Phoenix Desert Engagements: Adam & Shelly

April 29, 2012 Posted in: Weddings

Adam and Shelly are those kind of clients that I think I’ll be friends with for a long time after their wedding day. These two are SO fun to be around and their love is overwhelmingly sweet and true. I didn’t stop smiling once during their session or the whole time I was editing their photos. They were so flexible and their session turned into quite the adventure, especially since Shelly was in heels! They will be getting married this summer at Temple Beth Israel/the Gainey Ranch Hyatt and I seriously cannot wait!

Phoenix Engagement Session: Hunter & Tanya

April 14, 2012 Posted in: Weddings

Once upon a time, Tanya was a server at a restaurant and a guy named Hunter came in to have dinner with his mother. Tanya and Hunter really hit it off and when it was time to deliver the check, Tanya did something she had never done before, she wrote her number on it. Now, six years later, Tanya and Hunter will be eloping to Italy for a few weeks and get to spend the rest of their lives together. :) I had such a wonderful time working with them this week. Since their parents won’t be with them on their wedding day, they flew in from all over the country and we got some wonderful photos of them together!

101 in 1001 Goal Completed: #80

April 9, 2012 Posted in: My Life

This past weekend I got to cross another goal off of my 101 in 1001 goals list! I went a whole 24 hours with no phone and 48 hours with no Internet…and I loved it. It was so much harder than I expected it would be because I unfortunately hadn’t spent a day without my phone since 2008 I think. I turned off my computer on Friday evening and set out to take my first weekend off since I started my business a few years ago! It was supposed to be really relaxing, but it turned into a crazy, packed weekend full of activities, but I loved it all the same! I’m definitely going to force myself to take breaks more often because my productivity this morning was out the roof after two days of no business work. I also think it’s good for the soul. :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! I made Easter cake pops on Saturday, they turned out to be delicious!
