The Belnaps | Pinetop, AZ Family Photographer

The Belnaps are friends of my family up in Pinetop. We took advantage of my trip up there for the wedding a couple weeks ago to get some family pictures done while I was in town.




pretty backlighting.

When big brother got done posing along side this tree, little brother propped himself up there all on his own posing the same way...it was pretty stinkin cute!





This last image was my favorite because it's a little different setup than what I usually look for but I really like how the hard sunlight from the back creates a rim and almost frames the family.

Lillian + Blake : Snowflake, Arizona LDS Temple Wedding

I just love it when things work out. The day of Lillian and Blake's wedding the weather in and around Snowflake Arizona could not make up it's mind. Sunny, windy, full on raining, overcast and in the end things just worked out. The rain stopped, the wind died down and the hit and miss cloud cover made for dramatic lighting that we were able take full advantage of.

I LOVE this one...it was like heaven opened up on these guys and was smiling about what they were doing that day:



The first kiss as a new couple immediately after the ceremony:









Thanks so much for letting me be a part to photograph your big day!

Grant | Red Mountain High School Senior Portrait Photographer

Grant has been on the other side of my lens a few times ( here, here ) We went out on an overcast afternoon with no real destination or plan and happened across an unlocked gate at falcon field so we played around an old airplane. It made for some great images!
We'll start off with this one because he didn't feel like smiling in too many of them:






Grant just graduated from Red Mountain High School and just left for boot camp in the Marines. I wish him well and good luck!

Little baby G! | Mesa, Arizona Baby Photographer

I did a baby session with Ms. G last week here at the studio. It's so stinkin hot out that it was such a relief to do some indoor portraiture for a change. Here are some of my favorites:


How precious is this? Having your picture taken is hard work and exhausting!

Tried out a couple textures in photoshop. What do you think?

The Lewis Family | Mesa Arizona Family Photographer

Little Ms. M just turned 1. I'm so glad I got to take these images for her family.

Isn't she just adorable? This was the best smile we got out of her! SO PRECIOUS!



"Hey! What's goin on back there?"
