At this point in our marriage even though we’re young and with no kids of our own just yet, Doug and I find that we don’t prioritize our marriage as often we should. We let work, stress or day-to-day life take the lead of our time and sometimes it lets our relationship suffer. To keep […]

They met Tango dancing… Yep! Tango dancing. And it sounds like one of those romantic stories that your grandparents tell you when you ask them how they met all those years ago. And one day, that’ll be Brittany & Tyler. Telling their grandchildren of the day they met on the dance floor and the chemistry […]

The scent of creosote lingered in the cool air. A classic fragrance that rain brings to life in the dry Phoenix desert. Tiny drops scattered over the succulent bloom centerpieces displayed on the tables in the backyard of Kelsey’s childhood home. She watched from the speckled window of her parents room while she prepared for […]

It was a beautiful winter day for Dan & Cindy’s elopement style Phoenix Courthouse Wedding! I was so excited to be a part of such an amazing day celebrating these two and their commitment to each other. It was my first courthouse wedding and it felt so intimate and special with all of their loved […]

This is Felicia and Dylan. We love them, their style and charm, and we think you might too after seeing how adorable they are together during their Phoenix engagement session. I mean, would ya just look at how awesome they are?! Doug and I felt significantly less cool just standing next to them, so it’s […]

They met playing volleyball on the sands of California. A group of friends, some friendly competition, and from what we hear, Kash rocked the court. It’s a good thing she did, because she caught the eye of her future husband, Shawn. The man that would one day go down on his knee and give her […]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… (Am I the only one singing Christmas songs already?) HI FRIENDS! Can you believe it’s that time again? I feel like it wasn’t that long ago that we were shooting last year’s Mini Sessions. This year has gone by so quick! Anyway, I probably shouldn’t complain because […]

These two… Are so much fun! We loved every minute with Danielle and Nick! Their friendly rivalry over favored NFL teams had Doug and I laughing from the start. We worked the light during their engagement session from beginning to end and chased it to the deserts edge, squeezing every last drop of gorgeous sunset. […]

I’ve known Stacey since our days (long ago) of green & gold at Horizon High School! (Weren’t those the days!) She contacted me a while back in hopes that I would shoot her Senior Portraits for graduating nursing school, and just a couple years later here we are! Shooting Stacey & Ryan’s engagement session, and […]

Let me introduce you… to my newest nephew, Declan George Valor McBride. Named after my late grandfather, George, who passed away the day before he was born. He has some big shoes to fill, but boy has he already won us over! His facial expressions, scronny limbs and dreamy gazes alone have our Auntie and Uncle […]
