I had this sweet couple for an engagement session and they brought their dog along! I cannot overstate how much I adore it when people bring their pets for their portraits. Look at her cute little face!

I had the opportunity to do headshots for the teachers at a local school on Monday! It was a really great experience. Everyone was so kind!

As I was walking out the door this morning, I went to hug my daughter and she managed to get sunscreen all over my pants. Now I'm at work looking dirty as heck. #oops
If you're going outside too, bring lots of water! Summer is here.

Did I almost miss #caturday ?
This is my sweet girl, Atari, in her favorite spot.

In a first for me, I had a session with a lady who showed up on ROLLER SKATES for her birthday portraits! Her whole outfit was incredible and she looked amazing!

It's my turn!!!! In celebration of my 40th birthday 🤩, my family and I all got dressed up and had a portrait session with my friend and colleague James! I'm really excited to see them all.

I love meeting new parents. There is so much love in this cuddle, and I am grateful I was allowed to see it and capture it.

A quick candid photo of a dad and his daughter looking at a lake during a portrait session.

Look who posed for me at work today! He was busy filling his little cheeks with assorted sticks and leaves. Padding his burrow?

I had a great time working with @thealchemistlady.bsky.social for headshots, product photos and for family portraits too. <3 She's using them all to fill in her beautiful new website! www.thealchemistlady.com

Who's ready to throw that cap?
Graduation portraits are the best! I especially love the cap toss.

Back at my dining room table ... erm, I mean, my "studio" to keep working on the product shots for @thealchemistlady.bsky.social
Doing it all the old fashioned way with lights, a backdrop, and lots of patience and joy. I love this stuff!

I'm working at Papago Park (for Shoott) this afternoon. Got a family and a high school senior today. Let's go. 😊

Working on something different today: Product shots for @thealchemistlady.bsky.social
I'm pretty excited! I don't get to do this often and I love it!

(can you see my dog hanging out in the background?)

One of the things that fascinates me about the Riparian Preserve is how much it changes. The lakes go from full to empty and back again throughout the year. So, some portraits get a lake for a background, some a dry lake bed! I love the look of both. 😍

A bit of a chilly morning here in Gilbert. It will warm up in a bit, I'm sure. I'm working for Shoott today and I'll be seeing four clients.

I cleared my laptop of all of my work from 2024 to make room for new sessions, which seemed like a great idea until just now...just now I'm realizing that I need something to post.

So, let me go find my external real quick. Ha.

(Absolutely LOVE sessions with babies, btw)

Fun family session at the Riparian Preserve.
