more “moody” that really let the gowns be the focus. I called in some support from my good friend/photographer Cindy Price of Lily P Studios and some of my most favorite models. The generosity that is shown to me from the models down to the stylist is very humbling. Having models and stylists out until all hours of the night just to capture some images with me is the best gift.
Thank you to SIM Agency (models), Ruca (hair) , Linda (makeup-styling), Destiny’s Bride, Chelsea, Justine, Brita, Stephanie, Cindy (best assistant, brainstormer, counselor and friend ever)….you all bless my life and work.
Let’s start with an outtake of the set up. So many gowns…so little space! Yes that’s Linda on touch up and it’s about 9PM at this point. Cindy is hiding behind the light.
Justine wearing Monique Lhuillier “Twilight”
You will need to forgo the Italian honeymoon, this gown runs in the $17,000 range. But it sure is pretty!
Brita (her first post baby appearance and she looks stunning!)
Brita is wearing Monique Lhuillier Schiaparelli. I am in love with the elegance of this dress.
I think the back is my favorite part!
Stephanie is wearing Monique Lhuillier Brilliance. The bodice is breathtaking.
Here is Chelsey in a gown from the Fall 2009 collection. This is Monique Lhuillier Lourdes and it looked so amazing on her. This dress is so feminine and elegant.
and for the finale, once more all the beautiful models!
Did I mention that I love my job?
