Sedona Elopement
Sedona is a place near and dear to my heart. I’m always drawn to it despite the photography challenges it presents. Strenuous hikes, heat, and a unique red rock that absorbs bouncing light, but it’s all ALWAYS worth it in the end. This adventure with S&C was as magical as always, and presented a wonderful opportunity to embrace these challegnges and create a beautiful memory.
South Mountain Sunsets
Nothing beats an Arizona sunset. Whenever I get the opportunity to show friends some of my favorite spots near Phoenix I always take them to the South Mountain! It’s become a wild hotspot in the past couple of years. Grant and I had our own engagement session there in 2016 and we had nearly the whole mountain to ourselves. Despite its well deserved spike in popularity, the spot is still such a treat to photograph.
Ethereal Maternity Session
It is not an easy feat to mentally prepare for your maternity photos. After months of physical, emotional, and hormonal changes it can take a lot of courage to put on a dress and pretend to be who you were seven or eight months ago, but luckily this woman is not shy of a challenge. I could sense she was not quite feeling like herself when we first started chatting (yet she still absolutely ROCKED this session, sheesh!) but something she said at the end of this beautiful sunset truly lodged within my heart and made me so, so proud:
Villa Siena Arizona Wedding
Talk about a breath of fresh air for Arizona weddings! Don’t get me wrong, I love the desert landscape and those sweeping, dramatic sunsets, but the Villa Siena is the sweetest hidden gem of a venue, and the perfect spot for Matt and Ivy to celebrate with their loved ones.
