Family. Friends. Fun. Food. Faith. Fotography…. uhhhh wait, “Siri--How do you spell photography” Welcome to my life.

You could say making people look good in photos is in my blood. It all started with my sweet grandpa. He was a pageant photographer. So, since I was young, I’ve had a love affair with photography. I may have even stalked my school crush and secretly taken his picture in high school. . . I can’t help it.

What else is in my blood? Coke zero, tacos, and a bunch of blood cells having an internal struggle about going to the gym or going back to bed. Bed usually wins.

I’m born and raised in Arizona and I know all the best spots to take pictures. Desert? Greenery? Leaves? Water? You name it, I’ve got you covered. Whenever I’m driving, I’m always scouting new locations. I literally can’t turn off the photography part of my brain. I’m constantly looking out the window thinking, “I bet that would make a great location for pictures!” I swear one of these days when I pull off to the side of the road and walk into a random ditch to check it out, I am going to find a dead body. Ok, it’s possible I’m just listening to too many true crime podcasts.

I like people. I like my friends (I am an EXTRA-extrovert). I love my family. People bring me joy. Seeing the people I love most in photo form makes me all giddy inside. I discovered through photography I am able to bring this same joy to others as well! What a freaking fantastic super power it is that I possess a skill to LITERALLY make people smile…..now say CHEESE! But for real, my job is so rewarding. I have met so many lifelong friends. I’ve been able to capture couples and families through many milestones. I truly love the work I do and the people I do it for. Making my clients look and feel fabulous is my ultimate goal, because we all deserve to look back at pictures of our lives and feel as amazing as we are.

Time can be so fleeting. It seems not so long ago that my husband got down on one knee and proposed. We got married, three years later we had our first child, and BOOM, here we are with 4 daughters and a mess of a house we can’t ever seem to get organized. I may not get a single good night’s sleep anymore, or have the alone time that I used to, but I always make time for photos. The truth is most of us will never feel perfectly “camera ready.” We may never lose that last ten pounds and life will never really slow down. Please do yourself a favor and make sure you and your loved ones have photos and memories that will last even longer than they will. I promise I will make sure you have fun, feel comfortable and confident during your session, and you will be glad you threatened, bribed, and dragged your family to do photos. I’ll make it worth your while.

So, you’re ready to book with me now, right?? I’ll bring you a cookie if you do...unless I eat it on the way over. My apologies in advance.
