Tulumaris Family Portraits – Botanical Gardens, Arizona


This very cute family is the sister of the groom from the post of yesterday. While they were in town they asked me to take family picture of them, which of course I was thrilled about! We had such a great time wandering around the Botanical Gardens. Natalie is a cutie and at first was pretty shy, but quickly warmed up in front of the camera. We got so many great pictures of her and of the entire family. Below are some of my favorites!

Smelling the flowers.

One of my Favs.

Isn’t she cute?

LOVE THIS!!!

FAV!

Nova and James – Wedding in Cave Creek, AZ

Last weekend Nova and James got married up in Cave Creek, at Nova’s Dad’s house. It was beautiful and an amazing wedding. I had so much fun with the family!! Nova and her sister, Tessa are awesome and I truly felt like I was part of the family. I also got to know James sister and family because a few days before the wedding I took family pictures for them. I really felt like I was part of the family, which I LOVE!

We started the day with getting ready pictures at Nova’s Dad’s house. I of course got a ton of wonderful detail pictures… because the dress, ring, and shoes are so important!!!

This is a new Favorite ring shot.. not sure why.. but I love it.

And whever Jimmy Choo shows up we have to capture it!

Nova and James were not going to see each other before the wedding, but when I was looking at their schedule they had only scheduled 30 minutes for all the pictures to be taken. Really, this isn’t enough time to take Bride and Groom pictures, wedding party, and family pictures. Even if I could do them all in 30 minutes, there are always distractions that can affect the time, so I recommended that they see each other before hand and do all the family pictures afterwards. I’m so glad they choose to do it this way, because family pictures went late and we would not have had time to get the amazing portraits that we did.

So THANK YOU James and Nova for being flexible. We got some amazing shots.

I LOVE this one of Nova.

There were 3 very cute flower girls… this shot is right before they were supposed to walk down the aisle.

The littlest flower girl, Natalie, was so proud of herself because she made it down the whole way… when she got to the front she screamed “I did it” and ran to her mom.. I love this shot!

James and Nova read their own vows and it was so awesome because James was really tearing up. He almost wasn’t able to read them. I love this shot because his brother in law and best man was giving him support.

Lots of tears were shed all day.

Again, more tears throughout the night… The slideshow that James sister put together was amazing. All the toasts were very touching as well.

I cried when Tessa gave her speach because it reminded me so much of me and my sister.

But with the tears came a lot of fun and dancing. They partied hard all night long… I hear the cops even came:):):) I guess it isn’t a good party until the cops come right:)

It truly was a beautiful event!! Thank you Nova and James for allowing me to be a part of it!

Emily and Seth – Engagement Session at ASU



Emily and Seth are getting married in Pinetop, AZ (my hometown) in May. I’m so excited to go home and shoot a wedding there because I love Pinetop and i’d rather be there in the summer than Phoenix… so thanks Emily and Seth!!!

It’s going to be a great wedding and I’m so excited because I’m going to see old clients and friends, Jennifer and Jeff as well as my wonderful friend Jennifer Bowen is coming to shoot with me since her family is in Pinetop too. It’s gonna be a huge party!!!

Anyways, a few weeks ago we got together with Emily and Seth to shoot their engagement session at and around ASU. They both went to ASU, so it meant a lot to them. We had a blast and got some great pictures. They had actually hired another photographer before me and hated their engagement pictures because they were so posed and fake… so it was fun to see their personality come out in these very nonfake, real pictures. That’s my goal is to capture people as they are!

Below are a few of my favorites!!

M&Co Papery – Downtown Mesa

Last week I took some pictures for my friend Marlene, who owns M&Co Papery in Mesa. If you haven’t been to this shop, you must go. They have the most amazing stationary, paper, and custom invitations. I love walking in there and drooling over all the fun paper.

Marlene needed a picture of her taken for her website, so while I was there I took some pictures of the fun things in her store.

Make sure that you stop by and say hi to her… you won’t be disappointed.

The Sommer Family – Silverleaf – Scottsdale, AZ

A few weeks ago I went out to the Sommer House in Silverleaf and took some pictures of their family. Cassandra is having a sweet 16 birthday party and they wanted some pictures of her for the party and then also wanted to get some family pictures.

We had such a great time and got so many amazing pictures. This is truly such a fun family!

Cassandra did amazing during her shoot! She could absolutely be a model!

Here are some of my favorites.


We then took some family pictures and got some great ones of them and their house as well.

Thank you Sommers. I have enjoyed getting to know you!!

Happy Birthday Cassandra!!
