Montelucia Wedding Photography: Gina and Jim

May 28, 2010

Gina and Jim had such an incredible and beautiful wedding at the Intercontinental Montelucia Resort in Scottsdale. The amazing attention to detail, the multiple live performances throughout the day, and the love between the bride and the groom were wonderful things to witness. The wedding showcased their personalities so well and the guests enjoyed themselves so much-it was just perfect! Thanks to One Fine Day for letting me shoot with them!

Scottsdale Senior Portraits: Shane

May 24, 2010

Last weekend I had the chance to shoot Shane’s senior photos. Shane will be graduating from Scottsdale Christian Academy this week (ahh!) and has such a promising future ahead of him! Shane is the kind of senior who knows exactly what he wants in his future and I’m sure he will be very successful as a doctor and politician.

Scottsdale Christian Academy Baccalaureate

May 17, 2010

Yesterday was a really strange day for me. My little sister had her Baccalaureate ceremony, which came way too quickly. Baccalaureate is a Christian graduation ceremony that comes before the real high school graduation. It’s basically a church service that “releases” them into the world outside of a Christian high school. She looked so gorgeous in her cap and gown but it was just so weird to see my baby sister all dressed up and grown up! I’m not ready for her to be done with high school yet! Time just goes by so quickly. These next two weeks until her graduation better go slowly!

Phoenix Senior Portraits: Lukas

May 12, 2010

This last weekend I had the opportunity to shoot Lukas’ senior portraits in Scottsdale. Lukas was a last minute senior due to other circumstances but I’m so glad that everything worked out and that I was the one able to document this big time in his life. He’s a senior at Scottsdale Christian Academy and is graduating in two and a half weeks! I cannot believe how quickly this year has gone. Lukas was so easy to shoot, pretty much a natural! Here are some of my favs from the senior session:
