Zoe 🎓✨

There’s something so special about a senior session that feels like you… and Zoe’s was exactly that.

From the soft, beautiful light to the sweetest personal touch, her Anne of Green Gables book, every detail felt timeless, thoughtful, and full of heart.

Her gallery is truly stunning, and it was such a joy capturing this season before she heads off to ASU this fall (so exciting!!).

Lynette, thank you for trusting me with such a meaningful milestone 💛

Some moments just stay with you.

One of my favorite images of 2024 is this one of Ainsley (slide 3 + 4)—full sprint, wild joy, heart wide open. We had our first session when she was just 18 months old, and now four years and four sessions later, it’s such a gift to see her step into each new season with the same spark. Watching kids grow more comfortable, more free in front of my lens is one of my favorite parts of this work.

This summer, I’ve been intentionally slowing down—reconnecting with my craft by first capturing the beauty unfolding in my own home. We’ve flown to different states, swam for hours, stayed up late with sleepovers and sweet friends, read/discussed books, and embraced the slow and the sacred in between.

I’m still waiting on my daughter’s dance schedule (because dance life runs on surprises 💃), but I hope to release Fall Mini Sessions in the next couple weeks!

For now, I’m savoring the growth, the stories, and the everyday wonder.

I’ve been a little quiet here this past week—thank you so much to my amazing clients for your patience while I stepped away. Our daughter competed at dance nationals and her team placed 2nd in the Grand Finale! It was a beautiful, emotional week surrounded by family, full of joy, tears, and moments I’ll treasure forever. 💛

This time away reminded me why I’m so passionate about photographing families—because these seasons pass quickly, and they’re worth holding onto. Not just the milestones, but the love, the connection, the in-between.

I still can’t get over how the desert light danced around the Benson family at Lost Dutchman—every giggle between siblings, every proud glance from Alexa as she watched her little ones play. As a mom myself, my heart swells seeing these moments frozen in time, reminding me how precious and fleeting childhood truly is. I’m so grateful for the chance to capture your story, Benson crew—you’ve blessed me more than you know. ✨❤️

Swipe to feel their joy, their love, and the desert’s gentle embrace.

Sometimes, rescheduling is the best decision—Monday’s cold winds couldn’t compete with yesterday’s golden sun, and I’m so glad we waited! Capturing this beautiful, loving family as they prepare to welcome their newest addition in May was pure joy. Their sweet girls are not only stunning but also taught me some fun Spanish words—like helado (ice cream) and cosquillas (tickle)! There was no shortage of giggles, cuddles, and sweet sister moments.

Motherhood, family, and the anticipation of new life—it’s what makes these moments so special. Can’t wait to share more from this session!

Two years of capturing the Blank family’s love and joy—it just keeps getting sweeter! 💞 This fall session at the Riparian Preserve was filled with laughter, tender moments, and the kind of love that shines through every image. And can we take a moment for this beautiful, strong mama? Pure grace and strength! ✨

Spring Mini Sessions go LIVE at 9 AM—don’t miss your chance to book a spot! I will post a link in my bio and in my stories 🤗 Limited availability.

Brandy and her family met me earlier this month in what is probably my most popular location, Lost Dutchman 📸💕 we hiked, laughed, danced, bribed and everything in between.

Lost Dutchman is the perfect location to capture that jaw dropping mountain, get a little hike in & on most occasions, watch some fearless individuals jump from atop and paraglide throughout!

I find that March/April are the most gorgeous, when the desert is in bloom. Don’t forget to schedule your spring sessions, soon; I am now a, “competitive dance mom” and these competitions are filling my calendar pretty quick 💃😉

Sharing this sweet gem of a family on this gorgeous Saturday; similarly ‘s personality is just that 💛 I remember our first session a few years ago so clearly; an extended family session at the when I was young in my photography career.

Needless to say, I’m so happy seeing your family every year, Reyna! I love that we can connect again so quickly and capture the pure joy of your babies, each time! Can’t wait to see you all this fall 📸
