This session didn’t go quuuuuite as planned…. to start off I was supposed to fly in over a day in advance and thanks to airline delays, I made it with like 3 minutes to spare. Then there was the weather….it was in the high 30’s with blustery winds and a mix of sleet/snow/rain. Not exactly ideal for photos. This adorable couple was seriously the best sports though…enduring the horrible conditions and ignoring numb fingers and toes. :) It was totally worth it because I absolutely love the way these photos turned out! From the stormy, moody skies…to the one peek of sun we had…the weather added some gorgeous drama to this engagement session.

How cute are these two? Seriously. Jace and I totally share the same style ideas so this couples shoot was right up my alley! And John….bless his heart. He went along with both our crazy ideas. Including the horse….not sure he’s ever really been around one before. :)

winter love

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……

It may have taken a mix of puddles, mickey mouse, and my doggy assistant Stella to keep this adorable toddler’s attention…..but it was worth it. I love how this sweet mother and son session turned out!

vohs wedding

This was definitely one of my favorite weddings….they were so creative (the venue was an archery range for crying out loud!), yet not a detail was missed. From all the rustic touches, to the antique truck that a stranger generously loaned them for the afternoon….everything came together perfectly for this beautiful couple.

The more senior sessions I do, the more I fall in love with them! This girl was such a sweetheart and game for anything! Her horse…..not so much. Even with his lack of cooperation, the photos came out gorgeous!!
