Hello

Tucson Engagement Session / / Trasea and Luke

Engagements

Trasea and Luke chose one of my favorite locations for their engagement session-Sweetwater Wetlands Park. This park is a little oasis in the desert affording some “green” and shade during the hot Tucson summers. I had the best time with these two! They both have the most infectious laughs and smiles!

Gates Pass Engagement Session / / Madi & Riley

Engagements

Madi and Riley rocked their engagement session! We met up at Gates Pass, one of my favorite places in Tucson! Everywhere you look there are stunning vistas and the saguaros that are sprinkled across the mountain side are breathtaking!

Tucson Desert Engagement Session / / Kelly and Ben

Engagements

When Kelly and Ben arrived at their engagement session they were dressed to impress! Their black and white attire popped beautifully off the desert landscape. I had the most amazing time with these two. They are both naturals in front of the camera, and I loved getting to explore Honey Bee Canyon with them.

Tucson Family Session / / Price Family

Families

The Tucson desert is the perfect backdrop for a family session. I loved spending time with the Price family capturing this beautiful time in their lives. We had fun exploring the desert, singing songs, dancing, and laughing. I love being a family photographer in this beautiful Arizona desert!

Tucson Senior Session / / Emily

Seniors

Emily has been one of our favorite babysitters over the years and our family just adores her! She is so fun, sweet, and bubbly. She truly is a beauty inside and out! Emily is graduating this year from high school and it was such a fun senior session capturing this milestone in her life!

Tucson Arizona Temple Wedding / / Lindsey & Ryan

Weddings

This March wedding at the Tucson Arizona Temple was gorgeous! Lindsey and Ryan were glowing the entire day! Lindsey and Ryan have such a playful relationship. I don’t think I have ever seen them not smiling! They danced all night at their reception, my favorite moment was watching Lindsey’s Dad cutting loose on the dance floor! I am so excited for what life holds for these two! They truly are an incredible pair! Congratulations!!

Surprise Visit in the Desert / / Oro Valley, AZ

Families

These cute girls had a special dance at their school and were all dolled up… matching dresses, necklaces, even makeup. Their thoughtful mother had reached out to me earlier in the week, letting me know that their Dad was going to be flying in to take his girls to their dance, but the girls had no idea he was coming! I couldn’t wait to capture the excitement during this daddy-daughter session.

Honey Bee Canyon Engagement Session / / Isabella and Michael

Engagements

Jewel tones, sandy toes, and magical moments are all the things that Bella and Mikey’s Engagement Session at Honey Bee Canyon in Oro Valley were made of. I can’t wait for their wedding in March!
