Dreamy Maternity Session In Tucson
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!!
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.
I was able to photograph one of my favorite families earlier this week! As much as I love weddings, I love being a family photographer here in Tucson as well! David and Michelle are good family friends, and I have been privileged to watch this cute couple’s love story unfold. We began their family pictures in the Tucson desert on an overcast day, then made our way to the cotton fields for some epic sunset portraits.
Nicole and Scott’s wedding at the Tucson Arizona Temple and Gallery at Dove Mountain was beautiful! They are both the kind of people who instantly make you smile. They are so warm and genuine, that within minutes you feel like family. I have truly come to love this couple! Their easy-going and upbeat personalities made spending time with them such a joy! So it came as no surprise, that when the weather called for rain on their wedding day, these two didn’t allow any amount of rain to dampen the joy and excitement of their big day!
I had another wonderful family session this past weekend with the Steck family. I have known this family for many years, and was so excited when they asked me to take their family photos this fall. My younger sister even babysat these teens back in the day (okay, now I’m feeling old) Even though the temperatures are still hot here in Tucson, this family was happy to follow me around the park and brave the heat. These siblings love to joke around and are tons of fun! I love how much this sweet family cares for each other!
I love family sessions! I love seeing all the different personalities that can come from in one family. I love the laughter, chasing, hugs, and snuggles! Scheduling a family session at least once a year is so important. Kids grow so fast, and you will never regret having the way your family is now captured in photos.
