autumn | engagement session

Ok, so maybe we don't have amazing multicolor leaves in the fall like some places do, but autumn is still a beautiful time in Arizona.  Nothing beats warm dreamy sunshine and an adorable couple in love!

cute and colorful | 9 month session

This cutie has been coming to me for pictures ever since she was a newborn!  It's been so sweet to see her grow into a busy little toddler.

school days

Even though it was 113 degrees here in Arizona today, and even though school started weeks ago for us, September always gets me in a nostalgic, back-to-school kind of mood.  Ahhh, the crisp autumn air, the new shoes, the smell of library books and crayons.  Happy September, everyone!

fall mini sessions | samples

Here are some examples of what to expect from my Fall mini sessions this year.  My husband has been working so hard to build this wood set and I think it's amazing!!!  For the mini sessions you'll have a choice of three different looks: this vintage gold sofa with burlap banner and poms, my aqua velvet sofa with a multicolored vintage hankie banner, or my new vintage orange sofa with a vintage doily banner.  You can find all the details on the mini sessions, as well as booking information on my availability page.

And just like they are with standard sessions, beautiful holiday cards are available with the minis!

california road trip | vintage finds

I took a refreshing little road trip to Thousand Oaks last weekend on my own and I loved driving through the beautiful rolling hills right near where I grew up.  I even visited my childhood home and elementary school.  Ahhh, memories!

But the main reason for my excusion was to attend an amazing vintage sale, and boy did I score some great stuff!  I also made it to a few antique markets in the area as well.  Here's a peek at only a few of the many amazing finds from my trip. I'm so excited to start using these treasures in some photo shoots!

featured | summit avenue design

I'm so excited that my photography is being featured in some beautiful new holiday cards by Summit Avenue Design!  This shop is full of seriously great stuff for photographers and digital scrappers.  I really love the vintage yet modern feel.

And of course these holiday card designs will be available for my clients this year, both in these new shapes (additional charges may apply) and in the traditional squared shapes.  Can't you just see your family in one of these adorable card designs?!?

new designs | photo books

I'm so excited to show you some examples of the new designs available for photo books!  These books are a perfect way to cherish and display the images from your session or wedding.  They have ten flush, lay-flat page spreads (twenty pages total) made with your choice of thick specialty papers.  Beautiful!

This design is called Simplicity.  In the first image you can see the wrap-around cover that extends from the back to the front.  The names are on the book spine.


The next design is called Bliss. Here is a look at the cover and some pages...

And one more! This one is entitled Dashing. The first image is the cover.
Are you getting excited about Fall family sessions yet? It's almost time! Stay tuned for a peek at my first ever Fall mini sessions which I'll be announcing very soon!

This cute little family came all the way out from Southern California for this fun, beautiful session. It was pretty darn warm outside since this was my last family session before the summer heat sets in. But they were great!

warm and lovely | engagement session

Everything about this session is so warm and happy. Such a sweet couple, cute dog... and the dress! I am seriously loving this dress! And here is a little peek at the pinwheels I mentioned on Facebook. My husband and I actually made fourteen of them. That's a lot of cutting! But totally worth it. I'm looking forward to using them in some future sessions as well.
