Monthly Archives: December 2009

The Last Day of 2009

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:

Happy New Year!

Scottsdale Portrait Photographer: M, N, J, K

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!

Scottsdale Family Photographer: The Belts

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:

Can’t believe there is only one week til the Big Day! Yay!!

Scottsdale Portrait Photography: The Yanos

I’ve known the Yanos for a few years now and have worked for their family and son Peter for awhile. They are such a kind family and I was definitely looking forward to taking their family photos. Gina and Jeff definitely have their hands full with two sets of teenage, identical multiples, but they are very blessed to have such sweet and fun kids.We got kicked out of our first location, so we had to get creative with the photos, but here are some from the day!
