When envisioning a gorgeous, end of summer wedding, my guess would be most people would think of something resembling this wedding. Every detail was absolutely perfect, and just when you thought it couldn’t get better….they brought out the donuts…..

This couple had to deal with every bride and groom’s nightmare…..their original photographer had to cancel on them 10 days prior to their wedding. 10 days. As luck would have it, I was scheduled to be in the area the weekend before and was able to extend my trip to capture their big day. I’m so glad it worked out because these two were so great to work with….and not to mention their wedding was drop dead gorgeous….













Small, backyard celebrations have officially become my favorite. Doesn’t hurt that with this one every detail was so beautiful, and the couple are actually good friends of ours. Plus, holy crap are they photogenic together! And as an added bonus….man can they dance! Gotta love a cowboy wedding. ;)


















There’s a reason why my website hasn’t had any updates as of late…..and here he is. Oliver Clay, born Feb 13th. The poor little guy has been subjected to multiple shoots already; I’ll admit, I’m a little obsessed. :) Weddings season starts for me next month, but for now, I’m just soaking up time with my little man….












I’m veering off a little bit from what I typically post on here. Typically, my website usually consists of just portrait work, but I take photos for myself almost everyday. Partly to continue to push my skills, and partly just because I love it.
Here in northern AZ, we had a couple of pretty good snow falls early in the season, but since the beginning of February we’ve had nothing but spring-like weather. I may be kicked out of the state for saying this, but lately I’ve been longing for more winter. When I was home to northern MN over the holidays, the weather was perfect. Lots of snow and daytime temps in the mid-twenties. I was able to snowshoe, skijor, and dogsled my parent’s Alaskan Malamute. Here’s some of my favorite winter love shots from both MN and AZ……
