They had an immediate connection, which has only grown and flourished […]

Zach & Mai’s Destination Wedding at Hyatt Ziva in Puerto Vallarta

The day before we met for Megan’s desert maternity session in Phoenix, she admitted she was nervous. She had never been photographed before and was worried she’d be awkward in front of the camera. I reassured her that she was going to be a dream to work with and her portraits would turn out beautiful. […]

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 […]

Jade’s Bachelorette Party in Scottsdale

If there was a visual definition for “tasteful elegance,” it would be Tiffany’s boudoir session. Not only do her photographs depict how stunning she looks, but they also embrace the amazing, compassionate and absolutely incredible person she is. The first time I met Tiffany, I was capturing her engagement portraits with Levi (her now-husband!) in […]

Their relationship began with a simple bet — If Bryant won, he’d take Miaya on a date. If Miaya won, she’ take Bryant on a date. They both took a chance and ended up on a date with the person they were going to marry. I saw them together for the first time at their […]

Lindsey & Tanner’s Tre Bella Wedding | Mesa, Arizona

When the curtain drew back, there was an energy that swept the room. Lindsey stood at the head of the aisle as tears filled in the eyes of her guests. Tanner beamed as he gazed at his best friend with anticipation. The two of them were getting ready to become one and everyone there was overwhelmed with happiness. The room fell silent (aside from the occasional nose sniffle!) as Lindsey made her way to Tanner. Four years had led up to this – a day filled with beautiful details, two wonderful families and a bride and groom who were eager to finally become one.

Lindsey & Tanner’s Tre Bella Wedding | Mesa, Arizona

Before anything, let’s be real – getting your picture taken is kind of intimidating! Even being a photographer, I still get nervous getting my portraits done! Because of this, clients sometimes have a hard time smiling naturally, making it a challenge to capture their genuine expressions! BUT. If we, as photographers, know our clients are going to get a little nervous before their session, we can take charge to help ease their nerves and keep their energy up!
