“There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” Kenneth H. Blanchard

I am a true believer that you can always better yourself. I want less "behind the computer" and more "behind the camera". I've decided to balance my day out by shooting at least one activity a day. From taking a hike to with my kids & assistant to pumping some gas. This is something so near and dear to me that allows me more time with my family all while playing with different styles of shooting. Mini photoshoots of everyday me & mine.

Enjoy Mathis Brigade and Some

This 3 month old bundle of innocence was in no mood to sleep during her mini shoot, but no worries, she was just as thrilled to be in front of my camera as I was to have her!

(Can I just take this time to mention how absolutely stunning this momma is?! OMG)

Brennah & Steven

Sometimes in life you are fortunate enough to be touched by two people's adoration, appreciation and respect for one another. This couple was no exception. Steven and Brennah are so incredibly near and dear to my families heart. The duo is moving but we know we will still feel their love no matter how far they are from us.

Happy 3 year anniversary gang, you guys are an inspiration!

My momma is something else. She has to be the nicest and most selfless person I've ever come to meet. I swear, this woman doesn't have a mean bone in her body. It's been a pleasure going through life with her by my side, and now it's even more beautiful that my girls are able to witness and learn from this angel in action.

This twenty16 senior came to me to capture him in most favorite past times. Being outdoors with nature and stemming on his guitar.  A scholar, gentleman, & artist.

Me & Mine

The dates are set for our move to Denver. A few more weeks and we'll be right where we belong, back in Daddy's arms. Till then we will swim from sunrise to sunset, sing at the top of our lungs, get down on it, build castles, use our imagination like crazy, and take pretty photos of one another. Today we set off to a dreamy desert trail right behind our home in Scottsdale to capture this magical moment before it disappears. My girls & I.

She's adorable, smart, genuine, incredibly friendly, and not to mention a fabulous hair dresser. And to top it all off, I believe she's going to be a fabulous mom too. Some girls have it all!

Brandi M.

With every client I have the opportunity of shooting I always find myself walking away with a new appreciation for this beautiful journey we call parenthood. This soon to be mother of three was no exception. Her beauty is beyond apparent but her spirit and maternal instincts need be bottled and studied for many would learn much from this woman.

Brandi

This woman will forever hold a special place in my heart. She is literally as sweet and kind as she is beautiful and photogenic. I met her just a few years ago, and we instantly became the best of friends. Of course, I would take any and all opportunities to capture her and her son in all their glory before adding a little girl to their mix.

Jenn & I grew up together and throughout our friendship I never once thought this girl could become any more beautiful, but BOY was I wrong. She is beaming in real life and I'm so happy I could capture her glow and love for her baby boy.

Jennifer

Jennifer is a beautiful mommy-to-be with a kind heart, sweet spirit, and the grit to get a little sand between her toes. She's not only stunning on the outside but inside as well. Jennifer is patiently awaiting the arrival of her baby girl, I know she's going to raise this child to shine and be incredibly genuine.

Brittni, Colby, and little P are absolutely adorable and simply radiated in front of my camera. I enjoyed every minute of their family shoot on this summer night in California. I am so grateful to be a part of their family's journey!

Christina

This beautiful girl was up for an adventure and I LOVE a human with curiosity running through their veins. Christina sees the beauty in what some would call trash. With her bravery and keen eye we created these colorful keepsakes for her sweet 16.

It's been quite the adventure searching for the perfect location for my maternity clients. We live in Arizona and 90% of the landscape here is desert. There's something about greenery that makes the photo come alive and I'm please to say I've found my new favorite spot. Thank the Lord for this beautiful girl was up for this escapade tonight. The clouds were magical and she was  exceptional.

It was a pleasure shooting this momma's maternity photos, and an absolute delight meeting, cuddling, and drooling over her sweet new baby boy. Congratulations to this beautiful family!

Right before my time was up, a special gift showed up for sweet baby C, and we absolutely felt the need to photograph him in it.

Flash flood warning two hours prior to our meeting time. Her first planned maternity shoot fell through because of the heat, and I prayed the weather wouldn't take this one too. Thankfully this mommy to be was down for a little rain, and by having such great patience, we were blessed with some sun near the end of our shoot. Patience & tolerence like that will get you far in parenthood, am I right guys?!

New Logo

Every bit of this business is exciting! I'm always on the look out for new dresses, locations and accessories for my shoots, and just recently found my new logo for all my business needs! I love it. Clean, classy, with just a splash of spunk. What do you guys think?!
