New website!

I am in the process of creating a new website! I hope to have it live within the next two weeks. In the meantime you can still visit the current website. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know!

It's my birthday!

Today is my 25th birthday! I'm looking forward to the insurance discount! No partying here, I've got a wedding booked for tomorrow but I had a yummy steak dinner with my family and exchanged gifts with my mommy (her birthday is tomorrow). But next Sunday my mother, sister and I are doing a much deserved spa day, my first massage!



Here's a quick shot of my pretty flowers (I hope I can keep these alive!)

Wedding Detail Shots

I was the second photographer at a recent wedding and I wanted to share some of the more creative shots.

New logo

I just had a new logo created that I absolutely love! Michelle with Heirloom Photography in Tucson was wonderful enough to help me out, she is incredible!

Easter

We took the kids to my grandfather's house for lunch and an egg hunt and then took them to my in-laws for an early dinner and another egg hunt. Ethan didn't quite understand the concept and kept trying to eat the contents rather than continue to search. His favorite though were the ones filled with coins that carefully placed in his piggy bank the next day, one by one.

We have visitors!

The Canadian geese are visitting the park I take my boys to. We took the opportunity to feed and photograph them on our last visit.

Spring/Easter Photos

I asked my friend to bring over her gorgeous little girl to take some pictures with my new backdrop and here is a preview:

More wildflowers!

My sister and I had to make a short notice trip up to the hill to visit my dad in the hospital this weekend. He has Crohn's Disease and had a flare up after being really sick. While the reason for going was unpleasant, I really enjoyed all the time I had talking with my sister since our busy lives don't allow us to spend a lot of time together. But by the time we back to the valley we had nothing left to talk about. During this quiet time I started noticing all the flowers along the highway and decided to pull over and take a few photos. It was really windy so getting a good shot was difficult. Here are a few:

One single flower stayed in focus as the rest became blurry from the wind.

The sun was beginning to set and gave this great warm glow.

Wildflowers

My mom and I took a 5 mile hike up in Cave Creek to look at wildflowers. Here are a few of my faves

New Backdrop Stand

I finally bought a real backdrop stand and have been having fun playing with it. I pulled out my regular models, my boys, and here are a few of my experiments.

Lori is 30!

Lori wanted to have photos taken of her and her closest friends in celebration of her big milestone. We headed out to South Mountain Preserve and played for a few hours. I had a blast with these great women! Here's your sneak peak!
