I received an inquiry just before Christmas from a new dad who wanted to surprise his wife with a newborn portrait session. His little girl was born just a few days earlier and he thought this would make the perfect gift. His big question – would the session include portraits of his wife and daughter…
Project Inspiration I’ve had a project idea floating around in the back of my mind for the past year or so. I am not sure what spurred the idea – perhaps a it was the 52-week photo projects I see periodically shared on Facebook or Instagram. Whatever the inspiration may be, my ultimate goal is…
Wow – it’s so hard to believe that January is nearly 2/3rds of the way over. We are nearly done with the first month of 2014! And what a year it has started out to be! But before we go too much further into the New Year, I need to share another session from 2013.…

But, long story short – I…
I love wall galleries – as a photographer, it is very inspiring to see my portraits displayed together to tell the story of a moment that I captured for a family. Whether you have invested in digital files or traditional prints from your session, the wall gallery is a stunning way to display your treasured…
You may remember this smiling crew from a few months ago. I first met the S family when they came to my studio to capture young Tyler’s 6 month portrait milestone. Since Mr. T’s birthday is in November, Mom and I discussed the taking advantage of the opportunity of a fall birthday to capture first…
I met this gorgeous family nearly just over four years ago. We had a fantastic session at the Marriott Desert Ridge and created a beautiful canvas display for their home. Well, as we all know, kids grow up, and even the most beautiful of portraits need to be updated! So mom contacted me this fall…
