Wow, June absolutely flew by, but one of the highlights for me was photographing Lakin and Jasmyne’s engagement portraits at sunrise in Sedona! We originally planned this session for April, but due to ice and snow, we decided to postpone—and I’m so glad we did! The timing turned out to be perfect, allowing us to capture the stunning beauty of Sedona’s landscape.

Since it’s the start of a new season, I’ve been really feeling all the fall vibes. That’s why today on the blog, I’m throwing it back to one of my favorite sessions with Natalie and Rhossy. We met at Honeybee Canyon in Tucson for their portraits and I absolutely loved the way their chic outfits […]

There was so much to be excited over during Katelyn & Kyle’s engagement session at Lost Dutchman State Park! To start, we met at sunrise when the early morning light was barely entering the sky. It skimmed across the mountains and lightly brushed the tops of surrounding trees, creating the dreamiest golden glow. Katelyn wore […]

Oh, my goodness. Throughout Kelsey & Daniel’s engagement session I found myself either:
A) Completely obsessed with how wonderfully they complimented one another. The way they smiled, laughed and played made abundantly clear the love, care, and compassion they’ve shared together over the last five years.
B) Straight up laughing to the point of tears. These two are a hilarious duo that are filled with so much light and amazing silliness. It was seriously impossible for me to stop smiling the entireeee time!

One of the best parts of my job is being able to work with people as amazing as Czarina and Michael! These two are the sweetest and have an overwhelming amount of love & respect for one another. I loved seeing how excited Czarina would get to kiss Michael or how much they would make each other laugh nonstop! Their relationship is filled with genuine compassion and even though their wedding is a year away, I mayyyy already have a countdown going for when I get to capture them together as husband and wife!

The day before our session together, I received this email from Brooke:
“Hey Lara,
I just want to remind you that Michigan is cold. It’s usually in the 50’s in the morning this time of year!”
And she was absolutely right. I was traveling to Grand Rapids, Michigan for Brooke and Alex’s engagement session and knew it was going to be insanely special (and a litttttttle chilly)! Being from Arizona, I couldn’t stop dreaming about the autumn colors I hardly get to see, the slight chill in the air that tells you fall is here AND all the layers I never get to wear (give me ALL the scarves, gloves, boots and winter coats!!!)!
But even more than that, I knew Brooke and Alex were a special couple! From the moment Brooke spoke to me over email, I could already tell how fun the two of them were! Not only because Brooke immediately dove into session planning with me, but because she also mentioned that her and Alex would be bringing pizza, burritos, beer and wine to their session! (Seriously, how cool are they?!)

Ohhhh, my goodness. I’m not sure there’s a way to properly express how excited I am about this engagement session! Not just because it’s filled with dreamy, desert goodness, but because Kate and Billy are absolutely ADORABLE. Even though we were all up bright and early at 5:30, their energy was filled with so much love and laughter, it was contagious!

Holy WOW. I don’t think there’s a word that can actually describe just how BEAUTIFUL these two people are! Tiffany and Levi are serious relationship goals. When we arrived to our engagement shoot location, I think it took me a solid five minutes before I could pick my jaw up from how stunning they were! Everything about them was SO on point, whether it was their outfits, the sweetest interactions they exchanged or simply how hilarious they were (I don’t think I stopped wiping away tears from laughing the entire time).
