The Last Day of 2009

PinExt The Last Day of 2009: Scottsdale Arizona wedding and portrait photographer

If I had to choose one month to be my favorite, I definitely think I would pick December. December is a magical month focused on Jesus, giving, joy, holiday spirit, endings and new beginnings to come. Normally, I don’t like endings. A lot of times, they’re sad. The end of this year and this decade is a little sad to me, but I’m still excited for the future. December is a month of reflection and closure. Looking back at this year, I can’t believe how big it was. This year, I started my business, I reached the halfway-through-college mark (and passed it! yay!), I moved into my great apartment, I really focused on my dreams and goals and making them into my reality, and I’ve grown immensely as a person and a photographer, to make a short summary of it. I’m not even going to get started as to what I accomplished in this whole second decade of my life! I like even numbered years typically more, but 2009 was still great. I’m sad that Christmas season is over and that I have to say goodbye to this wonderful year, but I’m really excited and looking forward to 2010. Hopefully my business will continue to grow, and I will continue to expand my horizons and become a better person. Goodbye 2009 (the last year of this century to have two consecutive 00′s,) Hello 2010!

A tribute to the wonderful Christmas season:

Last week I had the opportunity to do a photoshoot with Megan and her friends. You might remember that I recently shot her family’s Christmas photos. These girls are best friends and gave each other a portrait session for their Christmas present. I thought that was such a fun idea! We had a great time wandering around looking for awesome locations and here are some photos from their session!

Oh, how I love these Belt girls! When their mom requested a family session, I was so excited! These two are gorgeous sisters that I’m happy to call friends! We had a great time exploring photo locations in Scottsdale and I’m loving how the photos turned out. It’s great when people bring multiple outfits, and i definitely didn’t mind which University they represented :) Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
